I went and worked out at the gym yesterday (bodysculpt with a woman that has the most amazing arms). Anyway, my butt hurts.

I can't run for the next two weeks. Therefore, I can't complete the running program. I spoke to the instructor and he said that I can complete it next month. This does suck and to add to it, I am sleeping on that knee weird so it's aggravated every morning.


Every Morning for the past week!

I have to rest my knee for the next two days but all I want to do is go for a run tomorrow. On the lake. With my dear dear friend Joey.


Sad.

Skinny Pig

I ran today, not the whole loop but 90% of it. My mood improved drastically afterwards. Endolphins?

P.S. - Thanks for bringing me my stuff, you rock!

All About Me & My Ass

Sometimes I think I should put everything on hold until I loose the weight I put on the last few months. I'll see a cute guy and perhaps think about flirting and then I remember my ass and chin and I will turn and walk the other way. (Hoping that he isn't looking at my ass as I turn and walk the other way.)

Frustration Rears its Fugly Head

As a reminder, my goal is to lose 5 lbs a month till july.

In January, I dropped 4 lbs. Not bad, only one pound under my goal. considering that some of my exercise has been weight training, maybe I put on some muscle.

In february, I dropped another 4 lbs, okay so maybe the same thing happened again, you know. Then on the 28th as my last weigh in for the month I found out that I had put on 3 of those 4 lbs lost for the month.
WTF! I am so angry. Especially considering how hard I worked uptil this week. PMS hit over the weekend and things went a little blurry/hairy for a bit. It's okay now, I'm doing much better. I did find out that I can't eat cheese anymore. I had 1.5 ozs on my hamburger and I thought I was going to throw up. So what do I do now? I have now lost 5 lbs when I should have lost 10 at this point. March has officially started and my weight is driving me nuts.

that's all, needed to vent.

Ponder this.

I was looking around campus today and noticed the strangest thing. This is ofcourse in comparison to UofM (Ann Arbor) but anyways:
I noticed that almost everyone on campus at UT is in pretty good shape. I don't mean that they are very fit, since I have no way of knowing this but in the sense that they all seem within their healthy weight ranges.
However, the people that aren't healthy are extrememly overweight. But even then there aren't that many of them either. That's just strange to me. At UofM, it seems, there was a 60-40 break between the healthy/over weights.

Now, there are two possible reasons this has jumped out at me.
1. It's possible that since Michigan was such a cold state, the incidence of obesity was higher there. Detroit is one of the fattest cities in the US but then so is Houston.

2. It's also possible that since I was on the engineering campus I was witnessing a skewed population. Allow me to explain. The campus had a university run cafeteria that closed at 2. After that, your options were a cafe (also university run) that was obscenely expensive and a coffee shop with 'healthy' sugar. Oh, and little ceasers that turned into McDs later. So, needless to say, we weren't the best eaters. Even the stuff that was walking distance (uphill!) from the campus was greasy chinese (lucky chicken fondly called yucky chicken) or a bagel shop that closed at 2-ish.

I wonder what this difference is about, I'll leave it to you to decide.
