I am back! :)

My backpain was terrible. Couldn’t walk, sit or sleep properly for almost a week but I started feeling normal again yesterday and today I feel allot better. I did not eat properly and did not get any exercise. So I am not proud of that. However, today I spoke to a friend of mine who is coming to visit me on Monday in the city for the day. She told me that she weighed herself at the gym and didn’t like what she saw on the scale. So she did this online survey thing and it told her her age according to her stats is 33. She is 25. Now, she has a normal body i.e no tummy flab, short-shorts thighs and no flabby arms. So she kind of annoyed me a little when she told me that she was going to lose weight. Mostly because I know she will. What is even more crazy is that she got her boyfriend to take snap shots of her body and then in 2 months she will take pictures again for a before and after synopsis. Well, my goal weight is 2 months. I am competitive. And for some strange reason especially with her. I mean yes, I did need a kick up my ass to get me back on track. But, I don’t want to do this only because she is.  I mean i am not in high school, i should be over this phase.

Somehow she gets to me. But at the same time I like being her friend. It is weird I dont know how to describe it. Reason why she gets to me is because I was friends with her when I lost my first 30 kg. She was always the thin one. And then, suddenly we could share clothes and I got all the attention. But, she is the tight jeans, booby tops and practically scanty clothes. I didn’t dare look at those clothes because I knew I would look silly. Then things happened and I gained weight again, not all of it - thank goodness! Now, I have almost half of the weight to lose. She doesn’t know anything about my blog or my goals. I haven’t told anyone except my fiance and another friend. But that is it. I just do not want to lose to her. It is NOT an option. Ok, obviously I have issues to go through here but I know tackling my weight is a huge one for me.

I haven’t been training in a week. But, since I am meeting the friend on Monday and also going to the gym with her - I am going to use these next 3 days to get fit. Even if it does mean that I have to get up at 6am to do a spin class!
