surreal life

I've been sick in a weird, exhausted kind of way for almost a week - there's something funky going around the office where we get hit and sleep for 48 hours straight right now. And in the brief snatches of hours that I *am* awake, things have been weirdly out of context - eg, offsite today rather than work, etc. As a consequence, everything feels totally surreal, especially the changes in my life that I've walked through rather half-asleep recently.

Logically, I know what did happen and what was a dream. But because I've been sleeping so much, my funky dreams feel as real to me as reality, and because I've been half-awake, real events feel as unreal to me as my dreams.

Regardless. The point is that things are changing, and without me forcing them or even in control. And I kind of like it.

Oh Nathan, honey, little do you know of the tortures us women go through.

spring ap challenge, week 1: the click

I'm terribly glad that gvmemoment is back on ExP, because she always manages to pinpoint a word or a phrase that ends up being the theme of my weight loss efforts. First time around, it was all about being fierce; this time, its "the click".

Anyone who's ever tried to either lose weight or maintain knows what "the click" is - its that point where why you're doing this not only makes sense, but feels right. I felt the click last year, right about this time, when I first started WW. And ever since I lost the 20 lbs, its been miserable, because I haven't cared to maintain the weight, lose more fat, work out, eat right, etc etc.

Which explains why my efforts the last 6 months ago have been so half-assed. I've been doing it because I feel like I should, or I am bloated or something, but not because it actually felt right. But this week, that click finally happened. And I am happy to say that I'm back on the wagon - getting to goal, getting to Lifetime, and getting back in shape.
