So this winter I was sick for something like three months and apparently lost a tidy sum of weight as a result. It was clearly bitter sweet. However, the pertinent part of this story is that my lovely friend girl K is getting married soon and I got fitted for a dress during this magical time of skinniness.
Then my thesis happened.
Then the dress came.
It fits.
Barely.
So....I'm back to working out regularly, which I was going to do anyway until I die, this is just good motivation. However, while I still love sweets and must remember that I should be eating Half if that of what my tall, skinny, buff 23 year old boyfriend eats, this is a story of triumph. I went to the gym today ,got on the treadmill and ran two miles continuously. I haven't run in years and am not at all built for it naturally so that was pretty cool. Grasping the little stuff.
Still must try not to eat cereal when I come home though.
You go Rachel!
ReplyDeletePut your hands in the air and yell da-da-ta-da! Like Nithya does.
ReplyDeleteI know I can't run 2 miles continuously. You were determined! And you're going to look fab no matter what, so don't you worry.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I hope you are feeling all the primary benefits: energy, strength, and flexibility. I find thinking about body shape is emotionally complicated, but thinking about how good I feel physically is simple and lasting. Way to go on the running, I know I'd pass out. ;)
