Stalls suck, Washington state, Motorcycles & random thoughts

Jun 30, 2010

  I have been in a stall now for several weeks, even gained a pound. I know it will not last, but still is annoying. I have not been tracking my food as well as I should, but I have been keeping track in a general way. I guess i just need to get my ass to the gym and make some time to work out instead of screwing around.
 Since coming up to Washington to visit,  I have been hanging out with my Kids and my friends and not going for my walks or working out. I have been doing quite a bit though. I feel like I am going all day long. I still get tired really easily. I want to take a nap right now. Matter of fact I may just do that when I am done here. I got up at freaking 4 am. I don't know why I have to wake up before dawn. I can go to bed at 8pm or at midnight and I wake up at the butt crack of dawn.
  I am losing inches I think. My new jeans are a bit loose in places. I really like one pair I bought at the thrift store. My waist is tiny, I need to lose a bit more in my stomach. I am not unhappy where I am, even though I would like to lose a bit more.
  Washington state is freaking cold after Arizona. I swear they have the coldest summer this year! It has been in the 60's most of the time I have been here. I have to wear sweatshirts all the time and am wishing I had a coat! I hate to say it, but I am almost ready to go back to AZ.
  I found another motorcycle I had to have. Like I need another one. I had wanted to bring 2 of my bikes up here with me, but I was not able to get a trailer hitch put on my car before I left. I found this Kawasaki Vulcan 750 for sale up here really cheap. I bought the damn thing. I have two 1400 intruders up here in my Mom's backyard I need to work on. I went to my oldest sons house Monday and worked on My little KZ 305 I have over there so my son can ride it. It is running great now. I don't know why I feel the need to collect motorcycles. I have way too many now. Oh well, shit happens I guess.
  Then there are the clothes. Suddenly I care how I dress. I have not really cared for years. Now I do. I care how the clothes fit where before I just cared if I could get them on. I don't want to wear anything too big now. I had a lot of over sized tee shirts before that I wore, now they have to fit right or I throw them out. I ask my 19 yr old daughter if what I am wearing looks alright.  My daughter dresses me up all the time lol. We are going to The Rocky Horror picture show on the third, we are even dressing up lol.
  My friends are all amazed at the difference in me. They all give me a bad time and call me tiny and slim. Funny thing is, most of my friends have gained weight! It is weird to me that now I am smaller than most of my friends.
  I am starting to get a bit stronger this last week. I have been sick so long, it is nice to be able to have some energy. I have been going out to friends and going shopping. I had one bad day since I got here, I slept on and off all day, but I have felt OK most of the time. I still don't feel great, but I am happy with feeling OK. It is better than feeling like crap.
  So for the rest of the week, I am going to try to track my food better, get more exercise, drink more water and get more sleep. I will try to slip in some good friends, family and fun. I hope you all find some fun this week!
Summer
