I've stopped counting...Well sorta..More on that in a moment. Gooooood morning STACers...Oh my gosh, it's gonna be a great day...It' very cold, brisk, its the last day of school before the holiday and a major holiday is just about to happen...Caitlin and I are plotting and planning bike rides and jogs, and thinking how we can get some goood exercise activity in around all the responsibilities. I know Catilin is thinking, "slllleeeeeeeeep" She just wants to sleep in! Me, I promise to not set the alarm for Wed or Sat. I am not a Thanksgiving Fan, but it will be very cool to arrive at this season feeling great, keeping my promises, and really feeling good about myself.
I've stopped counting cheat free days. I have moved away from "write every single thing down"- mode, to lifestyle. Don't panic! I know exactly what day it is, 112...but where that use to really motivate me, now I don't need it. I took it out of the siggy, it's transitioning to the back of my mind. Ounces is the only number I will be paying attention to, and milage because I am in a committed relationship with a milage challenge. Scales don't really hold a huge pull, thou I am 3 lbs from breaking into the 170's...and I would love to be 175 by Christmas, but New Years might be a better time to "wish" for. Actually I'll get there when I get there!!!
But numbers aren't that important and really I should be dreaming of size 14 instead of the 170's because that would blow me away...I am totally out of the "x1, x2,and x3's now. I am barely an XL...
New numbers have started to rise up in my line of sight...Getting my milage in under a certain time, that's a number. Jan 1 is a number I long to see...That's a number. Seeing Catilin hit 120miles this month on the bike, that's a number.
We are lucky we can count, it is a very useful tool. I love numbers and keep spreadsheets on our whole journey here. I am getting ready to pull out a pair of pants I cannot wear. That I want to wear in Jan. I am also pulling out an old shirt that I love, but still can't wear. I am, also pulling out the largest pair of summer pants I own that I wore in July...They have numbers and will reflect a huge change... I am also going to find 42 pounds of books and put them on the scale for me to see how much I have lost and then leave them as a stack in the corner.
But, hey whose counting???? I am hoping that in 6 more months, lifestyle will be so established I will have less numbers in my life.
