There is Nothing Worse Than a Mad Fat Woman

I was raised to stuff my feelings which I do very well. Along the way while I was stuffing my feelings I have also stuffed myself. I am beginning the journey to become a happier, healthier, firmer and thinner version of my former self. What follows are the ramblings from the journey.

Survival of the Unfit

Tonight, my workout buddy and good friend Lori and I swallowed our collective pride and attended boot camp at the YMCA. The good news is we survived without humiliating ourselves. It is embarassing at how out of shape I have become in only 55 years! UGH! This is going to be a long process but it will be worth every bead of sweat, aching muscle, crunch (not the Captain variety), lunge, and step when I am healthier and have my heart in better shape. Lori and I both learned a valuable lesson tonight - do not eat right before boot camp. At least an hour needs to be between the time of your meal and exercise. We received encouragement from a woman who has lost 100 pounds in a year! She was a great motivator and encouraged us to just keep moving and to not give up.

Tomorrow is a workout on the treadmill - more fun to come!

Weight loss this week was 3 pounds. I will take it.
