Overweight and doing something about it

I had hoped by this point… My blog title would read: “Skinny and staying that way”.. or “Formerly overweight and loving it” or “Don’t hate me because, I’m thin” or … ya catch my drift.

The reality is, it’s been five months and I’ve GAIN weight. GAIN. Another reality is, it’s noone’s fault but my own. There, I said it. I’ve been lazy, unproductive, not very active, etc, etc. It’s funny what a month or so off a diet and exercise regimen can affect your progress. Ok - it’s not really funny, but a huge slap in the face.

As I embark on my weight loss journey AGAIN, I want to say I’ll be, more confident in my ability, but who knows. Let’s hope, I’ve learned my lesson. I need some positive vibes this way, por favor…

 Today’s workout:

Current weight is 189 lbs

Why do some women think is ok to strut around butt ass naked in the locker room? I understand that you must get naked in order to get into your gym clothes and naked before you jump in the shower, I’m ok with that. However, I’m not ok with you stripping down, frolicking from one corner to another, using the bathroom, combing your hair all in your birthday suit. That’s not cool. Please put some damn clothes on or at LEAST wrap a towel around your exhibitionist-ass. Because I need NOT know how your bush is trimmed! Didn’t you get the handbook on locker room etiquette? Apparently not. Sheesh!

Stats for the week:

Chest 38 (under breasts 35): Waist 36; Hips 40
Arms: left upper arm 12.5; right upper arm 13.
Legs: left upper thigh 24.75; right upper thigh 24.75
Size:12
Weight: 188

I weighed myself today and I lost five pounds -despite the McDonalds, despite channeling David Hasselhoff during Happy Hour on Thursday. I’m not going to get too excited about the weight loss as it could be all a fluke. I did a total of 205 minutes of cardio this week! It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. I did two sessions of my strength training class, I’m having problems with the arm curl machine, not that the weights are heavy, the machine is uncomfortable. I guess it has something to do with me being double jointed in my elbows, maybe not. I’m going to switch to free weights for my biceps.

My measurements are:
Height 5′7″
Chest 40.5 (under breasts 36): Waist 37; Hips 42.5
Arms: left upper arm 13; right upper arm 13.5
Legs: left upper thigh 25.5; right upper thigh 25.75
Size:14
Weight: 190

Next week, My goal is to wake up early enough to cook a nutritional breakfast.

Off subject - I’m to attend my first Indian wedding tonight. Exciting, no?
