Dude. I have not gone to the gym since I got back from Oregon on Saturday. I feel like a slug.
I'm planning on going to the gym tomorrow evening with my friend/boss Tescia. My co-workers and I all got the official tour with our whole staff yesterday, which was great. Everybody was so motivated to go and excited about our membership. I feel like I've got a dozen new workout partners. (Speaking of, Erin - Where you at? Are we on for Saturday?)
I'm worried that I'm not going to be able to do this. I was talking to Tescia who lost almost 50 pounds in the last year. She did it by working out like a mad woman and eating nothing but raw veggies and hard-boiled eggs for months on end. She makes no bones about how hard it was to do and now how hard it is to maintain. Is it even possible to have a normal life and be fit with my metabolism?
My other co-worker is in the beginning stages of getting a lap band. I weigh more than he does. I wonder if that might be a good option for me. John hates the idea of me going in for surgery because of all the risks, but does obesity pose a greater risk? Can I be non-obese without surgical measures?

Yes, I am down for Saturday. I'll e-mail you about it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's time to look back to January 1st. Let's look at photos from New Year's Eve and compare them with how you look today. Let's discuss how hard those one-mile walks felt in January. Let's discuss what you were eating then. You have come a long way and you put "journey" in the blog title for a reason. You knew this wasn't going to be a giant leap to the center of you.
I hate seeing you question yourself, but it's also very reassuring to read about someone else's frustration at failing to achieve more dramatic results. Sometimes I think I'm doing so great at getting fitter, and then the scale slaps me in the face. Or my jeans do. But it's part of the process. Weight fluctuates. And bodies adapt to changes so we stop getting results. Let's set up some swim dates and discuss new nutrition goals.
I'm so proud of you for doing this (blogging twice in one week ;)
