Just lost everything I'd written! Start over...Okay...Day 48 of Insanity. SO not looking forward to it. I have the Fit Test AND I get to do Max Interval Circuit. The Fit Test takes a lot out of you already...only about 20 or 25 min., but full on, maximum effort, as many as you can do of each exercise in a 60 second burst. It's much more tiring than it sounds. And THEN I get to do the 60 min. workout, which is tough (of course)already - it was tough with the first four weeks of that one when it was about 15 min. shorter. Oh well. You know, Shaun T really makes you pay for it when you get a day off or a recovery day, because the following day is killer. So I'm not really excited to get started this morning, so thought I'd catch up on journaling, and I didn't record a journal entry yesterday.
So yesterday I had what I could only assume might feel like being bipolar. I'd showered and put on make up, did the hair, was looking for a pair of jeans to wear. I'm down to TWO pair that fit now... the one I bought the other day and the one that was my inspiration pair of jeans - the ones with the strategically placed rips :). The newer ones I will have to wear with heels (or give to my long-legged friend klannoye!) and so not a time to wear heels. With my feet, it must be "an occasion". All of my 7's? Some feel okay when you first put them on, but then get all baggy in the most unflattering places within a half an hour. This is going to be one HUGE donation pile. So I'm thinking I'll go to my new favorite thrift store. No sense putting serious money into clothes when you're not at your goal weight. And besides, this place is amazing. I don't think I've ever been there and left empty-handed. Yesterday I found a cool bamboo cutting board, looked completely unused, no knife marks - for $2. It's sort of narrow and longer, like you'd use for a block of cheese and some crackers, but it's also a good size for sandwiches and cutting up a piece of fruit. Stuff like that... always feels like a treasure hunt!
So I get to the store and start to peruse the rack with the 5/6's on it, feeling pretty good about myself. But also a little self-conscious, like some skinny bitch is going to come up and ask me WHY I'm looking there! LOL I found two pair to put in my cart, and continue on to the 3/4's for the heck of it. Found a pair that I wanted to try from there, too. I actually had probably 6 or 7 pairs altogether, go try them on and loved the way two of them fit, and the third went on, but wouldn't really button at the top. BUT... I thought, why not? Another pair of inspiration jeans...not problem. And if for some reason, I don't manage to drop another inch or so in my abdomen, well, heck, I'm out like $10. One of the 5/6's is a pair of 7 For All Mankind jeans. So I Google them and the ones I bought (for $25 - a lot for a thrift store) sell for between $155 - 189. Now WHO would pay almost two hundred bucks for jeans? Not me! Not even if I were a size 1! But $25? Can't really argue that one. So I'm feeling all sassy and cute, even found an awesome silver bracelet with some polished red stone (not coral? too red?) at the counter. Go to pay for my treasures and.... the girl asks me if I get the SENIOR DISCOUNT!!! (55 and over there) WTH. So I just looked at her and said, You know...JUST for ASKING me that, you really ought to GIVE it to me! Talk about going from the top of the world, to feeling pretty insecure about myself in a span of about half a second! I KNOW I'm getting older, but honestly, unless I've deceived myself and those around me, I don't look like I'm very close to 55! And no offense to anyone that IS or older than that...but come on...none of us like having people tack on years to our ages (unless we're trying to get into a bar when we're teenagers). You know, even if she THOUGHT I was, she still shouldn't have asked! They'd made the announcement several times while I was there that it was senior citizen day and if you were older than 55, you would get a 20% discount. And to add insult to injury, she did NOT give me the discount. Be-otch... Which would have been $15! I STILL think she OWED it to me for destroying my self-esteem for the day!
Needless to say, I did NOT feel cute anymore that day until my husband mentioned that I looked a lot skinnier and must have lost a lot more weight. That made me smile. But no, I've lost a bit...hardly measurable, but it's the inches. Which is the ONLY reason why I don't FLAT OUT hate MISTER Shaun T (yet... I'll let you know after this grueling workout ahead). Sigh...as if being called M'am everywhere isn't insulting enough. We AREN'T in the South and most of these people have never been in the military... M'am should be DROPPED from the English language.
Weight 131.6
Okay...later on. I did the Fit Test and think...damn...think I'm going to put the workout off until tomorrow. I hate doing this, but 1 - it wipes me out. And 2, I have to go pick up tickets to the concert tomorrow and since I don't know where it is, will meet my son near there. So I have to shower and all. Nice excuse, but I'm going to take it. That fit test, whew! What are they THINKING? Having you do it AND a full workout the same day? So, I'll be finishing this program two days late, now. Oh well... still burned 250 calories doing the fit test.
