Shocking news.

October 12, 2007

I exercised for the first time in forever this afternoon.

I kid you not, I think since August. The last time I remember being excited and motivated enough to move my body was the first time I reached -100lbs.

I biked 10 miles (35 minutes) and only stopped because my butt hurt. That used to happen before; it took weeks to work up my tolerance to a full hour.

I want to say I did this because I felt enthused, pain-free, or something else positive. (All not true.) But this really happened because I weighed over 219 this morning.

All of the fattening, carby food I ate this week was not worth the feeling I had seeing that on the scale this morning. If I lived alone I’d post signs all over the house. “Stop mindlessly feeding your face.” “Eat something green today.” “Is what you’re eating worth another hour on the bike?”

…

I could go on forever.

However, in feel-good news, there is a different take on a progress photo on Flickr. I give myself overall credit. But damn, 219??
