Fast Forward on the Fast Track

Weight: 218.6 lbs.

After going to bed after midnight because I was busy playing scrabble on my new laptop, I woke bright and early buzzing with energy. How early? Try 4:12 a.m. Something is seriously wrong with me! I didn’t actually get up, but pondered life until about 5:45, and then got up with Tom who woke before his 6 am alarm went off, so that he could head to 7 am mass.

We had to get an early start (although not THIS early!) as we are picking up our old friend, Rose at 10:30 and spending the day with her. We also have errands to run enroute. And, I must read the paper and do usual Sunday morning fussing first! Can you tell that I am wired?

Today should be a very interesting day catching up with someone neither of us has seen for about 25 years. Rose was a part of Tom’s and my early life together when I was the head of an animal rights group, and Tom and his then wife were members along with Rose and her sister. We were all very close, but lost touch for years. I’m sure that we will have much to catch up on today, along with enjoying the benefit where we will also see newer friends, bid on things, and eat.

We are heading to Danny’s for lunch along the way, and hopefully this will suit for Rose’s vegetarian diet and also allow me to stay on track.

I have already worked out this morning and hope to stay focused on healthy living. If there is time, we also plan to go shopping so I can buy new, smaller sized underwear as I am floating in my current ones. I caught an episode of What Not To Wear last night, and found myself to be shockingly similar to a woman named Bailey, who had lost nearly 70 lbs., yet continued to wear her original sized clothes out of comfort, familiarity and a distorted sense of self/sizes. Once dressed properly after given a great deal of help and moral support to change, she did look amazing and helped me get a new appreciation for the concept of clothes making or breaking a person. That having been said, I haven’t dressed yet for todays reunion, and only hope that I have something even remotely flattering to wear. As it is, I expect that I am sizes bigger than when Rose last saw me in my twenties, and expect to be rather self conscious about this.

Well, I’d better get dressing and prepping for the long day ahead. Should make for interesting press tomorrow!
