Massage Please?

SOOO tired and sore!  I'm plopped down in my living room and I swear I barely have the strength to type this post!  Yesterday was pilates, and I also hit the treadmill for about a half hour after to try and get just a little cardio in.  Today was cardio with Jami, and we ended up walking a little over 6 miles.  SIX miles!! For me, that's a LOT! And I'm tired! Doesn't help that I was up with Luke 6 times last night (6 must be the number of the day, haha;).  I'm glad though that we did it, it was pouring earlier today and I was afraid I wasn't going to get it in today.  Thankfully it cleared up enough to still get out (even if we did get hit with a few sprinkles here and there).

So before we started pilates Sunday Jami took me over to this machine to get weighed.  Aaron wanted to get a starting point (and frankly so do I).  But it's not just a scale, you get on it barefoot and hold these handles and it measures not just your weight but your lean muscle mass and your visceral fat (fat around your organs, etc.).  I don't have the printout of it yet but I could see the screen while it was computing everything and it wasn't pretty.  BMI is currently about 42, and all the graphs showed 'over' when it was measuring fat by arms/legs/trunk, etc..  I mean, I'm not surprised but it's sobering to see that when you've already lost over 30 pounds.  I did my own computing of BMI and it was 47 when I was at 261 so I guess I need to just be proud of that and move on.  I'm going in the right direction!  About 8 more pounds and I'll be under 40 BMI for the first time in I can't even recall how long. 

I follow a girl on facebook who has lost about 70 pounds (Amanda Tyson for those interested).  I'm not too clear on her back story but I believe she initially tried out for The Biggest Loser and ended up not getting on the show, but she proceeded to lose the weight on her own.  She's pretty awesome and has a lot of motivational things to say.  Well, her birthday is coming up and she posted a list of things that she had wanted to accomplish before the day came.  It got me thinking.  I had figured a while back that it would be awesome if I could be down a total of 100 pounds by my 33rd birthday.  Considering what I've already lost that would equate to about 5 pounds per month until then.  Totally doable.  However I'm not putting that pressure on myself.  That's a great goal, and if I hit it then that will be one hell of a birthday party, but if I don't, no biggie;)  I loved her list idea though...I think I'm going to come up with something like that.  Hers had cool stuff like "visit Texas" and "bike a mountain in CA" (she obviously gets around a bit more than I do!).  I'm going to think on it a bit and come up with something.  Hopefully it will have more on it then just "Get the house clean" and "Take a shower in peace". haha ;)
