Ever since I was young one of my things for comfort has been to hide out near a heat register while the furnace was running. The best is when I have a sheet positioned just right to make a little hot air bubble with me in the middle of it. I need a nice little hot air bubble right now. I am freezing cold and having a really rather not great day.
But thankfully despite my PMS making my brain jump to the worst possible outcomes and then blowing them up massively out of proportion to their true importance I think I am am perhaps through the very worst of it. I thought for a while today that I was going to lose all of the data and information I had entered into the WW system and was having a very difficult time getting in touch with anyone. But thankfully all was figured out and nothing was lost. Whew because I wasn't looking forward to how that would change how I am doing things (as I would have had to enact a boycott ;-).

November pics
Well here are the comparative pictures for November - better late than never I guess! As always click the pic to see a full size view of the picture.
I got such a boost today, I admit I am a total compliment hound and love getting them. Well today at pilates class one of the women I take class with told me that my legs have gotten a lot trimmer since the summer. That really made my day. I admit I had been thinking lately that I was pretty happy with how my legs have been shaping up, during some of the things in my fitness classes I think they look pretty good!
But it wasn't all happy news today, I forgot that I had an appointment today and so I had to miss my piloxing class today - boooooooooooooooo to that I say. Especially since this morning I woke up with the piloxing song running through my brain and it wouldn't let me go back to sleep even though I really wanted to. It was a sad day for that! But thankfully I get to make it up on Saturday (since this Saturday I don't have a class to run).

The Great Cookie Crisis of November 2011
Thought I would post this here as well as on the WW site. And of course the meteor theme is a nod to the meteorite that passed nice and close to earth yesterday.
Thankfully this crisis was pretty much averted - the cookies just skimmed me instead of slamming in like a giant meteorite the size of Texas. And here is the story of the crisis that almost was:
In the morning, the cold, frosty, snow covered morning I prepared to leave for my Pilates followed by Essentrics double shot workout. And I was looking forward to it. Then as I prepared to go I could not find my toque (and I find I am feeling the cold outside even more now than I have in the past - probably due to the reduced padding!). And I knew I left my spare at work the other day. So I phoned the husband to see if he "organized" it away to a different location, only to discover that he had worn it. This despite the presence of his own goofy teddybear covered old fashioned sleeping hat style one sitting right there. Now despite the entire and complete goofiness of his I considered wearing it, until I realized it just reeked of cigarette smoke. So in the end I used a second scarf and wrapped it around my head like a babushka.
Sadly the scarf left me with one rather cold ear! And I found myself wanting to steal the very warm earflap style hat one kid on the bus had. But alas my style does not run to bullying and stealing from children, so I had to settle with what I had!
Mostly I was okay with all of this for the rest of the day as I had treated myself to a nice warming bowl of tom yum soup at lunch time.
But, having had enough workout and walking in my heavy winter boots I had thought to opt for a ride home. But alas no answer when I called, so on went the scarf and along I trudged. Only to arrive home to a husband, sound asleep and a tummy rumbling with hungry. I had been hoping that some plans for supper might be in the works when I arrived.
So I sat and thought about stuffing my face with all that was left in the cookie bag (oh probably only 15 cookies or so since thankfully the bag was not actually full). But then a flash of brilliance startled me, actually it was just the light from my computer monitor when I turned it on, but there the answer was right in front of me. I posted a note about my desire to revenge myself on my hubby and his toque stealing ways by eating a whole bunch of cookies. Boy wouldn't that just show him LOL. Sometimes the mind is a wonderful landscape of the irrational!
The support rolled in, including a wonderful suggestion to starch his shorts which made me laugh - now if I just actually had any idea of how to do that I might just consider it! Thanks to all the words of encouragement I was able to avoid the cookies at the height of my irrationality!
Now this is not to say that I had no cookies, I had my 2 "dessert" cookies a little later as I was trying to find something to make for supper (it was cook something bold day yesterday apparently so I thought I should make something bold!). So while eating a couple cookies while preparing for supper is not a fantastic choice, it wasn't the full meteor strike bag full (and for that matter it wasn't the walk to the store and buy 2 family size bags of chips and a couple large chocolate bars meteor strike it might have been in the past).
So thanks to all those who helped me dodge that cookie shaped meteor!

As you can see I have it packed in pretty good over the next several weeks. Really needed to get things back to a higher level and so glad I will have the chance to do so before the session is over! Am going to be working on also getting in some time at home, renewing my commitment to getting up in the mornings and doing at least a short workout. I think Sundays are going to be the main day at home for working out and then once I am free again on Saturdays I will try to get them into the rotation.
I am really looking forward to the jumpstart classes since it gives me a nice chance to get back on the equipment at the studio. I really miss that part of things it is just so different yet it has the same great mind/body connection, just feels more strength building to me.
I am even looking forward to doing a few beginner mat classes. I was having a hard time figuring out how to fit my classes in but then I thought, hey they will be late in the beginner session so it will have enough going on to be interesting. Plus it will give me time to work on some of my basics where I need to work on them. It never hurts to get back to them and explore the basics with a different mindset. And it will actually be a different instructor as well so that should be quite interesting too.
Yay for just about 2 months worth of extra hard work!
Also I will be posting new pics, but I have decided to change what I am wearing so I can see continuing progress. But I tried to take the pics and need to adjust my positioning as they didn't turn out well. Will hopefully get the pics taken tomorrow and posted the day after. In case there is anyone out there who cares to see them!
