War of My Life
I never thought my blog would be inspired by the lyrics of John Mayer, but lo and behold, this song came on my Pandora during yesterday's elliptical session. Who am I kidding? I have a John Mayer Pandora station. Okay? The lyrics are pretty much what I was trying to write in one of my previous blog posts. Even on my best day, it is a battle. I am fighting, and it sometimes feels gritty-like tooth and nail kind of gritty. It is a fight in the sense that I know I am going to win. Have to. But my diabetes puts up a fight. My sub-conscience lures me not to test, and gives a littany of reasons not to. But I'm taking John's advice--I'm going to fight until I die.
I report my activity minutes every week for the Biggest Loser challenge, and this week I reported 330 activity minutes!!!! Holy shit. I wouldn't normally swear on my own blog, but seriously. Seriously. That averages 45 min/day, every day. So, I would say that I am waging war, and winning.
I bought jeans today. I bought a size smaller. It was awesome.
I went to the best place ever today--a local vintage clothing shop downtown. I have never had a shopping experience that I could say I loved, until today. I am always just picking the lesser of the two ill-fitting pants, or the top that makes me look like a floosie the least. But clothing that is actually tailored to fit? And a business woman who cares about her clients, and genuinely loves what she does? That is what happened to me today, and I walked out with a steal of a 60's dress, and a hitch in my stylish step. So, the lessons from today's post: Keep fighting and buy vintage.

I was so impressed when I saw your activity points. It kind of inspired me since I never get any activity points in. :o) I can't tell you how happy I am about your shopping experience!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy! I couldn't believe my activity mintues, either. I just kept wanting to exercise. Weird!
