20 minutes turned into 30 on the "StairMaster"
Then 20 minutes on the treadmill
MADE SURE TO STRETCH
Before and after and feel fabulous for it (not sore yet)
NOT yet, anyway.
My gym monkey friend (she hangs out in gyms practically) told me to make sure to eat within a half hour after. I don't really know why, but I'm sure its somewhere along the lines of why we have to drink water. Replenishment?
My food log revealed some frightening things. While I'm healthy about my choices at home, my late night cravings.....not so healthy to put it mildly. Can we say glass of wine and chocolate donuts.
Weighed myself, doesn't look like it but I weigh 185 pounds as of today.
The goal; 145 or a size 5 and general good looking muscle tone.
Only 40 llbs to go

Being over-weight is nothing to be ashamed of is it? Our society frowns so heavily on people for it. If your like me you have felt for a long time the "if only's". If I only I were thinner I would be happier. If only I was a size blah blah he would think I'm hotter. And all the bullshit society feeds us about beauty and what it means to be beautiful. I read some disturbing information at Barnes and Noble last night. I picked up some weight loss book. There were several surveys the author quoted. One stated that doctors are known to spend more time with patients of an average weight than obese. There was some even left field survey stating that some people even blame "fat people" for global warming. Are we that afraid of obesity? Yes we must be, to get irritated with fat people whom we don't know in line at the store or at a restaurant. A purely emotional response not logical. Fear is the greatest motivator and the greatest cause of insecurity.

I have made a wonderful chart designed to motivate and keep me accountable (also the blog keeps me accountable)
Here's a pic :) I have put a star for every time I achieve a goal to end the cycle of overweight, joblessness and insecurity that fear causes.
