wogged the entire return portion of trail w/o stopping. My nemesis, phatgirl wogger was trying to punk me. NOT TODAY! :: evil grin :: I WIN!

just won a bout of 4 skinny bitches jogging shoulder to shoulder hogging the trail. I growled. Skinny bitch moved. Game Over!

is headed to the gym for 2nd dose of wogging and pain.

lost 6 lbs so far and clothes are loosening up. YAY! Keeping the 2 a days going this week.

is watching the "Be Good Johnny Weir" marathon on Sundance. I'm lovin' me some Weir, Galina, Tara and the FURS!

is giving my feet a rest today. 4 miles a day was taking its toll. Looking forward to playtime tonight. Birthday parties and Techno! YEAH-AH

didn't feel like it this AM, then I noticed my waist is reappearing. I hit the trail. May not feel up to it some days, but feel so good afterwards.

says when you see someone who is overweight exercising, don't mock. Instead, think of how you can do better for your own wellness. They are.

noticed the creepy tote bag trail man stared at me a couple few seconds too long. Duly noted. :/

completed another 2 a day workout. Feels good. Can't wait to start seeing real progress.

Off and Running. Countdown to 40.

Getting ready that night for this particular outing, I stopped at Lane Bryant to buy a few new outfits to wear out that night. I didn't have time to try them on and figured they would fit just fine since I went up a couple sizes from the size that I thought I wore. When I got home and started trying on the outfits, NONE OF THEM FIT!! NOT ONE! I was so disgusted. Thankfully, I rummaged around in my closet and found a shirt and pants that fit and that's the outfit you see above.

After the photos from that night were posted online, I decided it was time to do something about my appearance. I have been whining about my weight for the past couple years and have FINALLY gotten to a point in my life where I am determined to do something to make actual progress and not just play at getting fit.

I've signed up for Weight Watchers Online and have been working out daily the past couple weeks. This week, I started working out twice daily. I get up and walk/job about 2 miles every morning, then in the evening I go to my favorite little gym and trot on the treadmill for another 2 miles, then do nautilus and core training. I'm, even, weening myself off of soda. Yes, I'm kicking my Diet Coke obsession.

Part of my motivation is purely narcissitic in that I don't like the way I look in my photos lately, but the major motivating factor is my health and wellness. For example, during the months when I was least active, I noticed my knees began to ache and hurt. Now that I'm working out daily, my knees feel great. I can only attribute this to increased blood flow. Emotionally, I'm feeling really confident and enthusiastic. I've resumed my normal social butterfly activities and am in the throws of planning what will, inevitably, be a fun, raucous 40th birthday weekend.

says when you get sick and tired of being sick and tired, you'll do something about it. Word.

thwarted a sneak-up, pass me and smirk move by a fellow phatgirl wogger (walk/jog) this AM. Jogged 1/8 mi w/o stopping. Smoked her. Couldn't catch me.

thinks it's getting easier to get up and get at it. I'm liking it. 2 miles again this AM.

completed another 2 miles, upper body nautilus and some core training. Meals good again today. Only 1/2 Diet Coke.

did 1.75 miles this morning along the Trolley Trail. One done workout done. More this evening. Meal planning needs to be figured out now.

overheard during knit night "...she sounded like she was mainlining lithium."

says 2nd workout done. Ate pretty healthy today. Nothing fried, complex carbs, only 1 Diet Coke.

returning to my sewing room to churn out another garment. Hope to be done in next few hours.

has started paring down again. Myself and various and sundry cruft. Time to focus!
