Don't you just hate it when you are at the gym and there are skinny (like 90 lbs) girls running for hours on the treadmill in front of you in cute little outfits and no sweat on them at all? Man, I get so jealous, first, because I am not skinny, second, because I can't "run" on the treadmill, thirdly, because I don't have thousands of dollars to spend on cute workout attire (seriously, tonight I wore my Nike Grade 9 PE shirt (1999)) and lastly, because I sweat like a mother when I work out. Not kidding- seriously, check it out:
In food news, I only went over my daily points allowance by 2 points today. I feel like I have to really focus on food right now as last week was a bit out of control and I really want to see a loss on that scale next week when I weigh in. About two years ago when I lost about 40 lbs, I stopped trying at about the same weight I am now. I am DETERMINED to not make the same mistake I did last time and go back to being unhealthy. I want to get into the 180's so badly, and I know my weakness: food portions. So, Day 1 of portion control: Check!
I don't feel like I was actually working out unless I got all sweaty and gross. Seriously. If I am not heading to the change room with that "OMG I need to take a shower *now*" feeling, I feel like a wimp. And it's a particular source of pride if I'm stretching or finishing my workout and realize I managed to outlast my deodorant (*sniff* *sniff* What is that...whoa! That's me... time to stretch it out and grab a shower... and I wear strong deodorant - like, clinical strength.)
ReplyDeleteSo take pride in your sweat! Make one of your rewards a really cute gym outfit! Climalite is a nice material to work out in.
There's no way you're going back girl! You've come too far and you're too determined...will never happen :)
ReplyDeleteWhat are your plans for Toronto?
Oh, I feel you. I am a sweaty, sweaty lady. But someday I want to be one of those skinny girls running forever in a super cute little outfit - a sweat-wicking one.
ReplyDeleteThanks all, a little sweat never hurt anyone :)
ReplyDeleteAmanda - Plans for two day trip to Toronto include: Dinners and drinks with best friend, hotel downtown, seeing the CN tower, shoe museum, and other tourist activities then flying back to Vancouver on Sunday - just in time for weigh in on Monday!
