the Vest

July 13th, 2007 at 05:18 am

Saving log - $3 tip box
Spending log - $1.84 coffee, milk + $15 chirashi lunch

Payday is tomorrow and I was up around $200, so in celebration I had the chirashi sushi lunch.

I was weighed today in gym. Still holding at 185, but I lost 1/2 inch on the hips and waist since Paris. Since I started, I've lost 7 inches on the hips and 7 around the waist. (We didn't have enough time to measure the rest.) My body fat dropped, so instead of simply losing 25 pounds, I've really lost 40 pounds of fat and gained 15 pounds of muscle.

The trainer asked me if I would indulge her in a demonstration. She, along with another trainer, helped me into a 40 pound vest. We took a stroll around the gym and went up the stairs. It all came back - the sluggishness, the shortness of breath, and while my joints didn't hurt they were unhappy. Actually, I was worse off then - I didn't have the extra 15 pounds of muscle to help me out. When they took the vest off I felt I could fly to the ceiling!

I'll have to remember this while I'm offered that next piece of cake.
