It seems that the week I took off from exercise was just the thing to surprise my body. Actually, the thing that surprised my body was starting the workouts back up, because I've gone down 2 pounds in 2 days since I had that hard workout Tuesday. I broke below 240 pounds!
And then MFP offered to recalculate my calorie goals and now I only get 1240 calories per day! What a nice present for my loss (NOT).
It's been an emotional week because my problems with the firehouse are moving along. I got some nice perspective from taking last week off and was just about ready to start coming back when I talked to the old timer the other day. Well, he went to the board on my behalf (even though I asked him not to) and I got a phone call from the chief yesterday and spent hours talking to him. We talked about the jerk, but he also told me to not give the jerk the satisfaction of winning.
I found out later that the reason why all these people seem to care about my opinion is that they're concerned about liability. They're worried that I'll get so pissed off that I'll sue them for harassment. Yeah, some of them are jerks, but that's not the same as harassment. The thought never crossed my mind.
I've been trying to figure out how I feel about that, and how I should respond.
Here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to meditate. I'm going to let it go. I can't control these guys and the best thing I can do to control my reaction is to be peaceful about it and myself. This is a perfect time to use my newly learned skills to try and detach.
And then I'm going to work out hard again.
