about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

I'm not sure what got into me this morning, as we stayed up late watching the extras from the They Might Be Giants documentary, Gigantic, but I walked into work. 3 miles. My neighbor was out so I leisurely chatted with him after I had started the timer. So, the timer reads 50 minutes, which is usually how long it takes me. I was in zone, however, 43 minutes, which is probably closer to how long it took me today. Wuhoo! That's a big improvement. (This is frightening. The phrase "in the zone" has started a loop of Britney Spears in my head. I am so in hell) And, I felt great. Like I could walk forever.

I weighed in at the gym: 239. I made the goal! So the next weigh-in will be December 6, with a goal of 236.

I suppose I should worry about if I'll make that in the next two weeks, what with Thanksgiving and the mini-trip to Seattle, but I'm not worried, really. I don't get it. I've been eating and drinking bad things like pizza and beer and a burrito—hell, yesterday, I ate a donut. I have been trying to eat more veggies, beans, fruit, yogurt, nuts. I don't get it. Oh well.

congratulations on the weight loss, VJ. And I know what you mean about britney spears...as soon as I read "zone" that was it for me.

Thank you Chrissie. Hopefully there is more to come!

Isn't it awful about that song? I don't even know any other of the words, or the rest of the tune or anything. Ack, must iPod now to cleanse brain of Britney!
