A Smidjin at a time

You know what they say about keeping the ball rolling. That if you stop doing something you lose momentum and it gets harder to pick it back up the longer you are off. Holy cow, is that true. I missed one spin class, one, and when I went back today it was so hard. And we didn't even do that much spinning did we. I missed Monday, which means I hadn't worked out in 4 days, hadn't done a spin class since last wednesday. And boy did I feel it. I felt like I was starting all over again. Course maybe that did have something to do with why I was out Monday. Man, I did not like feeling that way. If I ever do get real appendicitis I think I might be crying like a baby. But what I really wanted to share was that I bought a new shirt today, that is a size MEDIUM! I know the pictures look good, I just wish I felt as 'skinny' as those pictures look. Getting our brain and our mind to realize the same thing is sometimes really hard.

Though the month is still young, I have the feeling with the exception of valentines day emotions themselves, this is gonna be a good month. Beginning of the month started with my not sleeping very well for about 3 weeks thanks to some extra than normal stress at work. Enter the already scheduled doctors appointment with an amazing doctor whom I love, and I am now a casual friend of Ambien. Taken here and there they have been so amazing and though the extra stress isn't gone I am sleeping better. The appointment was scheduled for once again more follow-up for my PCOS and it's various manifestations in my life. It was a good talk, had lost nearly 4 pounds in the 2 months since the last appointment. Now I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but for someone with a metabolic syndrome it actually is. Had more labs drawn before leaving. And the results came back yesterday. I can't believe how fast it worked but that Lipitor stuff works. My cholesterol levels are SO much BET
