waaah
Category: working out
working out wears me out but I want to lose weight. sounds like a common theme around the estrip community. I guess I had too much fun on the town in the past year which has taken a toll on my little frame : (
or maybe its the long ass daily commute which I cannot complain enough about...Friday=2.5 hrs to get to work. Another 1+ hr to get home.

I should be asleep instead of posting. But I'd like to spend some part of the day with relaxation time.

Abs were hard tonight but well worth the pain : )

I hope I stay on track and get rid of 2lbs a week. I'd be happier and I wouldn't look like star jones.

I enjoy the workout but I feel so out of freakin' shape. This is the ultimate goal - to get back into shape so that I can join the adult gymnastics gym and look hot to boot!!! I can't wait to have rock hard abs so I can mount the parallel bars and twirl to my hearts content <sigh>

pictures to follow later of my progress. well, maybe.

A couple of simple suggestions:
- drink lots of water. And I mean, lots.
- cut out simple sugars
- keep your mind occupied with other stuff, so you are never sitting around with nothing to do.

But if you _really_ want to lose weight pronto: bike to work! ;-)

actually, right now I'm trying to gain weight... but come June I'll be trying to shed the bodyfat that I put on this winter bulking up..

notice I didn't say lose weight in June. when you lose something like your keys you have to find it. and when you "lose weight, believe me, you don't want to find it again."

shedding body fat starts in your mind...It's how you frame things, the way you look at yourself and the confidence you have in yourself to succeed. everyday I walk into that gym I tell myself I'm gonna crush it today and everyday I get a little bigger and closer to my goals.

the love of the season
I love the start of the summer months.
more walkabouts, cool patio dining,did I mention excellent summer wines! I seriously hope it doesn't suck this year. But I guess that's up to me to make it the best.
anyway, I'm hitting the tail end of the dc film fest this week. so many choices in a day.
gotta go to the gym too and I barely have time for both. hmmm... want to look great but want to enrich the senses too. oh well, can't have it all; or can you?
I Hope that you enjoy this beautiful day!

xoxo

i always considered fall to be my favorite season, but in the last two years spring has been pushing it's way up to number 1. Maybe thats beacuse the last two springs have been decent "springs" for buffalo. Usually it just stays cold and snowy 'till late june.

ha, I've been looking to buy a road bike and a decent one starts at about 950-1,500. and what happens to that investment when the damn thing gets jacked?
