I did really well during our vacation in Chicago. I exercised almost everyday, and I came back feeling confident that I didn't gain any weight within those six days.
Something has been on my mind, though. I keep dreaming about my ex. I think something happened. I shouldn't care, but I want to find out if things are OK. I shouldn't care. This doesn't make sense that I have these long, elaborate dreams about meeting again. We fought a lot when we were together. We fight in my dreams too. And yet I have to stop myself from texting ARE YOU OK because it has been six years since we spoke... and it was not a good conversation. I ended up drunk, asleep on the couch in a club downtown, and I got kicked out of that club. Nice.
So why do I keep having these dreams? I'm so upset when I wake up from the dreams, too, like my subconscious is just gnawing at me to get in touch with someone who basically annihilated my life during the five years we were together. I shouldn't care. We've moved on with our lives, and I should be thankful I didn't spend more than five years being tormented and cheated on.
I need to concentrate on becoming physically healthier. Nevermind my ex. My ex probably doesn't even remember me, as the last words I heard were "Our marriage wasn't real." Oh. Is that why the Norwegian government keeps trying to make me pay taxes? Because according to them, we were married for a while. See, now I'm getting angry just thinking about it.
Sometimes I think I'm doing a lot to get my body healthier, but as for my mental well-being... I still have issues to iron out. I wish I could just be happy-go-lucky LOL

Angel is away on vacation for a week, but every dang day she makes sure we get some text from her that says something along the lines of "Don't forget to exercise," or "Don't forget to drink your water." Yesterday took the cake. She actually e-mailed us a form to fill out so we can list down this whole week what we did as exercise for a total of 6 hours. I don't think I'm going to have a problem with keeping up with it, but it reminds me of being in high school again, and being the only nerd who actually did her homework. Oh well.
I'm going to Chicago on Wednesday, and I'm excited. I have absolutely no money for it, but hey... my sister paid my way and told me not to worry about a thing. Otherwise, I would not have gone. Robert's family has a reunion every two years, and they have all sorts of activities planned throughout the week, like boat tours and such. My plan is to work out every morning in the hotel's fitness room, do the sight-seeing with them, and bring my hydration pack (which I will fill with ice cubes from the hotel's ice machine LOL), and then try to work out before I go to bed. At the end of this vacation, I will be happy if I don't have any weight gain.
I started doing my food diary again yesterday, and I was aghast. I met my RDA, but damn. I didn't realize how much I ate in a day until I looked at the list. I need to cut down on those delicious Luna bars LOL Maybe having two bars a day isn't such a good thing, and curse Pat and her Totino's pizza. Those are awful.
But I don't feel fat, and I don't feel like I've gained since summer started. My goal is to be a size 10 by my 38th birthday, which is on Sept. 26. I think that's a very reasonable goal. Ambitious, but not impossible.

It's Sunday, which is RECOVERY DAY! But of course, I got on Bertha early this morning and bicycled for 10 miles up and down our main street. I love biking on Sundays in my neighborhood because everyone's asleep, and the traffic isn't usually heavy. I've totally blown off the Biking for Biggies bike rides on Sunday mornings because no one showed that last time I came. I am NOT going to drive to Katy just to bike 10 miles by myself. I can do that here.
Yesterday I was on the Stairmaster for about 20 minutes. I said I'd try 30, but that machine is hard. I'm building stamina-mina. LOL
So, I'm doing well. My eating is OK, I'm drinking lots of water, and I plan to work out even when I'm in Chicago. I looked up the hotel where we're supposed to stay, and they have a fitness center. If I have that, wi-fi, and a place to do my laundry, I'll be fine. :)

I had to do the real stairmaster today. I sweated so much on that machine, but Angel said I was the only one who managed to stay on as long as I did. She said Leach jumped off after 3 minutes LOL I bet she cussed because I really did -- TWICE. I said "SH*T!!!!" everytime I stepped too far into it, and when it rotated, it would squish my feet. I didn't even want to let go of the rails to wipe my face. I was so intent on NOT FALLING. I don't know how many minutes I was tortured. I just know that secretly tomorrow, I'm going to go on that damn stairmaster and get stronger. It will NOT get the best of me.
I'm very proud of the fact that this summer, I have really strengthened my left knee. Imagine me in 2009, about 60 pounds heavier (that's 10 potato sacks according to Mr. Johnson). Everytime I went downstairs, I had to descend sideways. My knees HURT all the time. Forward to the present. I can now slap on a bar with 30 pounds on my shoulders and step on that platform and pull my knee up -- right AND left. And I don't care that I haven't really lost as much weight as I would have liked, but my knees are so much stronger, and that is priceless to me. I used to think I'd need knee replacements by the time I'm 50. I don't want to do that. It would be UNACCEPTABLE.
So STAIRMASTER, I don't care that you made me sweat and curse today. You will not win. I am going to climb you tomorrow for at least 30 minutes, or until I fall down into a sweaty, weepy heap. :)

I was very good today. Well, ok, MOST of today LOL
I had to work out at the sports complex with Angel and the other ladies at 7 a.m. That's way too early, considering we drove back from Dallas yesterday, and I'm recovering from all the salt I think I ingested while I was with Walter and Jeff. They had stuff like taco soup and peppered bacon. Need I say more?
There was also a new lady working out with Angel. Angel's warning to her was not to listen to whatever we told her about Angel. Of course, we couldn't resist messing with her. I always tell the new people: "She's nice to you... TODAY." LOL It's how we haze the newbies. She seemed fine until we stopped doing treadmill and started doing weights, and I think the heaviest weights Angel gave her were... (CACKLE) 5 POUNDS. The rest of us had 30 pounds. All of the sudden she says, "Angel, I think my body's in shock. I haven't exercised since last July." She ended up on the treadmill, walking lightly and keeping Ms. Hill company. The three of us continued to lift weights, but we kept getting caught with our chit chats, which Angel absolutely hates.
The new lady did really well, though. I think I wanted to cry my first day LOL
