If you're a large woman in America, your whole life us an opportunity to feel self-conscious,embarrassed, resentful and way too big. you can hide in the corner or in the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

limbo

My deadline has come and gone, and I am still feverishly working. Sigh. I'm not letting myself really think about the future—of anything—until I get this done.

So, yesterday I went to a Pilates class. First time I've done a gym group class, first time I've done anything like pilates, and boy, did it kick my ass. I expected to be in real pain today, but I'm just achey in places—and strangely enough, not in my stomach. I may try the spinning class today, depending on my stress level. (now that oughta really hurt!)

This morning, I did the cross-country ski machine, my old favorite for getting my ass kicked. I get all caught up in watching all the numbers—goal rate versus actual speed, distance, calories burned, time—that the time always flies.

I want to think about goals. I want to figure out when I can see my mom. I want to get some perspective on what's up for the next year at work. I gotta come up for air soon.
