Wednesday I called Evelyn and told her that I’d been to the doctor. We talked about my appointment for a bit and then I said “It’s time”. She let one sigh, and then another. Then she said “I knew this was coming”, resolutely. (She knew what was coming next). She didn’t want to hear it. “It’s been too long you know”, I said. “I know, I know”, she said. “Tomorrow, then?” “Allright, allright. I’ll pick you up at 8am”.
So Thursday morning at 8:30 am, she came to get me with a smile on her face and a song in her heart. I said “Good morning”; and she said “Where?” And what was making my normally cheery friend surly? We not only started back at the gym yesterday; we also started eating healthy. I had an egg white omelet after the gym. She had a waffle, but only half. I know I’m finally back on track because although there’s a cupcake calling to me from the kitchen counter at this moment, I’m holding fast.
I thought I’d take the fitness test on the treadmill. I entered all my info and the belt started. I was in the warm-up cruising at 3mph. I thought everything was going pretty well until… the front of the machine raised dramatically and the speed increased to 4.5 mph.; 4.5 mph is no longer a brisk walk. It’s a jog, at least for me. For the first couple of minutes I did OK, although it sounded like a herd of elephants were running with me. After the first two minutes though, I decided that the benefit to my heart wasn’t worth the damage to my ta-tas. They hadn’t bounced that much in years. It was a bad thing. I still haven’t taken my bra off. (I’m almost afraid to). I’ve never found a bra that prevents bounce if you’re DDD.
I thought I’d aim for this look
Anyway, I think I’ll just let that cupcake sit there and watch as it slowly petrifies. (I think it’ll petrify before it turns moldy). It’s really strange; once I’m being really good, nothing seems to tempt me. Although I’m keeping watch for bad Michele. (I really don’t need her showing up right now). She tends to pop in a lot, especially when she’s not wanted.

I sure do understand l.o.l., BTW this picture is not temping me! Never want to look like that, never. I’m starting back myself, step machine, if you don’t hear back from me, dead!
Hi Miss Track. (That God awful picture doesn’t look good to me either). I don’t think Doug would want to sleep with anyone who had more muscles than he does! Good luck with your program. Let me know how you do.
I suggest you go back to that gym and set that machine right! You are the one paying to go to the gym! You have the right to get the training you deserve. I don’t know what it is with some programms, coaches, gym personnel, videos…They all seem to be working against us who want to get back in shape.
Helloooooo!!!! We are out of shape! We can’t do the same things as someone who is slim and trim and doesn’t have two inches of fat on them even if you add on all the fat on their whole body! The lady in your picture looks a lot like the women that were in a video series I recently purchased and sent back. Is there a video, programm, coach out there who knows what being overweight means and could help me get ‘started’ on loosing the weight and getting fit?!?. Not someone who thinks I’m already there as most do!
There! Just venting. Maybe I should make my own video of exercises that a normal person who wants to loose weight could do. I am who I am, overweight and can not keep up with all those fancy moves. So I am going slow. I keep in mind, slow and steady will win the race.
I don’t have the ta-tas problems. I’m a small C. Must hurt! Have had friends who had them reduced. Said they should have had it done earlier. No regrets after. The heck with the hubbies needs. They still have a lot to handle. Wish they could have given me what was taken. I would have floated better when swiming.

I went back to that demon machine today and gave it a what-for. Of course, I didn’t try the fitness test again either. Years ago, there used to a chain of workout studios for those who are built for comfort not for speed. I don’t know what happened to them though. I wish I had the money for a reduction. I’d do it in a heartbeat!
