Had a decent night last night. I did not have my "discussion" with Dave because he is having surgery today (right now actually!) on his trigger finger and I did not want to blow his gig the night before his surgery. I did let him know that we
WILL be talking about it but I gave him a little reprieve. I wimped out for dinner and had a lean cuisine which was actually pretty tasty. It had been a long time since I had one. It was the chicken artichoke panini. I used to eat them more often but now just have them as back up.
I have to pick up Dave when he gets out of recovery. I was hoping to get to the gym after work tonight. I have teryaki salmon planned for dinner. Last night I used the medicine ball and did 100 reps of arm exercises. I highly recommend getting one because you can use it anywhere and it really does strengthen your arm muscles with regular use. I got mine at
Big 5 but you can find them almost anywhere.
If I get to the gym, I want to do some cardio and I would also like to check out the pool. I need to get over the fear of being in public in a swimsuit. My reservations are two-fold: One is being overweight and the other one is my
NLD. I just need to keep telling myself that no one cares. I am there to get healthy and the heck with them if they stare, right? Right! Until next time...
Hope Dave heals quickly!
ReplyDeleteKudos on working on getting over public bathing suits. I am SOOOOOOOOO far away from desiring to even TRY that. My knees just started knockin' thinking about it! OMG!!!!!
Interestingly, I'm at a size now where I don't mind the shape of my body as much, so I'd wear a bathing suit. Problem is that I have very saggy, crinkly, loose inner upper thigh skin (and it's saggy in the torso/boobies/upper arms, but hey, a bathing suit really focuses on those thighs.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to wear a swim dress or a triathlon type bodysuit that's like a tank and shorts combined. No way the public will see my elephant crinkle inner thighs. My upper arms are enough of a saggy sight. ; )
But I do intend to swim again. I'll find a way this summer!
Oh, this is kinda what i mean:

Great idea on the medicine ball - I think that store is like our Below 5, where nothing is over $5?
ReplyDeleteYou are in control of your own life Katie, and you have to do what makes you happy! I hope you find the strength to stand up for yourself! I am here if you need to talk off line - just email me at mybizzykitchen@gmail.com.
Hugs!
One thing to remember about swimming is that once you're in the water, the flabby bits are hidden...which is why I get in pretty quick, even though the water is not always warm, lol!
