Looking up the path on the mountain of weight loss.

Was that title a little overkill? Nah.

Yesterday, I made the commitment to just get my rear in gear and go to the gym. I might not go everyday, but I will go more than just casually.

So, last night, I did a weight-lifting/cardio mix class. And then stayed for yoga.

Today, I have my gym clothes chilling out behind me ready to be on my body and sweated on in 3/4 hours.

It seems pretty random of a time to start working out. Valentine's Day isnt near. Bathing suit season is just gone. Mid-October? Sure, why not.

I am not going to weigh myself anytime soon. The last time I got on a scale I was pretty bummed out. I dont want to be doing all this great work in the gym and then have the scale's numbers mock all my hard work!

My eating is still pretty disastrous. But I actually woke up hungry this morning! Unfortunately, I ate quite a horrible breakfast this morning and that feeling of hunger has long since passed.

There's not really a point to all this. I just feel like I'm staring up this long, arduous path of weight loss that I have barely started on. Crick-in-my-neck up. Yayyyyyyy y y y.

took my notes

I went to spin class last night. Took my notes. We did a lot of jumps. And a lot of holding the hips steady and just cycling with our legs and not using the right and left motion to power us through the motion of cycling. And then, I think, the "worst" part was sitting in the seat and doing the 45 second sprint/15 second recoup time (7 times).

But surprisingly, I hardly broke a sweat and didnt really get out of breath. I blame yoga for teaching me to control my breath. Now if I could just learn to control my breath while teaching yoga then things would just be peachy.

Oh, I weighed myself last night again. I swear that scale hasnt BUDGED!
The only thing I know to do is just workout more and watch my diet more. I cant get down on myself because I have been getting down on myself for the past months and that hasnt gotten me any weight loss. I'm more in a put up or shut up mindset right now. I'm not going to get magically skinny by moping and beating myself up. Well, I could get skinny by beating myself up on a treadmill ... but by beating myself up in front of the mirror? Nowai. Its damaging to my self esteem and confidence. Where's an Oprah show? I feel my ovaries percolating.
