Powerless.

No, this isn't another long, self-deprecating confession. I think we are both tired of those, yes? The power was out today, almost all day. It cut out just before I left this morning around 8 am and didn't come back until about midnight. We had some major windy weather that downed trees and power lines, and made absolute mayhem today. Trains were not running by the time I had parked and started walking to the station, but they started running not too long after that. Still, there was a delay from here to high heaven, and I didn't make it in to work until after 11 am. Shyikes! Power was still out when I talked to my roomie in the early evening - how the heck was I going to watch Lost? Solution! Watch it at the gym. So I went to the gym and had a pretty damn good workout while watching the best show on tv. Closed captioned, but whatever! Still good. I must have burned the day's calories. I spent 55 minutes on the elliptical, spun on the bike for another 10-12, started working the abs and then did more stuff to tone up the legs, mostly the thighs. I squeezed in a few pushups too, but I'm focusing more on the lower body because that is where I carry all my weight. I'm still conscious about losing any breast fat. I mean, damn, I have lazed so hard to get them to where they are! Of all the places to lose fat, that is the last place I need to lose it. I'm most concerned about strengthening my core and getting stronger. I don't care so much about the pounds, but I want to firm up. I will feel much better about my body image once I gain some muscle tone back. Of course, I was starving when I got home. Fortunately, we have a gas stove so I could still heat up food and boil water. I snarfed down some leftover chicken and veggies, and had a few guiltless jello snacks. I had boiled some water for cleaning up with, but the power came back on. Heh. I was prepared to go all Little House on the Prairie, but I'm happy to have power. I can blog! :)
