SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo, week of March 22nd

Made it through spin class brilliantly.

Also, gave Steve Jobs all my money. When you switch from pc to mac, they practically throw you a parade. It didn't hurt that I bought two computers in under fifteen minutes. I'm grateful I was able to do that.

Discovered that my motherboard was fried in my old desk machine...but the tech guy was able to get most (not all) of my data. I thought I had lost my grade books, but found them after about an hour of frantic searching. Phew. . .I was panicking a bit. I had most of the stuff backed up, but hadn't backed up after I recorded their last assignment. That would have sucked.

The trainer who was going to do my assessment was sick today, so I had to reschedule that for Sunday. Just as well, as I was running late and forgot to pack my lunch.

Oh, and today I got another bursary (again, unexpected) making my new computers totally paid for. :noway: :bigsmile: I'm still trying to get stuff off of the old computer, but it's unbelievable that I made a scary purchase that ended up not scared at all. (Well, believable but very very cool.)

I was wondering where you went, Bobbie...life intervenes, huh? Sounds like you're doing well. MM, I'm so glad you caught the rat! I hope there is never ever another one. You already have enough stress/excitement without vermin!:flowerforyou:

I pouted for the rest of the day yesterday. I ordered (one) pizza and ate four pieces. Then I collapsed into some weird refined carb coma and slept for two hours. Then, after a shower, I watched movies and did laundry.

Today, however, I'm going to take my freakydeaky shoes to the elliptical and get some movement in. Either the fat goes or it stays, but I still want to feel my body working out. So there.

I realized upon further reflection that I was philosophically clashing with the assessment lady. The goal immediately encouraged was a number on the scale. (eww.) The love I've been working on with my body was maligned. ("ideally, you should be here." she said. My brain immediately thought..."nope. Ideally, I need to be where I am right now, and then later, if I'm somewhere else, that will be ideal, too.) and, she challenged my shoes (my pumas, not freakydeakies...she's not ready for freakydeakies). She also claimed to know what fibromyalgia was, but asked weird questions about it as if she didn't. Also, she had missed "arthritis" on my little survey form, and chastised me for not doing more weight bearing stuff...(um...Zumba is high impact, and my boxing workout contains a lot of plyometrics, so that's kind of covered.) So, blergh to her, from a place of love.

To thine own self be true, boogaloo.:flowerforyou:

Update: a half hour of elliptical + half hour of arc trainer, followed by stretching on this weird vibrating machine the gym has (a vibrating platform and lots of covered cables, so you can lean into supported/assisted stretching). I'm having some neck issues due to sinus issues. Wore my vibrams outside on the walk to and from the gym. Liberating. Sort of a combo between "whee...I feel six. And not caring that anybody thought my feet looked weird."

I've been thinking of that whole "ideal body fat/weight" crap. Here's the deal, during the winter olympics, I saw a lot of world class athletes with bodies that looked a lot like mine. So, it seems to me that people should be a bit more "every body is different...let's see where yours ends up." Also, how about a fitness goal rather than a dress size goal suggestion...I mean, really, what are we in high school? Shallowness, not a fan.
