Almost a Year Has Gone By
Today, I have leg cramps. It was really hard getting through step class when my legs didn't want to move. I think I must make a lot of faces that reflect my agony. The instructor kept saying, "Just a little longer," while she was looking right at me.
It has been almost a full year since I started going to the gym. I began on June 15 last year. I looked at my before pictures yesterday, and I don't recognize the person in them. I'm not sure who that woman was, but that's not me anymore. She is old and obese. She looks tired and sad. I still look at little sad, but I've come a long way. I look 10 years younger. I feel 20 years younger. It doesn't pain me to walk up the steps anymore. I have more flexibility. I feel better than I did when I was 40.
No "crush" sighting today, but yesterday was pretty good. So that'll hold me over for a while.
I was on a dreaming marathon last night. I dreamed I was working as a chef and serving people all kinds of food. Then I became some kind agricultural researcher, and I was taking soil samples. I had these things that had a red flag on one end, and the other end was this thing that collected the samples. I had to throw it in the air, and then wherever it landed I took the sample. It was really odd. Somehow my nephew was involved, but I can't remember the dream in its entirety. My little flags were landing in some strange places, too, like at the top of a steep rock wall. I remember not being too worried about having to climb up and get them because I felt I was in good enough shape. Anyway, it was of those dreams that I didn't get to finish. The alarm went off first. Anyway. . . .
I don't know what else to say today, so I'll be off then.
