THOUGHTS OF A FITNESS FREAK

I got my suit and damn…..its beautiful.  Yep, I lift til I want to cry, smash fingers, rip off nail, get bruised and sore………then this fuscia/cranberry suit smothered in rhinestones comes in and brings tears to my eyes more than a squat rack loaded with plates. Not a spot on it not covered with a rhinestone…so awesome. 

I did cardio tonight as well as last night.  Id like to cut in my hams just a little and get my hip flexors to show more.  My upper body is jacked, Im not worried about that part.  Plus when I think I need more butt, I take a picture and from the back I notice I got kind of a big ass for figure.  Lots of competitors lose their butts……I have ass-loss phobia.

I did 20 of cardio last night and tonight I did 40.  10 on step mill, 20 on the bike and 10 on the treadmill.  I brough a novel to fight boredom and it works.  The recumbant bike is best for reading though as you are not moving up and down and trying to read at the same time.  After that I went to the weight room and did some arm pumping stuff, incline situps and leg extensions, then tanned. The gym was like a ghost town. 

Oh, I was featured in a couple local papers here….weird to get recognized when I go in places.  Its a very nice story about me.  I just wish they had posted a “body-shot”.  You talk about being fit…….yet in the photos I am from the ribs upwards……whatev.  My new neighbors stopped to say hello at the mailbox today.  They saw me in the paper, so I guess you can tell its me.  Maybe its the hair?

You know whats funny?  All these years I tried to be someone else……..someone people would like. I caved to how I was supposed to be, how they wanted me to be and I was not happy.  Now I am who I want to be and I think people like me more because even if I look different than most women, I am happier and more open and friendly this way.  I ran into the gym tonight and the girl at the counter said “wow, you are happy” and I said , “yes, yes I am!”. 

Happy Friday and be happy
