Word for the Day – Sizzling

Yes, Sizzling will do.  We peaked at 108 degrees yesterday.  I’m quickly approaching my annual breaking point where I start ranting about packing up and moving to Maine.
Well, Chickies, yesterday’s adventure into health and well-being included a visit to the Y.  I actually visit the Y regularly, but for the first time yesterday I cautiously stepped  boldly tripped over the threshold into the new workout room and participated in the Body Pump class!!  Really.  I tripped on the way in the door.  Thank goodness I was a few minutes early so only the teacher and a few others witnessed my amazing display of grace and dexterity. 
ANYway, the class was great!  A lot of fun, and I think I got a decent workout, since my arms felt like jelly as I successfully navigated my way out of the room.

Unfortunate Side Effects…

Hey Chickies!  Did you know that there is an unfortunate side effect of really working hard at being fit?  Of losing a significant number of pounds?  One very specific side effect?  It’s, uh, um…well….*sigh*  I’ll just come right out and say it. 

Loss of boobage.
Seriously.

I had to buy new bras today. One band size and two cup sizes smaller.  Of course, I’m not too sad to leave the triple letters, since I may be able to actually wear a button down shirt someday.

Hot and Hotter

Hello, Chickies!

Am I whining again?  You bet your britches.  Or not, if you have issues over wandering the streets pantless.  Because I AM.  I AM whining. I AM, I AM, said Sam I Am.
It is hot.  Hot beyond hot.  Miserable hot that fries your brain cells the moment you step outdoors.  And I don’t want to hear any fluff about “humidity” or the “feel-like-it” temperature.  The regular temperature, which just happens to be ONE HUNDRED SIX degrees farenheit today, is bad enough – thank you very much.
*sigh* as she relishes the moment of pity from her adoring readers.
Rant over!  That was the hot part.  Hotter, you must be wondering?  ME!  I’m on fire! I’ve resorted to walking indoors, and I’m loving it.  Air Conditioning makes it so very easy to crank out 2.5 miles in 30 minutes.  My clothes continue to get bigger.  I conquered the plateau. Jumped right over the edge!  (See progress charts at left.)  I actually walked away from pizza on Friday evening.  Walked Away, I tell you!  WALKED AWAY!
