Work hard and you will definitely see results. But it doesn't mean that everyone who works hard at losing weight and working out and being healthy is going to have a body like that!!
I know that images like that are meant to encourage people to get off their asses and workout, but for people like me, it's so discouraging. Never will I have a body like that. I guess that's ok... I mean, I'm not 100% ok with it, but whatcha going to do?? It'll never happen without massive amounts of plastic surgery and complete obsession with diet and exercise (like, WAY more than now). And scars.. oh the scars. (Which... I still want my arms done. But realistically, it'll never happen.)
I wish there would be more pics of thicker women (as I've stated before) doing things like this.
Just after I finished writing this, a clip from the CrossFit Regionals was posted on FaceBook and one of the judges was a bit "thicker". I THINK that the judges have to be CF certified coaches, but I'm not sure. Anyway, it was awesome to see her there.. until some dill hole had to make a comment about her weight (on the Facebook post). Makes me sad. But kudos to the CrossFit HQ people for deleting what that guy said... and looks as if they deleted him from their fan page as well.

On the homefront: Therapy blows. No wonder I've quit this shit so many times. Except this time, the lady just jumped right in and is already to the point that some took months to get to--and we've only met twice. I guess that's good, though usually this is the point when I quit because it's just a lot easier not to deal with it. Maybe this time will be the exception.. I really want to be a better and happier person. My kids deserve it.. And according to the shrink, I do, too.
Still plugging away at the gym. I swore that today I was going to go in the afternoon, but I was wide awake at 5am, so I went ahead and went in. Probably would've had a better workout this afternoon, but oh well. I'll make up for it tomorrow.
One thing I haven't posted about (only because the posts that I made while I was gone didn't post)... The husband is starting CrossFit!! I'm not really sure WHY but he is. Friends in NYC talked him into it and he said he'd do it for 3mo. He starts the fundamentals classes on Monday! (The fundamentals classes just teach you the basic moves and stuff so you don't kill yourself!) It's actually a pretty big sacrifice on my end b/c it's 5 nights of him not being home for dinner/bedtime. But if it means something we can do together--AWESOME! This weekend, he's actually going with me to a weightlifting competition to see my old CrossFit coach. Obviously, the kids are going, too. They love Coach J.
