holy moly!

i stepped on a scale last night for the first time in about 5 months. i couldn't believe my eyes. so much so that i weighed myself again this morning after dropping some kids off at the pool and peeing like seabiscuit - but alas, no change. so how much do i weigh? let's just say, if i was a boxer, i'd have to fight in the light HEAVYWEIGHT division.

ignorance sure is bliss! but that's the thing. i don't FEEL heavy. i don't feel groggy or like i've put on a few pounds. shirts & pants don't feel any tighter than they did 5 months ago. and i definitely don't look in the mirror in the morning thinking: 'ew... gross'. (that doesn't mean i look in the mirror making kissy faces and growling at myself either!)
i wish i could use the excuse of maybe having put on some more muscle. but that won't work either. i haven't been to the gym to push weights on a regular basis since undergrad!
meh. i'd set some goals to lose this excess baggage but it would just be unrealistic at this time of the year. especially not with exams in 2 weeks. post exams. will come up with something post-exams.

it's gray and cool outside. a perfect day to roll up in a blanket with a book & some hot choco?
no. not quite. it's actually a perfect day to study! seriously.
