Mary Lou Retton (or her Platform, anyway) is slumming it in my garage. I put her there because (1) our bathroom is too small, (2) she is kind of loud in the morning, and (3) the Things find her fascinating. (More on that later...suffice it to say, things that the Things find fascinating get played with too much and end up not very fascinating for anyone.) I plan to step on The Platform every weekday morning in my full workout regalia during the month of February, and I'll be reporting here.
Here's what's happened so far....
Platform, Day 1: Yesterday, I set up the Mary Lou's Weigh Platform, and (cue swelling inspirational music) together we embarked on the journey to lose 10 pounds! Or at least I did; she's just along for the ride.
Platform, Day 2: I was one pound above my starting weight. Lyn at "Escape from Obesity" was spot-on in her comment to Dina: when you gain, Mary Lou "has that tone of mild warning that your mother uses on you when she says 'be careful...'." Mary Lou's advice for me today? "Remember, eating right and exercising are good for your mind, body, and soul. You'll feel better if you stick to it." Yes, she is absolutely right: I'd taken BodyPump class yesterday, and by golly, those feelings of health coursing through my mind, body, soul prevented me from shooting The Platform!
Tune in tomorrow for the continuing adventure...
