"There's a lot that you hate"

That's what my trainer said to me last night when I griped about him asking me to do some pylometrics.

Unfortunately, this is true AND(being the honest person I am) I agreed with him.

If you asked me if I like to exercise my quick response would be a "NO!"
However, after some consideration, I actually think I hate the word exercise more than the actual act.

Exercise: It even sounds ugly to me. Then it reminds me of exorcise, which then reminds me of the exorcist, and we won't even go there. When defining the word exorcise it means to be rid of evil spirits. So, if I associate exorcise with exercise I can look at it this way: I want to rid myself of the evil fat that has settled on my hips, therefore, I should exercise it. HA!

While I still don't look at exercise as the highlight of my day, I don't really mind it as long as it's a little interesting. So the goal is to make it interesting...

Yesterday I received P90x** in the mail - this will be my summer project.

This means I have 14 days to prepare myself mentally and physically for the beat down and tone up my body will take from this program. This will definitely keep it interesting as I have never devoted so much time to any exercise program in my life.

This is a promise I am making to myself and to you that I will follow through on this. AND this is an apology to those who will have to bear witness to my oh so charismatic coordination when I tote it along with me on family/friend visits over the summer.

Here is hoping that my trainer will be changing the "a lot" to "not a lot" in a few short months.

SHOUT OUT: To Tom for cooking the beautiful lean pork roast (that I will enjoy tomorrow-see below) and for getting my ass to the gym for a mini-workout.


E-mail of the day:
Titled: Fatty Diaries

So, I'm at the gym last night doing a spinning class and we start doing sprints. As I start to go faster and faster, I can feel all of my wobbly bits wobbling at an increasingly faster pace. All I could think of was a sumo wrestler as he's lunging towards his opponent with his fat flying everywhere. It's wasn't pretty. (My ass really hurts too!)


This has inspired me to take a spin class tomorrow (gulp)!


What I ate today:

Unfortunately, I woke up this morning with a rancid case of technicolor yawn.. so my appetite was minimal. I did manage to eat:

A bowl of corn flakes with milk and a banana
2 cups of watermelon
1/2 cup of my homemade chex mix
1/2 a giant orange
Carrots and pine nut hummus (YUM)
A very small latte
A bowl of chocolate cheerios- seriously if you haven't had them- go out right now and get some!!!

So I am under my calorie count for the day, but once my diet allows me to not rely on pepto I'll be back to my 1200-1350 calories a day.

And yes, I do weigh and measure all my food. My digital food scale is in the mail.

**P90x is a 90 day program, which includes several different regiments that are designed to transform your body. It is incredibly intense and you have to have some physical capabilities, and me only being able to do one -yup one- pull up, I cleared this with my trainer who will help me modify things that are too difficult i.e. pull ups.**
