Where the streets have no name, can’t take my eyes off of ME!
Is it possible for a person to go through a physical transformation just from taking a nap?
I dozed off on the couch watching some 'Voyager', killing time before MJ gets here. His text to say he was leaving his office woke me up and I barely had the energy to get up and get ready. It’s still a bit sticky in here even though the weather was nice today. My couch traps heat as well and I wake up on it sweaty from naps summer or winter (which suddenly gives me a disgusting image of the bacteria content of the cushions). I decided a shower was in order.
As I de-clothed I went to put some music on iTunes, looked at myself in the mirror (because I am vain) and noticed something almost impossible. Certainly since I didn’t notice it yesterday. My love handles are almost completely gone. My midsection seems to have suddenly, and miraculously toned up. I didn’t exercise today, it’s my rest day. I didn’t really eat that much less.. I had a huge bowl of pasta for lunch and about three glasses of soymilk when I got home along with a fake chicken sandwich. All right before laying my fat ass on the couch, but I’ll be damned... I seriously look thinner than I have in years. I am totally shocked.
My gut.. it’s just not there anymore. It used to look somewhat this way when I’d consciously suck it in.. but I am not sucking in, and the gut is still not there... In fact, my stomach is tighter. Even when I relax it’s not hanging out anymore. And I can see that lovely little line in my skin from my hips down towards my crotch on both sides from the muscles I haven’t seen in so long I’ve forgotten their names. I can actually see the outlines of all the ab muscles on the sides and at the top of my stomach. I am not talking twisted steel and cut definition here. But, I can see them. I can’t believe it. I no longer round out above my hips.. I am almost completely vertical. I’m upgrading from a Sears Roebuck body to Express. On my way to Marshall Fields!
I weigh 168.8 right now. Almost consistently at the end of every afternoon I’ve always weighed 170 abouts (before a run).
I needed this. I was feeling so down and miserable today. At least something I am doing is paying off. Maybe prison or suicide aren’t my only two options. Heck, I might have to go out and find a puppy to hug and visit my parents just so I can kiss my mom. I thought I had plateaued. Maybe I just hit a fog patch on the way up. Still have that lazy evil eye though. I could barely focus on my laptop screen today my eyes were getting so bad. I am sure excessive boredom had a lot to do with it. If I can just get through the work part of this week, it could be a really good one...
There’s me being all positive and optimistic again. Shucks. Too bad work takes up like 80% of the week. I can’t wait to run tomorrow now. I feel so very good right now. It might explain the red, hive-looking spots on my chest. I might be allergic to goodness.
