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.

woot! permalink

I've just had a triumph. Escape velocity!!!

My boss mentioned a seminar yesterday—would I be interested in going? Yes! And the more I thought about it, the more it was clear that I really wanted and needed to go to that seminar.

And then I ask my boss if I'm going, and he says it's sold out. Sold out?? But I need to attend it! So I ask if he minds if I try at the door tomorrow morning. And then as I'm checking online about it, I find a name and a phone number. So I call.

It's not the right person, but she's pretty sure it's not full, and she gives me another number. So I call that. And I'm assured it's not full, and just to come with $$ tomorrow morning. Yeah!

I am so excited!
...
Sometimes, I really get into pilates, but last night was not one of those nights. The entire 45 minutes was agonizing. We have Thursday night off, so I can look forward to going back in on Tuesday completely outta shape again, dammit.

But there is a bright spot. I can finally visualize my core, the layers of muscles contracting. I don't know about you, but I can't really do something like that without being able to visualize it. So it's a huge breakthrough.
