new tattoo, no gym

i got a new tattoo, which can be viewed here

this means no gym for a few days at least. i have my humane society walk tomorrow which will probably be leisurely and not strenuous, so not a real calorie burner.

i have lost 5lbs in the last 2 weeks, and 12lbs total since january. i took nearly a 2 month hiatus on working out and eating right, which is very bad, but i am back on track. i will hit the gym again as soon as i'm healed enough not to be in pain when i'm lifting!

don't give up because you've hit a bump.

"Finish each day
And be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and
Absurdities have crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can."

a piece of a poem from Emerson. i am trying to live that way with my weight loss. no more getting down on myself.

shitty day - goodbye autumn

my cat died at 12:30am. great way to start april 11th. i am turning this blog into my fitness blog, instead of mirroring my livejournal blog.

soon i will begin posting about my progress in losing weight, and becoming more fit. i will share any special information that i find interesting or helpful. you can follow along or join in. we could all stand to be healthier.

as for today, i was really going to push myself to go to the gym and work out my foggy head there, but i just can't. i am going to make frozen pizza and have a beer or 5 and feel sad for my poor kitty.

i will post something in my livejournal blog soon explaining what happened, if you are worried, or you'd just like to know.

my husband and i are very upset. i will (I WILL) make it to the gym tomorrow morning before work. after work i am getting a new tattoo and i'm very excited. everything is tainted with sadness at the moment though.




she will be desperately missed
