Don't ask, its Rob.

ski bunny, 06-07 season

I know I've been pretty MIA from the blogosphere recently. Its due to a combination of factors - being sick for a couple of weeks, work stress, emotional mess, and spending just about every weekend in Tahoe.

Now that ski season is essentially over, I'll hopefully at least have weekends to post. I have to say, skiing is my new passion. I was so sad to leave Kirkwood yesterday, as I knew that it would most likely be the last time I'd be there until next winter (unless we miraculously have a snow storm in April).

The 06-07 season in retrospect:
1. I'm never cheating on Kirkwood again. I LOVE that resort - every time I go, I have a blast, even when the snow isn't stellar.

2. Heavenly sucks. Poorly designed, unpleasant staff, stupid patrons. Ugh.

OK, not terribly insightful, but I've committed myself. Next season, I'm definitely getting an on-resort cabin and a season pass. Anyone interested?

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.

Week 1 Stats:
  • Weight: 123 lbs
  • Body Fat: 24.7%
  • Total APs: 12
  • Chest: 33"
  • Waist: 28"
  • Hips: 35.5"


Week 2 Goals:
  • Points Target: 23.5
  • AP Target: 16
  • WW Meeting: Monday
  • Workout Schedule: AM Ellip on Mon and Wed, Trainer on Tues, Dance on Thurs, Tahoe on Sat
Plus I've got a plan for the rest of ski season, a new little black dress and a bikini on the way. Yay!
