A few of you have been asking me how we fared in our $1000 Bet. Well, it's still on with little progress from each of us. My wonderfully sweet new friend Cassie from the coffee shop asked me the other day if I'd lost weight and insisted that I have. She is too kind.
Having John gone for a month is added incentive. It gives me the sense that I can get a bunch done in that department without him around. When we're together we eat out A LOT. I stocked the fridge with some healthy food, but not too much. I want to make sure there are only a few options so I'm forced to eat a turkey wrap on Lavash instead of Kraft Mac & Cheese. Fresh salad instead of canned soup. Oh yeah, I'm a real gourmand.
And now for the KICKER. It's called Prize and Punishment. I've done a deal with myself this week. No going to poker on Thursday unless I've worked out three mornings between Monday and Thursday. (and thats saying there's going to be poker, I don't know for sure yet. If they make it Wed, I'll have to do it all by Wed). I also bought some little girly 3lb dumbells and some ankle and wrist weights and added that to my core strengthening bouncy ball. I did a half an hour of make up stuff that I sort of remember from the DVD and the trainer I once had and do it in reps till it kinda hurts stuff. And I'll follow that up with a brisk walk or short job later this afternoon. I've got a lot of work to do this week. Lots. So, off to it.
Structure, structure, structure! But it gets lonely out here in the 'Dena so somebody come over for dinner. I've got falafel and middle eastern thingies from the shop up the street. And more beer and wine than you can shake a stick at. Get over here.
CURRENT: Pasadena, CA
NEXT: Las Vegas this weekend?
I can't make it out there for dinner, but I'm rooting for you! Good luck!
