The same weight for two days in a row. Well that’s unusual.
Today I made it back to the gym. I did 40 minutes of cardio and burnt 460 calories. I’m not sure whether I’m still ill or have become unfit, but it was hard work. Not a little bit hard, but really, really hard. When I go o the gym, I definitely believe in the motto ‘go hard or go home’. I don’t understand the people who go to the gym and read. Read??? I once saw a woman who was lying on her back whilst also reading the SMH. I doubt she was concentrating on her form.
When I go to the gym it is for the sole purpose of burning as many calories as possible and toning and honing as much of my body as I can manage. I’m not there to talk or make friends. I’m there to work – I should be breathless, on the verge of pain and sweaty (and make no mistake about it, I don’t glow or perspire – I sweat). When I first set-up on a machine, I say hello to it. For the next however many minutes, it is my partner in achieving my goal.
Anyway today was a good workout. I would much rather be playing sport (damn my knees which won’t allow me to do the things I really love like play netball and run), but at least I can still get the endorphin high from somewhere.
Today’s outfit is definitely not flattering. I can’t say when all I did was go the gym, I care today. I’ve had the shorts since I was 21. I do like the fact I can still fit into clothes from more than a decade ago. Does help a bit when it’s got a drawstring waist!
I really thought taking a shot in my underwear every day would show me more. I’m almost disappointed that I can’t see big differences in my weight, but I can’t really and that shouldn’t disappinte me, it should reassure me. What this does prove though is the fact that it’s all in your head. The way you perceive yourself isn’t really down to the scales or what size you are or what a photoraph tells you – it’s in your head. Well my head to be precise.
