Finally an upbeat journal for y'all (thank you so much for your support everyone!)
So I had a physical fitness test today (part of my grade) and woah cool! I haven't weighed myself in months (since November I think) and I have lost a grand total of 24 lbs! Also in most categories I am "fit" (in a scale of "needs work", "fair", "fit", and "excellent")... some of them (bicep strength, curl-up test, some other one) I am "excellent"!
This makes me happy... especially because usually (when I was anorexic really) I used to make goals and when I came close to 90% done (like I am now) I would 'settle' and quit. But I don't have that option (because I would fail class) AND I don't want to! I want more more more!
I am noticing my strength in little ways now, like I can run up and down the stairs 5 times in a row and not get winded, I can run 3 blocks to catch up with someone (so I guess technically it's sprinting) without having to rest and it takes me much less time to catch my breath.. I can carry a lot more and I am generally in a happier disposition.
I am noticing my.. slimingness? slimness? in more ways now too.. a lot of my clothes are getting pretty baggy (will have to upgrade (downgrade?) pretty soon.. I'm noticing flat areas and pointy areas which were rounded before, I can see my muscles move under the skin of my arm without flexing.. it's all pretty much kick ass! Looking back at old pictures I can really see a huge difference in my face too.
I feel like I'm nowhere near done (in a good way).. I mean that I enjoy working out, I really like exercising and being active.. also I finally feel I'm not letting down the people around me because they have to slow down for my sake (the whole reason I decided to quit slacking was because I was the slowest one on a hike and I couldn't do something that everyone else wanted to do.. and let me tell you.. that did not feel good).
Think this journal entry could use more """"" or >.....??? punctuation? or Punk-tuation?
Here's an xmas joke I made up in time for the holidays:
What do you call a ring of $100 bills?
A wreath of franklins! (maybe read it outloud..) (k now faster)
