Apres Ski

Two days of skiing... oh my Lord, I am tired!!

Day one was obnoxiously windy and some of the lifts were closed. That was super annoying, half the mountain was out of reach. But the parts we did do were fun. Well, they would have been funner if it weren't for the wind :P I had this funny thought that maybe if I got real skinny, the next time I go skiing in the wind like that I might get stopped dead in my tracks by the wind. It happens to small kids and skinny girls, and you never know, it might happen to me hahaha. I hope that happens some day. And I'd probably look real cute in my skinny-people ski stuff. All tight and tiny. I wish! right now I look like the fucking michellan tire guy. For real, I'm huge and white and puffy. I'm surprised no one mistook me for him yet.

Second day was better. It was nice and warm and the wind was gone. It was beautiful! We could see the view from the top, and without all the clouds it looked like you could see to the end of the Earth. I could identify Lake Placid, Whiteface (where I went on vacation last year and where the 1980 Olympics were held), and Smuggler's Notch. It's strange seeing all the way to another state without any markers. You could see Canada too, a whole other country. There's no red lines or signs, it's just one continuous landscape. It's nice to know that from way up there, none of this stuff really matters. it's perspective, you know?

I did well on calories today and yesterday, around 1100 each. it's way over the SGD limit, but they're both still negative days. I burned a whole lot of calories, even when I halved the hours. my muscles sure agree! I think I'm going XC skiing tomorrow, which will be nice. it's peaceful, but a really great workout. I think it might even burn more than downhill :)

Tangent: I was thinking today that I don't really mind that I'm not making any progress on the scale (that I know of). This is a long term thing, and the point is that I'm working towards a bigger goal. I mean, who cares about one pound up if I know I did my best to keep the calories low? As long as I give this everything I have, I'll be beautiful in the end. So even if I don't get into a size 6 prom dress this year (I pray to God that I do), I know that I'm going to get into a size 2 wedding dress. I can do this. One day, I'll get all my goals.
