My New Hobby
Woah. Blogger got cooler looking. The posting mechanism did I mean. Wow. Neato! Lookin good! Okay enough of that.... Sorry I haven't been posting in awhile. Between crunch time at work, appointments, updating my very old ipod with new firmware (holy crap did that suck) and my new hobby (more on that shortly) I've been busy!
So I'm officially a gym junkie. Laugh now, get it all out. My friend Kymm goes everday and I never understood how the heck she did it. I've been the last 6 days and I'm not stopping anytime soon! 2 of those days every week are with my personal trainer at a private gym. That's where I do my super slow weight lifting which involves a lot of weight for a short amount of time in very slow reps. Pretty excruciating but I've gotten very strong since I started last February. I had about month off in there on and off due to being sick but I've kept up with it. I even see a bit of muscle definition here and there.
The other 4 days have been spent at 24 hour fitness on the elliptical. I started out at about 30 minutes. It was such a rush to finish that. I felt so accomplished. Then I went up to 35 min and up a higher level as well. Now I've gone up another level and I'm up to 40 min. I have to find my groove I guess. I have about ten times more stamina then I did 6 months ago, so yay me! Woo! Oh also, I've been a bit on and off about the Weight Watchers thing due to my vacation recently but I'm definitely back on again. When I weighed myself for my weekly weigh in this morning I got my first 5lb milestone star. Yup I've lost a whopping 5lbs since I started.
I owe a lot of this to C by the way. She's done more for me mentally and physically in such a short period of time then anyone else I know. Funny how that is. She's so modest about what an influence she has on me but take some credit! You rock! I'm not sure when she started being my "role model" but she's influenced me so much that I even have a regular therapist now. I feel great about the path my health is taking too.
I've had some angst lately that helped propell me to the gym. I've been working that out in other more private outlets rather than on my very public blog. Hopefully I'll be better soon and back to regular postings here. In the meantime, I'll just keep working out.

hey! so good to catch up with you and hear that you are doing well and being all healthy and shit. i have belonged to a gym since January. I've gone ... 6 times? I suck. But I have lost weight on my Wellbutrin, Beer, and Cigarette diet. So who needs a gym? My pants are simply falling off me. But enough about my sex life. I'm losing weight, too.
I am such a nerd.
