never_quit’s BodyBlog

First of all-I feel better! Yay! I slept all day yesterday and didn’t do anything but type in my blog when I wasn’t sleeping and read about amazing transformation stories. I read about that amazing man who lost over 400 pounds and how he had to get surgery to remove over 30 pounds of skin! Eek! Am I going to have a bunch of loose skin once I lose the 73 pounds that I want to lose? Heyyyy….I actually only have 69 more to go! wow Anyway, I digress…Loose skin!! And have you noticed that ‘lose’ is probably the most mispelled word on this site? Honey I don’t want ‘loose’ weight ’cause it’s already loose! I want to firm this body up! And ‘lose’ fat Ah yes-I’m feeling good! And I just worked out! I feel good about that too, except I have serious newbie syndrome. I feel like a kid that is learning to eat an ice cream cone and missing my mouth and whacking myself in the forehead instead LOL! I’m still happy though, just the fact that I’m moving is the crux! I don’t have a clue on what weights I can use so my ’stats’ are pretty funny looking. One set you can tell that I started out way (weigh!) too heavy…1st set…3 reps, then the weight drops and I do 12…too funny! Or my first weight is too light and I do 20 without breaking a sweat. I’m also unsure of what is normal in terms of say the difference between how much weight I can bench press and how much weight I can use for a bent over barbell row. Those are some other stats that are messed up because I put in my dumbell numbers instead of my barbell rows DOH! I could do more weight on the barbell rows than on the bench press…is that normal? Well, regardless-as BryanG commented-just the fact that I’m DOING and MOVING my body is what is most important! And I am indeed-woo woo! I did bis and tris today and I feel all pumped up and like I should be walking around with "air lats" haha. It’s fun-I’m totally digging this!

So, I’ve seen that people are writing down their goals for 2008. My goal is to learn to love myself unabashedly! That is really it in a nutshell! This may sound dorky (like THAT ever stopped me!) but I want to be like Maddi here on this site-in terms of her looks and her sexy confidence and her strength! I hollered at my hubby to come look when I first saw her site.

"I want to look like THAT!" I said to him, "She is so sexy and beautiful and strong and doesn’t let what other people say or think bother her-she is being true to herself. She is like a goddess and I want to be like that!!!"

He said, "Have you told her that?"

"What? No way-she’ll think I’m a wacko!"

Well I thought about it, and so I’m saying it!
That is my goal-to feel beautiful and to love myself.
