I'm not quite sure how I'm going to address my "weigh-in wednesday" posts here... I don't really feel like publishing real numbers (I know, isn't that the point?), but to be honest I'm totally embarrassed at what I currently weigh.
I CANNOT BELIEVE I've let myself gain 40 pounds over the last 5 years. SICK.
Also - I'm not a "normal" sized girl. I'm 5'10". I'm a good 5-6 inches taller than ALL of my girlfriends, so I don't feel like weight is a really relevant thing to talk about with this audience (for the most part - with my weight watchers buddies it's a totally different story!)
Okay... enough of me trying to justify not putting my weight on this blog. Bottom line is, I don't want to, and it's my blog, so dammit, I don't have to if I don't want to.
So, I weighed myself this morning, and I'll just post weekly updates on how much I've lost (hopefully!) every Wednesday, as well as updates on how working out and training is going.
The more I think about this, the more I think that a lot of you probably don't want to read this... so feel free to skip all posts titled "Weigh-in Wednesday" if you prefer to read this blog for my snark, sass, and commentary on my desire to own ridiculously priced consumer goods. Don't worry, I'll keep those posts coming frequently. And hopefully there will be even more ridiculously priced consumer goods as I lose weight and can fit into nice clothes again, yay!
So - a recap of yesterdays session with Mario:
OW.
It was painful.
But it was a good painful.
He totally kicked my ass for an hour, and I'm hurting today. Not the worst soreness I've ever had, but pretty damn close (freshman year of high school basketball practices were worse, I think). We did lots of leg work, but also some arms. Way more squats and lunges than I wanted to do, and way more jumping jacks than I ever wanted to do. (I think only male trainers would make a girl do so many jumping jacks... ummm hellooooo I'm a D cup, even with 2 good sports bras on, jumping jacks hurt!).
I also went to Whole Foods yesterday morning and stocked up on tons of veggies and fruits. When I got home Monday night I had a coupon in the mail for $20 off any purchase of over $100. Seriously - amazing coupon.
I'm going to go to a spin class at the gym tonight... it'll be great cardio (always is) and will hopefully help loosen up my sore muscles before Mario comes over to abuse me again tomorrow!
Hope everyone has a great humpday!
Hi there! It's me, @Fitter_Happier_ from twitterland.
ReplyDeleteFirst, your "about me" section killed me. I'm the ONLY person in our office of 20 who isn't in love with Obama. Whatever. Ugh.

I love your idea of weigh-in wednesdays! You know i'm laughing at the fact that I too have gained 40 pounds over the last 4 years & also am not a normal sized girl - 5'10 built like a farm girl (which...well i originally was. lol)
ReplyDeleteI really want to start weight watchers but am a bit shy about it here in the city & also totally hate doing this stuff without a weight loss buddy.
Maybe we could do a buddy blogger system with this tons-o-fun weight loss journey we have both started? :)
good luck on the venture to lose weight! I will soon be joining you in a few weeks :) 40 pounds in 5 years - pffttttt... I got 38 pounds in 9 months! ha!
ReplyDeletePS are you going to homecoming this year? would love to see you!!
Good luck with your weight loss. I have just started my own journey and am also a law student :)
ReplyDeleteGirl, I hear ya! I finally lost 30 pounds last year after I kept putting it off and making excuses for myself : )
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy, but if I can do it, anyone can. Keep your head up and don't ever give up; if you tell yourself you'll lose the weight, you will.
Love your blog! Keep up the great work : )
