Hello everyone. Today’s workout is completed, I just did Butts and Guts. I am going to feel the DOMs tomorrow boy!
It has been quiet here the last few days. Guess we are all busy? I saw the movie The Town with Ben Affleck last night with DH. It was a great movie. DH didn’t even want to see it, but he couldn’t stop talking about it when it was over. It was nice to see Ben Affleck in a GOOD movie.
Cookie- Bethenny was so sweet and all smiles. She is very thin, but I think she just takes care of herself. She looks older in person than on t.v. though. I bought my boys some clothes. Chris was in desperate need of more pants and long sleeve shirts. I bought them some shoes at stride rite too.
Belinda- Hope your BIL is doing okay. Cool deal on the festival.
Iris- Good luck with STS. I so want that for Christmas. Is this your first time doing it?
Lori- I am assuming your daughter is a teenager and teenagers, especially of the female variety are just so hard to deal with. I cannot even imagine how mad I would be if I were the mom in that situation. Just hold your ground, which I can tell you know how to do
. I am dreading this age with my kids.
Amelia- How was step blast? Do you do a Cathe abs routine?
Okay- I have to vent about something that has been bothering me all weekend. I lost a lot of weight over the last two years. I did it the healthy way with working out (obviously with Cathe) and then later eating clean. I am now 5’9” and weigh 140 which is a perfectly healthy weight according to my doctor. At work on Friday, this stupid, overweight security job said to me as I walked down the hallway, “Oh my God, you are so boney. Look at you, what does your husband say?” I was so taken back by it and I started defending myself, and my husband. I am not boney, I am muscular and it took two years to get this way. . . Then I go to the bus stop to get my son, and my neighbor, in front of all these women that I don’t know because I can only get to his bus stop on a pay day when we can leave early if we have 8 period prep, says to me “You’re too skinny, oh my God, you need to eat more.” She started to tell the women how I used to be a BIG girl but that now I am too skinny. Meanwhile she goes on to say how she weighs 112 and wants to get down to 98 pounds.She is 5’7. WHAT?!? Then she wanted me to show her how to do a squat. Yea, in front of these women. Now it’s been bothering me all weekend. What bothers me the most is my need to defend myself. I know I shouldn’t care. It’s just that I don’t starve myself. I eat. I eat more than I used to eat. I used to not eat all day and then stuff my face with dinner, chips and dessert. Now I eat six small meals, all healthy. And I cheat, at least one day a week I make a cheat day. Don’t the two of them see how rude they are? I am tall and now I am thin, but it is all muscle, I assure you. If I wasn’t eating enough there is no way I could keep up with Cathe and do squats with a barbell, or shoulder presses w/15# dumbbells. I just had to get it out there. I am sorry to even bring this up here. It just bothers me. When I was 200 pounds no one said to me, “Oh my God are you healthy?” the answer would have been no.
