This is the last week of the Mass Media Meltdown. I have learned so much in the last eight weeks. I have pushed myself harder than I have ever pushed myself and I have found myself pushing others. I have made a lot of changes and I think they are going to stick.
I can actually RUN on the treadmill. RUN people. The only time I could ever run (well, let’s be honest and call it what it was which was totally not a run it was more of a non-walk) was when I was in iminent danger or I thought I was going to miss out on a shoe sale, which didn’t happen enough to keep my heart rate up.
I am proud of myself. I would say I have developed a bit of a strut! I enjoy going to the gym and I will continue to go. I like to feel the burn and sweat out all of the stresses of my day. It’s such a more effective way of dealing with my emotions than eating was, I have found. Why? When you eat to heal you feel bad or worse than you did when you started eating in the first place! When you work out, you feel a sense of accomplishment, like you beat the craving or the emotion and you got something out of it on top of that! It’s just awesome! It’s therapy!!
Lowell and Kristi are so great. I can’t say enough good things about them. They are just so wonderful and patient, understanding, muscular and tan! I love them so much and Kristi loves me too.
This week is going to be bittersweet. I am going to be working out harder and eating better than I ever have to try and help my team come out on top but I know that no matter what is published in the paper next week, we’ve all managed to melt away and become slimmer, stronger versions of our already awesome selves.
Yay us!
