There Is A Sweaty Line Between Love and Hate...

Ok, let's get this one out of the way right now...




For the record, that 22lbs. to go is my first weight goal. That's the one where you say, "Gee, if I could just get down to XXX, I'd be thrilled!" That's what 140 represents to me.

Now, my ideal weight is between 128 - 132. I'd be over the moon with that range.

So, just what am I doing to achieve that?

Well, I'm back on my workout routine. I hate, with a passion, doing "hop about the room like a freaking ninny" aerobics. Cannot stand it... it's like that line from "City Slickers" where Phil goes a bit bonkers at the birthday party and says, "If hate were people... I'd be CHINA!!!!" - that's me where aerobics is concerned.

So, I'm very proud of myself that I managed to pull off 25 minutes of fat burning, muscle building, cursing at the little skinny people on the screen, aerobics today. From there I went into my 20 minute pilates routine, which I love... love with a deep, unabiding, passion.

That's sounds a wee bit strange, doesn't it? But, I do... I unapologetically love to bend and contort around the family room floor... far better than I like "double step touch and squat, drag the foot, and double step touch... now power march!"

Stupid, skinny, blonde, breast-implanted, lipo'd, hags. #!@#$#@#$%#!

Current Weight Loss Goal:
  • Lose 8lbs. by Sept. 01
That's 5 weeks to drop 8lbs. Now, I think that is more than reasonable. Besides, 10 is more realistic and I'd be absolutely stoked if I pulled that off. Still, baby steps... baby steps!

Good for you! I find yelling at the skinny chicks with their matching leotards and sweatbands quite therapeutic while exercising as well.

Thanks for the link.

Keep up the great work!!

wicked h Thanks for stopping by! I usually have to make sure my kids are far from the room when I am exercising... you know #$%!#$%#
LOL

Warped Tour Mom Thank you! Is it just me or is it harder to get started then it is to actually keep going? ;o) It took me a solid 3+ months to psych myself up to get going.
