In light of my recent negativity, I thought I would try to identify some of the positive experiences I'm having because of the PCP. So here we go, in no particular order:
1. I can see lines in my abs where I used to see rolls in my abs.
2. The exercise has proven to be an incredibly useful outlet for my stress surrounding our adoption woes. In fact the whole thing - even being pissed off at my diet from time to time - is just a good general distraction from stress.
3. I stretch everyday.
4. I am pretty sure my posture is better.
5. I signed up for the Ottawa half marathon (which is next May) ALREADY. This will be my third one in 5 years and the first one I will run in the "over 40" age group. I will also (confidently) say that it will be my fastest. I usually wait until the last possible moment to sign up. This time I kind of feel like "bring it on."
6. I like my coffee with skim milk now, and probably won't go back to cream.
7. I bought new jeans on Monday and they were a size smaller than usual.
OK. That's all I got. Thanks for all your kind comments yesterday. It seems that the middle part is hard, isn't it? But doesn't it kind of feel like we just started yesterday? So on day 85 we'll be saying wow, day 42 felt like yesterday! Right?
I'm with you on the ab definition, its a terrific feeling. Great to see all these positive things!
