Need another reason to hate me?

I know there is an unwritten rule with women that we can't be proud of ourselves for fear of other women feeling bad. I say to hell with that rule. My pride shouldn't determine yours. While I'm at it, I say to hell with women like that. If what I'm about to write makes you feel nervous or anxious, or makes you downright mad, then chances are you need to put down your potato chips.

I am proud of myself. I joined the gym 10 months ago and have been going several times a week every week. (minus a week or two for a horrid sinus infection) And I am seeing results. And I'm motherfucking proud of myself. I'm not the gym type. I join and slack off because I'm naturally skinny and without fat you have no reason to exercise. This was the year of my 30th birthday and my promise to myself was to be healthier. If I can't kick the eggrolls and booze then I'm going to have to start getting my lazy ass off the couch. Something's gotta give right? I'm not 19 anymore. So I've done it and I've done it well might I add. Husband has been telling me that he can see a difference for a few months now, and I'm finally seeing it too. And let me tell you, this shit is firm.

So hate me if you must. Just don't throw any quarters at me unless you want them to bounce off of my firm, white, ass and smack you in the face. Biiaaatch. (Biiaaatch thrown in for good measure.)

Good for you! That is awesome. I have promised myself that after this baby is born, I'm going to get back in shape, too. I used to run an hour a day. People that know me now may not believe that. ;-D

Awesome!!

I joined the gym in June. Was doing good with Body Flow classes, running and free weights thrown in. I missed the last 3 weeks because my husband was out of town for a month for work and I have very few family/friends here.

I'm waiting for the go ahead from my doc to continue. I'm hoping that doing the Body Flow (at the very least) will a) help keep the weight gain down and b) help me ditch the baby weight that much faster once July rolls around.

Good for you! We should all be so gutsy and give ourselves pats on the back sometimes. I haven't found time to go to the gym, but have taken up the Wii Fit program. Between that & eating less, I've dropped 20 lbs. I'm very proud of myself!!!
