No wonder I had to dig out my "fat pants" last night for rehearsal. I'm back up over 130 again, and that is not acceptable. A whole summer of not sticking to a workout schedule has left behind the results. It has to go ASAP.

I'm particular about my size. There is only one extremely narrow body fat percentage zone where I'm comfortable. I'm not the kind of person who can fluctuate by 20 pounds and not mind. When I'm above the zone I feel, look, and am miserable in my body (I've never been below that zone and don't aspire to). Right now I'm sitting at work stuffed into non-fat pants (because I can't wear jeans here and the fat pants are jeans). I find that fat actually hurts -- my skin hurts around the areas of greatest deposit. I hate this sensation. I was going to go watch the men's rehearsal tonight but I'm going to the gym instead.

oh, to be at 130! i dream of the day. well, you don't *look* miserable to the outside eye anyway.

i have found that TAF and improv are both pretty bad for my physical health. i don't exercise and i eat crappily because i'm hanging out and doing a lot of that hanging out at eateries like the evil and manipulative j.p. licks. EVIL!

anyways, what time are you going to the gym tonight? i have an improv rehearsal tonight, but i had entertained delusions of getting some exercise in between work and that, and it's always easier if you've got someone to go with . . .

Well, you're taller and bigger boned than me, so 130 would be too little for you to weigh. My ideal weight is around 124, and my fat collects all in the middle so it really shows on my small frame. A pound of human fat is the same size as a pound of butter. Something about that creeps me out.

I get out of work around 4:30 or 5:00 today, and I'll go after that right from work. Let me know if you'll be around then.

Where do y'all gym?

we both have memberships at bally's in porter. i discovered this when my monthy visit coincided with one of hers. :)

i'm not that much taller than you are and my bones are not that much bigger. 120 is actually my goal, but that may change as i get closer. i agree about the butter thing being creepy, though. ick.

so theoretically, i should get out of work around 5:30ish, though i'll probably end up stuck here until at least 6, because i've been totally unproductive. so i'll aim for being at the gym around 6:15. i'll only have half an hour to work out, but it's better than skipping out entirely.

now, onwards to productivity! no more lj for me today!

Ah well. I go to Healthworks and am always looking for more boxing recruits (not, not cardio kickbox).

I was very confused for a moment by the rest of that comment til I realized it was not directed at me. :)

aha, see i don't go in for that whole continuity of thought thing.

dude, boxing sounds wicked fun.

i would just like to respond to the comment where you say you look miserable when you are above the zone.

THAT IS CRAZY TALK, GIRL. STOP IT.

anyway, would you be interested in working out once a week together? having someone to meet there would be a real motivator for me. wed or thurs would be best for me . . .
