Yesterday was my six week surgiversary. As of today, I am 54 pounds down. To give you perspective, here are some things that weigh around 54 pounds:
1. A 4 year old dalmation
2. A second grader
3. Three full bags of groceries
4. 1 and a half sets of golf clubs
5. A bushel AND a peck of apples
6. Two Trek 33 mountain bikes
Imagine any one of those things strapped to your ass. In addition to playing hell finding a good fitting pair of pants, life in general would be pretty sucky.
I started working out in earnest last week; I was finally released for exercise more strenuous than walking. I've been power walking two miles a day; I can do two miles in about 20 minutes. I just starting doing a mile on the eliptical on Monday. So, I think that has contributed greatly to the bump this week. It is incredible how much easier exercise is with 54 pounds off.
BTW, I really love the gym I joined; Matt Ross Community Center. It's super affordable, close to home, never overly crowded and everyone is very normal. No roided out gym weirdos, or Workout Barbie wannabes: just normal folks, getting their workout on. Like me. :)
