Week 1 Wrap Up

Today’s Weight: 162.4 (which puts me down .2 lbs from last Friday)

Today’s Measurements:

  • Waist: 29.5″ (same)
  • Hips: 40″ (same)
  • Thigh: 24″ (.5″ larger)
  • Belly: 36.5″ (.5″ larger)
  • Upper Arm: 12″ (same)

I’m going to assume that the increase in my belly is period bloat, and on my thighs is from building muscle in Bikram class.  Otherwise, I’m going to assume that I made errors in measuring.  I do wish that I were a little more than .2 lbs less than last week, but between the weight gain from womanly issues and that bag of potato chips and missed Bikram class the other day, I’m just glad I don’t weigh more than I did a week ago.  I’m betting that by this time next week, I’ll be 159 solid.

Today I’m planning to head out to a literary event with a friend in the evening, so I won’t be going to Bikram.  However, I’ve decided that I’m going to do a double class tomorrow, and then see how I feel and maybe do a double class on Sunday, too.  If I can make that happen, it will catch me up and I’ll be back on track to get 30 classes done in 30 days.  We’ll see!

Hello,

I’m Nova

I have no “personal brand.” I’m not a girl boss, I’m not an influencer, and I don’t aspire to be powerful, inspiring, or rich. I probably can’t teach you anything, and there’s a good chance that there’s nothing at all of interest or use to you here. This is just where I come to talk about the random bits and pieces that make up my quiet life as a sober woman in her 40s. I’m engaged to the love of my life, have six (yes, SIX) indoor pets, and spend a lot of time gardening and hunting for thrift treasures. I also study classical voice (I’m a lyric coloratura soprano) and am deeply interested in all things spiritual and paranormal. Right now I’m trying to recover from career burnout and even out my personal energy, but my eventual goal is to become a medium and shamanic healer, using music to remind humans of the things that actually matter: connection, community, and loving all living things as though they were our own children. I may or may not talk about all of these things here (and sometimes all at once). Welcome!
