Monday Musings

In the past few weeks, I have had several encounters where someone said, "I didn't know that about you." Being a lover of random acts of kindness and random thoughts, I decided to make it easier for my friends and list some of them here. (Makes it easier to avoid small talk later. No offense...)

  1. Yes, I used to be quiet and shy. It was my protection against a screwed up family. (You have no idea...) Ditched the family & ditched the shell.
  2. Yes, I have performed stand-up comedy & received a standing ovation every single time. I'm working on plans to return to it this summer!
  3. Yes, I do hate Tom Brady and Christian Laettner equally. There is no other athlete that will ever be able to cause my blood to boil in the way these two gals do.
  4. Yes, I really am working to obtain a pilot's license.
  5. No, I do not have a romantic bone in my body. No seriously, romantic gestures make me suspicious. Besides, I much prefer my funny bone!
  6. No, I do not have dreams of 2.5 kids and a white picket fence. Never have, never will. And no, I don't have anything against those who do. I just know I'd feel like a caged animal & die a slow death inside. Been there, done that.
  7. Yes, I did go to the National Spelling Bee & National Free Throw Championships in the same year. 
  8. Yes, I really do make inappropriate jokes at inappropriate times. It eases the tension (at least for me.)
  9. I will high five or give "knucks" to anyone. There are approximately 10 people allowed to hug me. 
  10. If you "knew me from school", I can assure you that you don't know me anymore unless you've spoken to me in the past year or so. But I'm always open to have a drink and chat! Just don't expect me to be the timid, smart girl. Well, I'm still smart but more smartass than timid. I can also assure you that I want to leave the world a better place than I found it.

Day One

Today was day one of getting up at 5 a.m. to meet with my trainer. I was actually up early, fearful I would oversleep. I ended up getting to the gym early & was able to squeeze in some cardio, which was good for my achilles. In the early stages, I am not sure how long it take to warmup, drive there, etc so I figured I'd set the tone right from day one by being early.  After meeting Eli, my trainer, we went over all the standard contract stuff and took some measurements. Talk about a wake-up call. I am not going to post them here 'cause quite frankly, it is no one's business but mine. However, it made me see just how much 3 D&Cs and an achilles injury in the past 18 months has really affected my body. Putting it down on paper made it real and it motivated me to say "Never again." Getting to the gym early was easier than I thought. Yes, it's day one and I'm sure that will change, but I used to do it every single day when I was on the radio. I ...

Reflections & Realizations

After weeks of not working out and traveling, I stepped on the scale Monday to my highest weight ever. Granted a lot of it is indeed fluid, but still, it was a sign that I needed to get back to focusing on my health. After busting my head wide open and battling the concussion, I was lazy. I was lazy in not just my weight loss battle, but all aspects of my life. The doctor warned me that I might have some slight depression/mind fog from the concussion, but I just shrugged it off. Well, Monday it dawned on me that he was right and it was time to crack down on my mind crack. Yesterday, I was getting ready to head to the gym and sign up with my new trainer. (Yeah I dropped the other one. We just weren't clicking and he was way too focused on the scale. Being a recovered anorexic, I just couldn't deal with that.) I was walking out the door, realizing I had a huge sense of dread and anxiety inside me, just waiting to bust out. In the past, I would have ignored those feelings and...

Arthritis 5k Fail

I was supposed to run the Jingle Bell 5k this a.m. Ironically, I woke up with joint pain so severe that I couldn't get out of bed at a normal time, much less walk a 5k. Once again, I failed. With the recent snowstorm, I haven't moved with purpose in several weeks. I have no desire to workout. Why? I see no point. No matter what I do, the scale doesn't budge any direction but up. I'm not sure where to go from here, but I know this: I am lost.
