Well ladies (and gentleman, of course..) I've been shocked back into the game.
I don't even know what to say, I'm so mad at myself.
One horrifying step on the scale and I dropped everything, put on my workout clothes and went to the track to walk 3-1/2 miles. ..and filled up a water bottle on my way out the door.
So, I'm back. Mostly. I'm actually in Oregon right now visiting family and friends for another week and a half then I'm back home to Athens. But I am not waiting till I get back to get started. My goal is to be 5lbs lighter by the time I step on the plane. I realize that's kind of a large number for 11 days but two words, water weight. And even tho I know it will be just that - I don't care! It's still 5lbs. Then when I get home I'll step on my scale asap ...anticipating that it's probably going to be a different number then the scale here at my parents. ..and haul myself back to the gym.
This is short and sweet but if I didn't get it posted now, I knew I would just keep putting it off. I'll try to post daily before I go back home but it may be spotty.. But here I am, heavier then I've been in YEARS, embarressed... and I'm back :)
Oh where are you in Oregon??? Are you close to me??? That would be so cool if we got to meet! I missed you on here! Sorry to hear about the scale but I am glad to see you back!
You have been so missed! I was so excited to see your name on Google reader.
You have taken the first step--it just gets easier from here on out.
I understand completely where you are coming from. After the mini marathon last May I basically lost my "give a sh*t". I have reached all-time, life-time maximum density.
I'm glad you got a chance to come home. You were really home sick last time we talked. Have you had tons of snow? I'm guessing you don't see that in Greece but I could be wrong. All your pics seem so tropical.
