Weight Loss

I feel like I really haven't done enough today, but that's because I have a plan. I finished my Con Law mini-outline, which wound up being pretty long. Probably has something to do with the fact that I never quite understood Con Law while in law school. While I am a Crim savant, my Con Law essay attempts leave much to be desired. Here's hoping for a 7 on the Crim essay!

I just got back from the gym and then I'm going to pack up my stuff and see if it is possible to hole up in the school for 2 days without a) going crazy and/or b) getting my car towed. I just can't stay at home this weekend with my roommates rattling around and expect to get anything done.

Stress is good for my workout. I broke my record again: 32 in 13:30. And despite doing nothing but sitting on my butt and swimming for 45 minutes a few times a week for the past 7 weeks, I've lost 2 more pounds. And now I can share that I am officially under 190 (because I was too embarrassed before, but my sense of shame in the blogworld is pretty much non-existent at this point). I know that still sounds pretty heavy, right? Well it is. But there are extenuating circumstances.

First, I've been swimming since I was 6 and my legs are basically big heavy trunks of muscle. Oh sure, right now there's cellulite on my thighs, but you know the weight machines where you push out with your thighs and squeeze in with your thighs? I can do 90 pounds+ on those like it's nothing.

Second, due to the muscle thing and being a pear, I usually look about 20 pounds lighter than I am. When I was 200 the few people I shared that fact with were like, "Nuh-uh!" According to those weight/height charts, I'm supposed to be around 130. I was 130 once after surgery and I looked awful! I'm shooting for 150-160. So I still have 29-39 pounds to lose. However, I've lost 41 pounds to date. Hurrah!
