Oh the Weather Outside…

Is HORRID, and yet we are still in school. Sigh, go figure. And when you work in a school that is 69% Mexican, you don't get a lot of students on snowy days. This place is dead today! I suppose that it is sort of good news though because it means I can blog…

First of all, let me just say, my readers rock! Thank you for your comments and lurve. You certainly make my day! Starting this blog has been one of the best things I've ever decided to do. It keeps me real, it keeps me sane (well, sort of!) and it keeps me accountable. This blog has also reminded me that writing is what I really love to do.

Second, I, in my agitated mental state, have somehow decided to do a spinning class tonight! Shhhhh…..I'll tell you a secret. I love spinning! And I'm really glad that I get to do a class tonight! I've gotten a lot of questions from friends lately about spinning. All I can say is you've got to try it. Yes it is hard – but it's a great workout. And hey, if you never try anything new, you'll be stuck in that same old rut that got you were you are in the first place……

And I'm done counting now.

I got on the scale this morning and saw yet another weight I haven't seen in a couple of years and wanted to jump up and down and count it as my official weigh in for the week. I made myself stop and breathe and not count it as official just yet. Besides, now that I'm going to spinning tonight, I just may end up a bit lower than that yet. Of course, knowing my luck, I'll end up somehow gaining five pounds in the next 24 hours… We all know how funny the scale can be!

So yesterday, I had a wee bit of a heart attack. I finished my grueling torture session with PT and headed into the office to sign the PT book. PT pulled me aside when I went to schedule my next session with him and said that he was moving. I freaked! I'm sure my heart rate monitor was at like 250 beats a minute! Okay, not actually. Then he explained he was just moving a different location and I could still do my sessions with him. Phew…..no biggie. I can work out at the other club too – it's not that far out of my way to stick with PT! Yes, yes, I know how spoiled I am to have him. Did I mention that I have a roomy who buys groceries? If I didn't I would have starved long ago – since all of my money goes to pay PT. Amazing, but I really don't care. The changes that that man has made in my body are incredible and worth every penny. Hmmm…I sort of sound like I'm trying to justify this……lol well, after showing roomy my ass the other day (I know, I know – totally weird), I got all of the justification I needed.

I got even more justification for my expensive habit when I tried on clothes that were in the back of my closet. I have this gorgeous gold dress that I wore two years ago to my student's prom. It fit me like a sausage casing back then. I had to wear one of those horrid sucking-in contraptions that truly just doubled the sausage effect. It wasn't pretty folks – and I have the pictures to prove it. Now, however, it is too big and needs serious taking in. I suppose this is yet more proof of how working out can change your body even if the scale isn't moving so fast. What a feeling it was to go through the closet and actually fit into clothes I've never even worn. Like the gorgeous hot pink silk skirt I got on clearance at Neiman Marcus three years ago…va va va vooooom!

Yes, I am a wee bit on cloud nine these days – for many different reasons. But fitting back into clothes, and feeling sexy again certainly is near the top of my list of reasons that I can't seem to keep my feet on the ground…

Alright, back to work for me. I am enjoying the quiet…it's so unusual! Ooooh, wait is that the sound of projectile vomit??? Yup. Um, lovely. I didn't know it could stick to walls that way. Ahhhh the joys of being a teacher!

Have a great day!
