Today was a difficult day. Let me tell you about it. I went to the gym and had a great workout. I hadn't gone for a few days because I had met with Lisa for a free session and she told me my shoulder soreness and knee aches were due to working out with too much weight improperly. I worked biceps and triceps and did ad/abduction legs and thrusts. I was in pain, left shoulder and elbow and lowered the weight significantly. Tried a preworkout supplement for the first time that sent me through the roof but crashed on later.
But that's not why the day was difficult. I went to Target to try on swim suits. Truth be told, I approach swimsuits with tactics like finding the right fit and cut for my body. Yet when I went into the 360 and stripped down, I saw someone that I didn't really know. I tried not to study too hard, but nothing fit well (that's Target for ya) and the 15 lbs I've gained in the last 2 months showed. I felt not only unsexy, but older then my 25 years. I pondered if I had always felt this way in these 360's and realized that for the last few years..I had.
This was a turning point for me today. I can envision my body muscled, defined, lean, and strong. I feel like I'm in someone else's body. I've always thought that my genetics would stop me from being all these things (genetically fat butt) and have stopped trying to change my genetics with hard work. I am young and feeling bad about my body NOW doesn't make sense. I have the power to create my body, through hardwork and determination.
I like this bet idea. I bet I can lose 7 lbs in a month, maybe even more. I've decided that the winnings money will be reinvested to a personal trainer and another month on dietbet. I don't have to wish that my body looked different, it can be! I love that there is a community here, with in this game. Although this post is personal, I'll share it because we're all in this together.
Let the game begin ! :)
