Guys, the idea was that I'd say, "Hey, do we want one?" And you'd come back with, "Sure! Let's be Team Defense! Or Team Rockstars! Or Team Carrots!" And it would be easy because you'd do all the brainstorming. Let's try this again--the comments section is open.
Okay, okay. We can wait a week or two and blog lots and see what emerges in common or as a good joke between now and halfway. Surely by halfway we'll have some kind of obvious group identity, right?
In personal PCP news, I have to go to the tailor this weekend. My suits are no longer supportable officewear--more like incredibly baggy pajamas. When my coworkers have to watch me hauling up the waistband every time I stand up, it's a problem. Of course, even though that's a fantastic sign of progress, I'm not as thrilled about it as I should be. I want to know why, despite losing a size and a half, my carcass is still shrouded in so much fat. Jeez, what a mess I made of myself.
Anyway. The pure positive is that I'm seeing an exciting new thigh muscle struggling to emerge. That one that makes the sweet outer curve on the front. I first noticed it yesterday during the legs-up triceps dips and it was almost distracting enough to make the exercise less painful. It's still a proto-muscle, but I love it.
Oooh, awesome, muscles emerging! New clothes is a hassle. I may hit the thrift store here in the next few weeks. Maybe a good idea for you in this in between time.
ReplyDeleteI understand about clothes getting too big! It's thrilling because you can really see the difference, and it's also a hassle because nothing really works. And guess what -- you're going to need even SMALLER clothes in the next couple of months, so don't spend a lot of time or money on tailoring right now. Just do what needs to be done so you can get through the next month or so.
ReplyDeleteI also completely understand feeling like you have a long way to go. I still feel like I have a long way to go, even after finishing the 90 days. The only thing I can say is to focus on all the good things you're doing now, remember that it won't come off overnight, and don't waste time on self-recrimination. You will not believe the changes to come!
"the team with no name"
ReplyDeleteYeah as Tara said, you'll need a whole new set of clothes by the end so just do your best with the old stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe fat will go! Be patient and have kind feelings for it.
Team Carrot is FUNNY!
I also like team carrots (Ramiro).
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the muscle!! Maybe team emerging thighs? lol oh dear.. sorry to not have suggested a name, I feared my usual blurting out of corniness. Do I dare share? Here goes -- there are 4 of us so... Fantastic ____. I can't even write it -- too embarrassing! lol. (nat)
