And it begins again ...

I did The Shred again today. I've certainly lost some of the endurance that I gained the last time I did The Shred. I did it around 9 AM and I'm already sore. My back (I think I finally did the back exercises correctly), abs, and legs are sore. My armpits hurt, lol.

But this is all for the best, right?

What's my excuse this time? Depression. Surely.

But I've figured out something else ... I don't know what it feels like to be thin. It's hard to imagine something I've never been. I know what it's like to be thinner than what I am .... but not the ideal goal that I have. That's one of the reasons why I decided to start up again ... I was getting that bloated-hard-to-breathe feeling. That and I saw an old friend not too long ago who had gained some weight and I realized that is what I must look like to people: the extra weight around the face and in the arms ... pouchy belly and big behind. I don't know ... just didn't paint a purdy picture.

We'll see where this goes.

We'll see.

  2. I am right there with you when you say you don't know what it's like to be thin, so it's hard to imagine it. Everytime I think about what I will look like after I lose the weight I want to lose, I picture myself just how I am. It's sad and I don't know how to change it!

    Well anyhoo...Keep up the good work!! 30DS is intense. That killed me. Ugh. I'm in pain thinking about it!

    Take care!

    OH! And I have to say, I LOVE your reward system idea. That is genius! Let me know what kind of lip gloss you get :) (I'm a tad addicted)
