Punched in the gut!

Posted by: Fat Pants In: Health

There’s a lot for me to catch up on!
My birthday was good and bad. DH and I had a great time on Friday - I had the baseball cut new york steak (seasoned with an olive oil/italian herb crust). I think we did ok - steak, a shared salad, and just one amaretto sour. Either [...]

Urgh

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I forgot that my office celebrates birthdays so I was given a slice of chocolate cake today when we celebrated mine. I should have just had that for lunch, but then a coworker offered to take me out for lunch… I think I did ok. We went to the Spicy Pickle where I had [...]

It’s a miracle!

First thanks for all the comments on my previous post about the personal trainer. It makes me feel like I’m not crazy!!! I totally agree with round …. for personal trainers, working out and being healthy is their life. It’s their job. So it may be realistic for them to work out several times a [...]

Personal Trainer Blues

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Well yesterday I had my second session with the PT (this was the 2nd out of two free sessions you get for joining the gym). The first one I had last Wednesday was great. She worked me out really hard. This time? I was so disappointed.
I got to the gym just before my 3:30 appt. [...]

Bloat, bloat, bloat your boat…

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

It’s TOM and after Mother’s day/birthday festivities all weekend, I’m avoiding the scale until Friday morning. Next Sunday is my birthday and I’d love to be down to 201 but it will take a lot of discipline between now and then to get there. So far, so good. We had a great weekend - saw [...]

I didn’t know you could hurt this much

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Granted, I have never given birth, so this may be a walk in the park compared to labor, but still. My legs are KILLING me. Our heating pad mysteriously disappeared so I was stuck with IcyHot last night for my legs. They are still hurting really bad this morning. SQUATS ARE THE DEVIL!
The hardest part [...]

Vacations and such

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

As if a sign from God…. the Victoria’s Secret swimsuit catalog arrived in the mail yesterday, addressed to me. I didn’t even order it. It’s a sign!
First things first. Upon arriving to the gym yesterday, the owner approached me and asked if I wanted to enter their contest. Um, NO. But then he explained a [...]

I take that back

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

I took extra time to do my makeup today, and I feel really good about the way it turned out. Maybe I’m aging well, after all.

Getting my bearings

Posted by: Fat Pants In: General

Wow, I feel like so much happened since I left work yesterday! It was a long afternoon/evening.
So I went to the gym and got in a good 35 minute workout before I had to meet with my personal trainer, Sara. The exciting part about my cardio is that I lasted 15 minutes on the crosstrainer… [...]
