No one, including myself, could ever imagine that it would be so easy for me to gain so much weight in so little time. I guess it's true what they say. The older you get, the harder it gets.
I've been working my butt off at the gym. 5-6 days a week of running and doing weights to maintain my weight. I've lost a few pounds, but still have about 10 more pounds to go. That may not seem like a lot, but it is.
I am proud, to say the least because I am finally doing something about it and actually LIKING it. To see results is so rewarding. For a long time I was in denial about my weight. I gained a couple of pounds and I said, "It's okay. I needed it." My BMI would tell me I am at my average weight. Just a few more pounds and I would be considered, "overweight". Ironically, that didn't scare me until all my clothes started to feel snug. When I went to visit some friends I haven't seen in months one of them said to me upon seeing me, "Damn girl! You've got some happy weight on you, huh?"
That pretty much did it for me. I gotta thank him for that though. I also have to thank my friend, Fung, for pushing me. My cousin, Trang, for encouraging me. I plan to keep this up even after I reach my goal because I'm beginning to feel better about myself. Health wise, it's good to keep doing this.
It may be a bit too soon to decide this, but I am looking at signing up for a half marathon in the Fall. Crazy, right? Yeah, I know. There are a lot of people who are skeptical. Only a handful think I can do it. The fact that people are skeptical makes me want to do it even more. Just because I want to prove to them that I can. I'm still debating, but will make my decision in a month.
