I have always envied the fine folk who burn it up on the Elliptical like a damn walk in the park…well after my grumbling and growling about my inability to burn and lose this weight, I attempted the BEAST. LO and BEHOLD! I aced it!! I crank out 15 minutes of HIIT ( THANK YOU THORRA) on the BEAST…!!!

My goal is to add approximately 5 minutes each time I jump on it..I am determined to get this furnace of mine BLAZING.

Next accomplishment…NEVER step on a scale again……well at least not until I absolutely, positively have too..damn muscle weighs alot and I get obsessed with that  number!

7 Months now..roughly 5 times a week I am putting myself through the sweet pain of the BURN…and I havent lost 30 friggin pounds..?? Yes I see results…and I know I am older and these things tend to take time…..But WTF!! And I had some chick "measure" my BF and it was like 34 friggin percent…I almost threw the closest dumbell at her. I was 34% when I started this ride!!!

Lately I have changed the routinage up..I added 3 to 4 cardio classes a week…and throw in my heavy weights in between..I CANNOT give up my weights..I LOVE what I see in the mirror, I love keeping up with my husband…and I still dont see myself burning the fat like EVERYONE else would..

I will admit I get totally discouraged by that goddamn scale..I actually threw the one we have at home out..SCREW THAT LYING DAMN THING.

So here I am, grumbling and wondering why I cant drop this damn weight… the clothes are fitting really good..and one of the trainers tells me DO NOT GO BY THE SCALE…But how can I not..? Maybe its time to drastically modify the diet.? I am HUNGRY on training days…and I eat much better than I used too….more protein..? NO CARBS..? Supplements…? OH MY….Do thermogenics REALLY work..?? Shit I will lick a dogs ass if someone would tell me it will BURN THE FAT..( Too far.?)

Maybe its time to try that damn scary contraption….THE ELLIPTICAL…da da daaaaa..

So yes I am discouraged…..have been for 3 months…..but I refuse DEFEAT…..

I need one of the hardasses here to push me to my breaking point at the gym..make me see the errors of my ways…..
