First, I'm a loser because, much like everything else I do in my life, I started the blog, and then I promptly quit the blog because I wanted instant gratification. Instant results. And I don't even know what I expected, but somehow I convinced myself that NO ONE would EVER read my blog. EVER. But yesterday and today I kept thinking about how this blog, whatever the hell a blog really is, should really only be FOR ME, and even if no one else reads it, it is a great way to "meet" some new people, get some great support and tips from others who have been where I am now, and to journal my thoughts in a healthy way. And, bonus, since no one will actually ever read this, I don't have to fret over what a long, annoying sentence I just wrote! Ha!
Second, I am a LOSER because I have LOST TEN POUNDS! 10 Mother Fucking Pounds! Sometimes ya just have to say MF, and this is one of those times. It just feels good. Slow and steady, I know, but hopefully the pounds won't come back so soon...or EVER.
I want to tell you about two fun things I've added to my routine. The first is ZUMBA! OMG....so much fun I can't even tell you. And if I call an hour of exercise fun, it has to be almost orgasmic! Trust me. Plus, you burn like 600 or more calories in that hour. So yea. Love me some Zumba, baby. The second thing I've tried....are you ready for this???????????? Those damn SHAKER WEIGHTS! Yes, I am aware that this is actually a THIRD reason I am a loser, but I will tell you this, my arms are BURNING. And you have to realize, I was a NO exercise girl a couple of months ago. But it is a quick burn that makes you laugh, so it's all good. If you haven't seen the shaker weight spoof on SNL, go to hulu or google it....SOoooooo funny! As if the actual shaker weight commercial isn't funny enough! ;)
So anyway, I'm a loser in more ways than one, and I'm happy about that!
Gotta run.
You *are* a loser! A total winning loser! You go girl! I loved that comment you left me today (another run on sentence, but there is nothing wrong with that!) and I totally approve of your F bomb usage. Personally, I love the F bomb and have to exercise great restraint to not use it in my WW blog. Anyway - there is no such thing as instant gratification in this journey, just keep at it. Over time you will be AMAZED at seeing how you changed: mentally, physically, emotionally. It's really awesome. But for now, congrats on that 10 and for realizing that the writing is for you - it's great when other people respond and relate, but it's great to document your progress and thoughts for yourself so you can see how far you've come. (Believe me, when I started writing, I remember having less than 50 readers for a long time. I never thought I'd have 3500!) Keep up the great work! xo
ReplyDeleteI just started blogging too. I am trying to lose at least 50 pounds. I was so scared that no one would read my blog or comment, but THEY DO! I still get so excited about it. I am thinking about joining WW, but feeling guilty about the cost. Any advice?
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered about those shaker weights! And...I have no idea about Zumba, I'll check it out though. Good work on the 10 pounds. I'll be following you! :)
