Oh. Yeah. The Dieting Thing
I've given up on the exercising until after ACTF in Ellensburg. What with classes and rehearsals and the run of the New Works Festival, I'm not going to the gym. It's not going to happen. I am, however, trying very hard to eat right, so I'm not giving up on everything. Just the gym thing. And that's only temporary. Until I can fit it into my schedule again. In March.
On the other hand, I walked downtown and back yesterday, with a backpack full of grading materials. (And on the way back, I had two more books and some groceries.) And I'm walking a lot on campus because of where I have to park and the distance from my office to the building where I teach. Plus, teaching? Exhausting. I can't think for most of Tuesday and Thursday, thanks to the two classes I teach from 9:30-12:15. That's got to be burning some calories.
Speaking of teaching, we had tech for New Works yesterday. And among the 20 people in that theatre were four former and three current students of mine. I felt vastly outnumbered. Mind you, I don't actually teach theatre classes, so it was even odder.
But you're not here for my drivelling on about my students and teaching. You're here for the numbers.
Starting Weight (June 2006): 186 lbs
Current Weight: 168.0 167.0 lbs
Short Term Goal: 150 lbs
Actually, I'm thinking about making 150 my long-term goal as well. If Tyra Banks can be 1-2 inches taller than I am and healthily weigh 161lbs, 150 is probably a good place to head. Mostly, though, I just want to be a size 10 again. And the last time I was there, I weighed 157 (and I was sexxay), so I may not need to get to 140 as I'd originally intended. We'll see.
In other weight/diet-related news (and may I just say, bless Tyra Banks for refusing to buy into the size 0 image), my friend Karma has posted her Dieting Constitution. She's hoping to get one person to sign on per day in February. It's a healthy approach to body image, and worth supporting.
