Its not the jeans that make me look fat — its the FAT!!!

Edited to say I hate when I get whiney– and usually I just let things slide but oh well.  Times when low self-esteem creeps up on a person.  And when I post and get ignored I mustn’t take it personally — I am positive even as hard as I try I leave people out.  No can’t be I thought I was perfect — NOT!!!!!

 As you know dear blog I am still struggling.  Not being able to exercise for the last few weeks has taken quite a toll on my well being.  At least I have been able to start my day with the short walk into the campus — it only about 10 minutes but its so much better than nothing.  Now that our term startup is getting closer I am finding myself running from one building to the next all day long — so that is a good thing.  I went over to the gym yesterday to get my backpack for my flight tonight and got the new schedule of classes until Dec.  Looks like I will be doing classes Wed, Thurs and Friday.  I will include some other days depending on what they are teaching.  If they do any of the dance cardio classes on  Monday’s I want to be there!!!

 Last night I watched yet another great episode of X-Weighted.  Once again it was a young woman same height as me - different body shape and about 15 pounds lighter - but she rocked her lifestyle for the 6 months and lost a good amount of inches and pounds.  She looked fabulous and what encouraged me the most was her competition in a starter triathalon. It was 750m in a pool, 20km on bike and 5km run.  I told my sweetie I want to do one of those — I will need to get back into condition and then start training.  I can do the swim no problem — its my strongest ability.  20km on a bike — ok that is something I need to work on.  I goof around with my bike and do about 5km but there are no hills.  5km running (ok fast walking for me) is doable.  I did almost 3km walking last weekend in 25 minutes — I am sure I could train to do it faster.  We will see. Usually when I put this stuff down in writing it just falls by the wayside.
