Healthy Weight Loss

Zimmeh · 10-27-2011, 07:52 AM

There isn't anything ugly about this subject. I deal with this on a daily basis and no matter how much walking or any other form of exercise, the crap is still *hanging* out...I refuse to allow anyone to do surgery on me and eventually I will find a non-invasive way to get rid of it..

I have a bit of an off color sense of humor.

Not unlike some of the planeteers I bet. So.... over the years of going to the gym as a fat lady I have come to the conclusion that there is a "Fat Germ".

I have been a member of my gym for years and years and in that time I have seen a lot of members and instructors go through. There is a gym culture.

Skinny people are always spoken to by the teachers and fellow workout individuals. This, in my twisted sense of dark humor, has led me to conclude that thin people are afraid of the DREADED FAT GERM.

I have an entire comedy routine dedicated just to the fat germ. And it truly does amuse me, and has for many years. If you were on a treadmill beside me I swear I would crack you up.

You might even mis-step and "fall" off said mill. And then we would both laugh our tom foolery asses off. But not literally ~ cause like that would look funny.

But I do think that gym regulars with great bodies are DEADLY

afraid of catching it... it has been a good 'weird' people repellant over the years...

Well, apparently I have been cured of the fat germ. In the last month I have had people befriend me in my classes. Now these are people who have sweated with me for, some of them, two or three years, and most of them a better part of the year. All of a sudden people are talking to me.

I even have one lady offering to set me up because I always come in just under the wire

. I say yes, cause hell there has to be some benefit.... to being cured I mean.

But... I do miss my guaranteed anonimity.

Interesting story

... but I swear all true....

Well, I did it, I joined a gym. I had My first workout tonight and My niece was happy to be My personal trainer, she is a great workout buddy. We did cardio and arms and I got lots of advice from staff about eating protein after your workout , etc. I know these things, but the interest and support is nice.

I feel hopeful and a little less isolated.

So good stuff! Thanks again for all the support. *s

Weighed this morning and lost another pound. Been kinda slacking for a day or two. Going to see my Aunt and cousins for a week, so won't be much dieting going on.
When I get home I am starting what I like to call phase 2 of my weight loss. I will start back taking supplements. I will be taking some of the same, and changing others. I also am going to start a new workout program. I am actually looking forward to it.
Hope y'all are having a awesome week!!!

I feel like I am stuck, and I'm trying to stay motivated and not go back into old habits but man it's tough. Long hard day dealing with clients with major emotional stuff, I feel drained and all I want to do is eat junk right now. I normally don't take their *stuff* home with me but I had some hard ones today.

I give my clients advice all day long on weight loss and how healthy eating is so important for them especially when in recovery of an illness, and I don't even want to take my own advice. BLAH!

Yesterday was an interesting day.. had some great points, and a not so great point..

- went grocery shopping with a friend of mine, and loaded up on the healthy stuff, but was fun to share my tips with her...and to get home with a lot of things to maintain my healthy journey!

- made plans with another dear friend of mine (we were best friends in elementary school and reunited just recently through facebook) to go for a walk..We went to a lake nearby and walked trails, which was great fun.. lots of laughs & great exercise.. cept a lil excessive, because we got lost in the woods and luckily got out just before dark.. it was a good thing i was with her & not alone or i would have panic'd badly.. It was near freezing, and when we got home , cold had really set in.. we were very lucky, but together we stayed calm and retraced our steps and eventually found our way...

- what would have been an hour walk, turned into a 4 hour walk (16km which is about 10 miles, i believe...) we kept warm by continuously walking.. two gabby girls, thinking they knew where they were going and then standing in the middle of nowhere with no clue where to go.. oy! lol..Next time, we'll walk so far, turn around and go back unless we're absolutely sure of where we are going..

so needless to say, got my exercise in for yesterday!
