Day 51: Body Oddities

The body is a crazy thing isn't it!? Walk with me if you will..... our body is 70(?)% water (or is that the amount of water on earth? hm.) Uh, our body contains LOTS of water. Yet, we need water to survive. And when we drink water, we expel water. Logical right? I know, I know. It's scientific. And somehow related to the water cycle or the food chain or something. But I still think it's odd.

It also still boggles my mind that even though our bodies have many "pairs" (hands, ears, feet.... you get it....) that they are not the same size! Case in point- today I was wearing shoes. Clearly. The left, flopped off my foot for most of the day. The right, rubbed so hard that I was covered in bandaids by the time I left work. Of course, one could attribute this phenomenon to the fact that I bought cheap crappy shoes, and they may not even be the same size.... but I digress....

I also think it's odd that I worked really hard at the gym yesterday, felt great when I went to bed, felt fine all day long, and now that I am sitting here doing absolutely nothing, I feel my arm muscles starting to ache, and my abs throwing a hissy fit every time I breathe. In my head, I tell myself that its ok that I didn't work out today because muscle pain means muscle work which means calories burning which means weight loss. Or something. It's logical though right? Kinda? No? Damn. Whatever. My TRAINER said that the rest days are as important as the work days, so that is what today is. That and we had dinner at the caterer and got things pretty much set for the wedding. And let's face it.... meatballs trump treadmills ANY day. Always.

51 days down...129 to go!
