I stepped on the scale twice this morning. The low is now 178.0. *dances*
Also, I downloaded a ten-day pass and 2 personal training sessions pass for a 24-hour fitness, and they called me last night to schedule an appointment. I'm meeting with a guy at 7:30 tonight. I have, like, zero money right now, though, so I doubt that I'll pony up for a membership at the moment...unless they waive the enrollment fee. Which I think they should, since I was basically donating $40/month to them for 2 years before I cancelled last time. And they still have my name and stuff in their database, so reinstating my membership is probably a matter of checking the "active" box. I'm really not relishing the thought of paying $100 for that. We'll see how much negotiating room I have.
Here's what's weird, though. Rob downloaded the same 10-day pass from the same 24-hour fitness, and no one called him. Both times I have done this, someone's called me the same day to try to schedule an appointment. Why do they call me, but don't call him? Do they look at my history and go, "hoo, yeah. She's never going to use it! Better strike before she loses interest again!"
Really, I am interested in a membership if I can get a good deal, but I'm more looking forward to the introductory personal training session. They do a body fat test and whatnot, and I'm curious to see what that looks like now. I still have paperwork from the last time I had a personal trainer, and it'll be interesting to see what the difference is between then and now (around 4 years ago, I was around 205 and in serious denial about my diet--I thought exercise was my answer. I lost about 1 lb. in 6 weeks).
After work and before that appt, I need to pick up Rob's bike from the shop, and drop off mine. Probably not at the same place, though, because I'm pissed that they didn't call me when Rob's was ready. I could have picked it up two days ago, I guess, but I was waiting on a call. Bastards.
How weird is it (to me anyway) that I'm looking forward to the running workout today? You know, I had heard about that whole "runner's high" thing, but I never believed that I would feel any different after running than I did after walking...but I do. I don't even run for very long or very fast, but I just feel better after running than I ever did after a walk, even a brisk one.
As for my joints, my hips seem to be fine, and my right knee complains more quietly now. It seems that I'm toughening up. However, I'm still having trouble with the breathing, which is majorly annoying. It's totally my fault, of course, since I forget to do the advair and I hate that albuterol inhaler. If I'd just take the medicine, I'm sure my breathing would go right back to normal. As it stands, though, I get about one good yawn in per day, and I have to straighten my arms, lean to the left, and concentrate to take a deeper breath every so often when I'm working out. I suppose I should see the doctor again, but I've already got everything they're going to give me for it. So why spend the $40?
Speaking of the doctor, it's getting about time for the yearly exam. I really should schedule it, because my cycle is getting progressively longer without the BC pills. I thought maybe losing these 20 or so lbs. since my last checkup would be enough to kick my body back into gear, but apparently not. I had three periods around 6 weeks apart, and now we're at 7 weeks and counting. I've had the PMS-y symptoms for the last week, but nothing has been forthcoming. I'm not pregnant (home test), so I suppose the PCOS is making itself known again. Dammit. Oh well, I should have known it wasn't going to go away this easily.
Well, enough blathering...I'm off to get some lunch.
