CarbKiller: Moving Along

I’ve been going to the gym every day. I realize there are those who believe that you should take a day off every week. But I figure if my body can withstand several years of going to the gym annually, it deserves to see how the other half lives. I have to assume this is going pretty well because so far I’ve been losing pretty consistently. (Yes, I realize I probably just jinxed myself).

But to be honest, despite HZ’s body challenges I’m loving this. Why? Because sometime around the middle of June I had an epiphany. I have two more half marathons scheduled for this year. Disneyland in September and Long Beach in October. That’s 26.2 miles total in less then a month. Every pound I lose is one more pound I don’t have to carry for 26.2 miles.

Kind of changes one’s perspective doesn’t it.

So weight loss at this moment is like Spring cleaning. Do I like to start Spring cleaning? Hell no. But once those closets are emptied and all my crap is piled on my bed I am the Goodwill donating queen of the world!

I’m really not sure where my lost weight will go, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t praying that it would somehow land on Kate Moss’s ass before sister falls over and dies like those kids in the third world. She could take the extra 70 pounds and still look like she needs a cheeseburger.

Anyway, so far since mid June I’ve worked out every day except one. And I’ve actually worked out two or three times on the same day. Like the day I went kayaking for 90 minutes and then came home and did the stationary bike for an hour. And since I have my cellphone, DirectTV with premium movie channels in the gym, and a big old stack of books for entertainment I’m doing pretty well.

Oh, and I’m still eating the occasional chocolate. A girl can’t survive on eggwhites alone.

I’m also going to leave you with a picture of my friend D’s dogs. I’ve been told when I can actually jog the half marathon I can take the pit bull you see on your left on a “walk.” Apparently he has two speeds. Regular and extra frisky.
