The gym, though it is old and moldy (quite literally), is my friend. I have been wearing out the elliptical machines (quite figuratively) and am feelin' goooooooooood as Jenifer Hudson has been singing on those commercials for a weight loss program that SHALL NOT BE NAMED! :)
The challenges I am in (yes plural) are going well; slow and steady, but well.
I have achieved an 8 lb loss overall since the beginning of 2k12! My health level feels a crap ton better than a measly 8lbs though.
I don't know if I want to be bothered with weight training yet, because it may build bulk/retain weight (in the fat to muscle conversion process) but I am welcoming advice on that.
I had an excellent Valentine's Day yesterday. My favorite boy got me some yummy dark chocolates from Rocky Mountain, a beautiful bouquet, tickets to see Cults (the band, not a gathering of several groups of kooks), and tickets to see Anthony Bourdaine and Eric Ripert at the Detroit Opera House on Friday!!! I can not wait!
He is the sweetest man! (my boyfriend, not Anthony Bourdaine... though I'm sure he has his qualities)
I have been having a great time reconnecting with friends and family lately too. I had a fantastic lunch with all my MI Haydon ladies last Saturday and the Saturday after next I will be getting together with some girls from waaaaaay back in the day at JFK High! Should be a great time, hopefully full of laughs and free from the anxiety I inflicted on myself in high school to either be funny or shut up. :)
I'll be hitting up the gym tonight and then spending some quality time with my pal MA. I can't wait to catch up on everything we missed in the last week or so since we saw each other last! :)
Good Times!!!
