I've been torturing myself for - god is it ONLY three days now??? it seemed like YEARS! - 3 days and I have to say that sitting in front of the computer, vegetating, is looking even better these days. *sigh* I'm at that stage of sore where my calves constantly feel as if they're on the verge of cramping. This, too, shall pass and then I won't be a bundle of hurt but until I reach that happy Zen place, I'm a hurting girl. :)

The personal trainer is probably going to be necessary to keep me from quitting but for now we're doing the, "evaluate precisely how out of shape" I am. Which is, not surprisingly, a LOT. I guess it's a good thing that I can achieve my target heart rate so *quickly*? It means I start the clock on my "maximum effectiveness" workout that much sooner and am done that much sooner. I forgot to inquire about hair follicle workouts, though. I am *determined* to show up in NJ this year with an even bigger head than ever because I know how much the two, er, people behind me love my hair. ;-)

I think we should have a ritual burning of the Flat Stanley this year.
