last night i had a nap at 9:00. i was kind of sleepy and thought i'd just shut my eyes in my cozy bed for a few minutes. at 11:30 brendan convinced me to get up and change into my pjs. it was a lovely long night's sleep. i was kind of disappointed because it's my only evening this week that i had no plans. i wanted to do some around-the-house things like read, or watch tv on the netbook. but i suppose sleeping is important too.
yesterday i did this fitness test at the gym. i'm kicking myself because i should've known there were strings attached :S the girl was very nice, and i found her helpful, but at the end of our session she presented me with a package for 112 sessions. i politely asked how much that would cost and she did the math then presented me with the sum of $6,875.00. i didn't really know what to say. i can't imagine that there is anyone in kingston that would be able to, or even choose to, spend over $6,000 on a trainer. imagine what that kind of money could be spent on! oh well, i'll just have to stick with what i'm doing. it was helpful to know that i have no upper body strength, i'll try to develop that a little so i'm more balanced.
beside all that i was quite encouraged after my session because i discovered that i'd lost 6 pounds!! hooray! or so i thought. i was also given my fat % which i thought had gone down, but unfortunately when i looked in my food journal today to compare figures i discovered it had gone up. after doing some math this morning i found that my number of fat pounds haven't less at all, which means the weight lost was muscle not fat, which is bad :S to be honest i was surprised that i'd lost weight, i actually thought that i'd remained the same, if not put some on despite of my low cal diet. so discovering that i've lost muscle doesn't surprise me. it's super annoying, but not surprising, since sheding my pounds has been quite the challenge. all this being said... i need to increase my food intake. i must not be consuming enough and therefore my body is using the stored energy in my muscle.
blah blah blah, this is all very boring. i wish this was not the story of my life at the moment. i know i have the tools within me to figure this stuff out (the girl even said "you're not new at this" and acknowledged my past experience as worthwhile. she affirmed me, i'm definitely moving in the right direction). right now i feels like i'm one step forward, two steps back, but i'm sure it will get better. i'll build momentum and eventually it will be like running down a hill - fun and exhilarating.
i hate it when people use my pencils and then walk away with them. for some reason i get very attached my pencils, more then my pens. pencils are much more specific - their weight, they're feel, their length are all important. someone stole my pencil, but i don't want to be petty by going to ask for it it back :S as a result i went to the supply cabinet and selected two new ones, but to be honest, i don't like either of them. and i feel resentment towards them....

A pencil lover, eh? Sounds like you might be a candidate for http://www.penciltalk.org/. Next time you drop by, remind me and I'll give you one of my Lamy pencils.
Lesley we should get you pencils with your name on them.
