I am very uncomfortable in my office chair at the moment. Actually, I am uncomfortable in my skin at the moment. As I write this online journal, I am always wondering where the line for too much information occurs, even though there are only a limited number of people that read this on a daily basis. So there is that “literary” discomfort, along with an actual “physical” discomfort that I am experiencing. Neither of these are going to be expounded on today. If you start coming across private entries, please understand that I’m just trying to work certain things out, and that the extra privacy will help me feel more comfortable working through it. Please don’t take offense if you come across one. Hopefully I’ll get to the point where I’m more comfortable with the topics, and they can eventually be opened.This week is turning into me attempting to squeeze five days of work and life into four and a half. Not a huge task, unless you’re working with one of the busier weeks you’ve had in a while, and then you start trying to figure out when you’ll sleep and all that other fun stuff. It got so confusing yesterday that I took a piece of paper and drew out a timeline for the week. I know they have computer programs for that type of thing, but this was an immediate need that I felt like needed to be handled in a hands-on kind of way. Either that, or just “kickin’ it old school”.
So far, the week is going off without a hitch. I got my cardio workout in yesterday morning, put in a long day at work, and then actually got in a quick spa session after work, thanks to Matt. He gave me a gift certificate for a visit for Valentine’s Day, but I guess I kept thinking that I’d save it for something special. Since no “something special” was coming anytime soon, I figured I’d give it a go. Without getting too much into it, part of why I’m feeling uncomfortable today is because of the visit. The time itself was good, and the folks at the spa were very friendly and helpful, but I’m reassessing whether this whole spa experience thing is for me.
This afternoon is my penultimate appointment with Dre, and I’ve got mixed feelings about it. The six-month transformation has been a success, and I’m feeling so much more confident about walking into the gym and actually knowing what’s what and where I’m going. Part of me would love to stick with him for another six weeks, because I don’t know if I’ll keep making these great strides working solo, but I’m to the point that if I stay right where I’m at and maintain, I really can’t complain.
My last session with Dre is on Thursday. There will be weights, measurements and pictures. No, the pictures won’t be posted. Maybe I’ll put the measurements up. I will post the final weight, though. As of this morning, I have three pounds to go, and I’m not expecting them to be gone by Thursday, but I’m close enough. And that’s…all right.
