Weighing In

Wow, so this is the first blog in a while. I've had my 44th birthday, a great mini reunion with 4 friends from high school, and I've lost 12 pounds in the 6 weeks I've been going to my gym, and working with a personal trainer. His name is Thomas...really nice guy. I guess with me seeing myself all the time, I don't see changes happening in my body, but I do hear that I am, and with the scale telling me that progress is happening, I'm feeling even more determined to continue with my program, and lose as close to 50 pounds by Christmas. If I go over....total bonus!!!

The reunion....talk about wonderful! Rob, Kent, & Robin I've seen over the years at class reunions, but this was the first time I've seen Bobby since high school! He hasn't changed at all....well, we've all done that aging thing, and some of us are more cushiony, and have less hair, but the person is still the same! It was really good for me to make the trip to PA alone, and be able to be with my friends and talk about old times, and not have to worry about my Pat not having a clue as to what we're talking about. It was just really nice to have that time to myself with those people!!

I'm off to grocery shop now with the grandson! Not sure how that will go, but we'll take the challenge and run with it! ha ha! I meet with Thomas tonight for my hour of strength training, then the weekend will start! It's a long one for me, and I love it! I've got so much to do in this house it's not even funny!!!

Happy Labor Day to you all, and please be safe!!!

I don't get it!

Ok, I've been working all day in and outside of the house. Cutting grass, doing laundry, cleaning bathrooms, etc. My boyfriend went to the airport to pick up his brother who flew in from Texas, then they were going to the sportsbar to watch the first half the the Steeler game. I get a call from their father, wanting to know why I wasn't at the bar with them?? Are you kidding me??? I don't care of exhibition games. They don't count towards regular season, and I just didn't feel like going anywhere. I wanted to just sit on my ass and rest! Also, the guys don't see each other that much, so I'm giving them time to themselves! Sheesh! I do NOT need to be up my boyfriend's ass every second of the day, or any second for that matter. I do NOT have to do anything that I don't want to do! I'll be 44 yrs old next Saturday, and I'll be damned if I am about to cower to others. I am going to help their parents move to a smaller house tomorrow, and I'm bracing myself for "Let the guys move that", or "That's too much for you to do without help!" Pat's (my b/f) brothers are not the heavy moving type of guys. They are lazy actually, and I know I can do more than they can in any given day, not that I have to prove that to anyone, but they are the old fashioned type, and a woman should only do the cleaning, cooking, toilet scrubbing...you get my drift! I'm just hoping that I don't get too offended and just go off on someone! Oh well, just had to vent! I know I've posted something similar in the past, but this is just one of the things that I can't tolerate. I'm able to do a lot of things that some men wouldn't even begin to do. Lord help me tomorrow!!

Weighing in....

So, tonight is another night with my personal trainer. This will be the beginning of my 4th week with Thomas. I've had a couple of weeks with just 2 sessions, so I don't feel much difference, but I'm told I look like I'm losing weight. Sure, you're just saying that, right? I wonder.... are they just being nice, and making me stay on the right track, or are they serious. I don't see a change, but my eyes have never looked at me the same way other people have. I am the first to be really critical of my looks, weight, etc. I really am not happy with any of it, and for those that don't know me, there's so many reasons why! I'm hoping that as I lose weight, I'll change my tune about me! It's been 44 years of me feeling this way, and I know I need to change.
