I made it

It was difficult, but I made it through the weekend, and I made it through with flair.  I even figured out how to work in workouts even though I work nearly 15 hours on my feet.  I have decided that it is time to up my intensity on workouts and get my endurance up because right now it’s shameful.  Every time I go to my university gym and feel embarassed to be the fat person jiggling and out of shape I just tell myself that I do not have this equipment at home and I can never get where I want to be with out working out and I just do my thing.  I hope everyone else in a similar situation as me remembers this when they need it.  I have just a couple of days before I weigh in and I am ready.  It has been a good week, and I am ready for the next one to be even better.

    Nice! Be careful, or with an attitude like that you’re destined for greatness! ;-) And re: working out in public…one of my fave resources is NBHI’s obesity guidelines, and one of the things they stress is that it’s *everybody’s* right to be healthy, no matter what. Plus, just by working out you automatically belong in a gym, right? Go get ‘em! :-) Oh, and a HUGE congrats for finding time to work out–you have a hectic job, and finding time is a massively big deal…well done!

    Good job! I think everyone has gym intimidation issues. I barely venture to the free weight side, so sure that the buff guys are looking at me like, ‘go back to your cardio cinema, girly.’ I need to do like you and put aside my insecurity for the sake of my fitness.
