Having explained the situation, I might as well begin.
Pounds lost so far: 2
Current BMI: 27.7
This week has been great fitness-wise, though less fun in the sense of... fun. I haven't really gone out and done anything social, and I am not planning to tonight, either. Which is good, because I am drinking Diet Mountain Dew instead of beer, but kind of a shame anyway. I'll fix that by living it up tomorrow. A wise man always tells me you should drink liquor instead of beer when dieting, because you get more bang for the calories, especially since you have less in your stomach, so that's tomorrow's plan.
Anyway, this week's exercise: a log.
Monday: Nothing.
Tuesday: Krav Maga, because I had to miss last week. Worked my *ss off.
Wednesday: Walked dog, not far or fast. Really sore from Krav.
Thursday: Krav again, my regular class. I think this was the first time I really felt like I was getting the hang of the punches, and I was able to almost do all the push-ups, so it was a big day for me.
Friday: Really sore again. I like being sore, though, when it's this kind of sore. It just makes me feel good about myself, and like I am actually getting stronger. I signed up for a week's free trial at the local Giant Fitness Chain, so this next week is one week I'll have an easy time finding stuff to do, even if it never stops raining. I did the elliptical machine for 43 minutes (counting cool-down), went 4 miles, and burned (according to the (I'm sure) wildly inaccurate machine), 460 calories. Yay, me! Then I fiddled with the weight machines for a minute, trying to just reinforce some things I think get worked less in Krav Maga, and went home, where I walked the TempDog (a dog I am watching this week, but that doesn't really live with me for real) down to the grocery store to buy yogurt. I'm tired and energized all at the same time, and I'm loving it.
How could I forget how much I love really pushing myself? And how long will this joyful reunion with the joys of exercise last? Probably only 'til the next time I have to walk this dog and it's raining.

Go Hedgehog!
Does it help to know that people are reading your blog and rooting for you? If it makes you feel self-conscious or guilty, please ignore above comment.
(Whispers)Though that does sound like a rigorous schedule. Impressive.
Yay! I have readers! It absolutely helps to know that people are reading, and I am so excited that you are! Also, I am only being this rigorous because it's temporary- once my free week ends, I won't be hitting the gym and my workouts will be much less intense.
