is it wrong to smell like aspercream?
that was the question that i pondered all morning while i limped around my house going, "oh, oh, OH! oh god that hurts!" a long lamenting moan. in the end, i decided that while i'm not at work trolling for boys, i'd prefer not to show up smelling like aspercream, i think that falls under the category of definite turn off!
as i've mentioned in the very last stop, jenn & i did bite the bullet & sign up for a personal trainer at the Y. & so far it's been money well spent. not only has riley kicked our collective asses from one side of the gym to the other, in a supportive kind way, but he's shown me a lot of exercises i've never done before. he's also given some great tips on cardio & what the best strategies are for weight loss.
& one thing he mentioned yesterday, was time. & it SUCKS, cause i know he's right. & in so many ways it really is about time. i can't just sit around on my haunches & WAIT for the weight to disappear, but i do have to give it time while i do my best.
patience is a virtue. & sadly enough, not one that i seem to possess. but i'm trying. i know that it took me a long time to get fat, so it should at least take some time to become less fat. but, it's hard!
& then there's the competition. & i want to WIN. not just for the sake of the money, which would be VERY nice, but also so that i can say i won. so i can know that i'm that much lighter & i did my best to work out & make a great showing.
right now we're 25% through the competition, & since we started on january 8th i've lost 4.4lbs, so theoretically, at the end of it all, on april 2nd, i could be down 17.6 lbs if i keep the same rate of weight loss, which would be a great thing.
just trying to stay positive, keep working, & avoid the free cake at work like it's a flea infested with the black plague & i'm a poor country peasant in england. we all know how THAT story usually wound up. then again, the pope made it through the plague, i can beat the cake.
