Losing Weight… And My Mind.

I am dieting again. That might explain my tone here as of late. I’m in a very spastic state these days. I feel like I’m taking part in one of those sprints where you’re running so fast, your legs can’t keep up with your body and eventually you just fall down. And it’s sorta fun right up until that moment you fall.

I feel like a human speedball. I feel like I’ve been up for nights on end.

I’ve lost weight, sure, but I think I might be losing my mind as well.

I’m also extremely busy at work. I’m so busy, I can barely think. I’m not happy about it, but that’s the breaks. Tonight, we’re supposed to begin Krav Maga class. While I know this would help me after the week I’ve had, I’m not even sure I can get out of work in time. Which actually does make me want to punch things.

    You wanna hear the dumbest part? The REAL reason I want to go is because TJ bought me a pair of black workout pants and they’re really freaking nice. I really want to wear them.

    And kick bags.

    you’ll probably look extra cool, kicking something…eh, fur bags.

    I went back to our company gym this morning after being MIA for months. My personal trainer practically jumped for joy when she saw me, but she generously gave me some space while I huffed and puffed on the elliptical runner. I’m sure she’ll start kicking my ass after she sees me there for a week or so. She feels it’s her personal responsibilty to get me in shape to play rugby again.

    no way! I’m eating, just cutting back on certain things. I’m following South Beach more or less. It works, but the first two weeks are rough. Rewarding, but rough.

    I just want to tell you, after so many comments on postmodernism and on people’s ‘causes’, that I love you and think you are awesome even if you might just be a little crazy sometimes.
    I also love your husband, but in a totally platonic, internet kind of way.
    I have to come meet you guys and hang out. Soon.

    Sarah, your comment just gave me enough strength to try and punch some bags.

    Thank you for that.

    I’m having a really rough week.
