I was doing rows yesterday….. (compound machine) 12 reps of 125lbs. Keep in mind I only weigh 112….A lady I know said hi, and stupid me looks over my shoulder. BAD IDEA. Ouch, can’t believe I did that. It is a good thing I still have some Robaxin. Now I am a hurtin’ unit.

Finally got over my fear

ok, this may sound silly, but I was terrified to go to the gym. i have this issue with being in big open spaces with people all around me and no where to hide. (I’m sure there’s a medical term) anyhoo, i had been working out at home forever. when my husband and i moved to Arizona, i couldnt take any of my equipment with me. however, there is a gym on base here. and going there is free. my first time there was a little scary. but with my hubby by my side, i finally feel ok in the gym. the results are really paying off. and i wish i would have been going to the gym for the last year instead of working out at home. i’m sure i would have been a lot farther along in the progress i want. oh well. at least i am going now, right?

are you happy?

yesterday I had one of my customers ask me if i was happy now that I am thinner. I simled and said of course i am! i’m 25lbs lighter and when your only 5′ tall, 25lbs might as well be a ton. then he asks me:"are you sure" is every thing ok? WTF buddy!! its not like my god damn bones are poking out!! i eat six times a damn day!! my hair isnt falling out, im healthy ok??! then he starts to tell me about eating disorders and all that crap, look i know that they are serious, and i have experienced all the horrible things that go with them. i have a freind that got to 90lbs at 5′7" and it almost killed her. and here is this guy who smokes like a chimney, has a beer belly, and eats shitty food all the time telling me to be healthy? yeah thanks for being concerned, but i am a big girl and i can take care of myself.

Medicine ball of death

I have always just done my ab workouts to this stupid video (not telling) and didnt realize the workout i wasnt getting. i decided to change things up. So i bought a medicine ball and an ab sculpting book. did my first workout on sunday. i thought "geez that wasnt too hard." then monday came and i thought i was going to die. we always goof off at work and everytime i had to laugh i thoght i was gonna cry. anyway, i have decided not to do abs every day and try it every other day once i get used to this evil little ball. ps. this is my first post, hope it isnt screwed up.
