Well, since everyone else is doin' it...
I guess I might as well post a blog entry today.
SO over the past year or so I have been painfully neglecting a good friend of mine. I wrote all about it in a poem a couple of months ago.
The friend I'm referring to is the gym. I've been neglecting the gym.
So in return for my abandonment, I have earned myself an extra 10 lbs- distributed rather evenly throughout my lower body.
Of course, I didn't know this (about the 10 lbs)- until I made that huge, inevitable leap- and returned to the gym.
This was this evening.
I went with a friend from work. We did some cardio for about an hour- then hit up some yoga, where the instructor was both brutal and malicious. In other words- the yoga kicked our ass.
And I feel good. For now. I'm sure I will be barely able to walk for the next 3 days. But for now- I feel good.
And I've made a goal. I want to lose those 10 lbs. by Halloween. It's a lofty goal- as I don't think I have ever achieved a weight goal before. But I've also never gained so much at a time (a year, I know it's not THAT bad)- but it is for me!
So this means I'll be hitting the gym 3 days a week (I don't think my schedule could stand for more), and I'll be changing my diet. No more pizza, no more hamburgers, and no more pasta/bread past 6pm.
Something tells me Jon is going to lose some weight too.
So I guess I'm posting this here so that others know about it and so that I feel accountable. I think I read that somewhere. If you've set a high goal for yourself that you REALLY want to reach- tell lots of people about it. It'll make you more likely to stick to it.
So hopefully by Halloween you will all see a sleeker, slimmer Becky.
And don't anyone think about asking me out for ice cream!
