Starting Monday…a journey to the finish…

Well, I’m off to a slooooow start, but I’m finally headed in the right direction. At my weigh in tonight, I was down .8. So in 4 weeks, I’m down a whopping pound. All things considered, I’m content with it. I’d love to see 2lbs a week, but hey…with the way I screwed up my metabolism last year, I’m lucky to see the scale budge AT ALL, in a favorable direction. One day at a time, I suppose.

The Halloween party at my bar was great. I looked cute..the beer was cold (I only had a few…ok, and 2 shots. And boy was I hungover yesterday. Every time I drink I tell myself “you’re only drinking beer. No shots.” Does that ever happen? No. Damned Yaeger Bombs. =) On a different note, my dad won the costume contest at the bar. Oh my lord…you should have seen him. By the way he looked when they announced his name, you would have thought he won a million dollars. Check out my MySpace…there’s a ton of pics on there. http://www.myspace.com/cynicalred

In other news, I just got back from my new kickboxing class. My lord…I walked out of there completely, and I mean COMPLETELY drenched in sweat. Seriously, I looked like I had just stepped out of the shower. The class itself was pretty good…nothing I couldn’t do. There were only 2 big chicas in there…but let me tell you, I did most of those kicks, punches and squats a million times better than some of the skinny bitches in there. The instructor looked at me with this look of utter amazement….which is funny. I guess society assumes that heavy people are generally uncoordinated and non-athletic. On the contrary…I’ve always been pretty good at sports…and surprised the hell out of people when at my heaviest, I made the sports teams in high school. Just goes to show ya…you truly can’t judge a book by its cover.

Well folks, I’m off to shower, and watch my millionth scary movie of the week. (Did I mention Halloween is my favorite holiday?) Have a good one! =)
