Today was an overall good day. It started quite in a rush, since my alarm decided to not ring (or did I turn it off and not noticed it?) and I woke up at 10:15 AM. So yeah, quite late for work! So I had to skip breakfast and just bite on some cookies I have on my drawer at work.
Everything was going well and me and my roomie (who is also my coworker) decided to go eat japanese food for lunch.
OMG! I just love it! It is so tasty! And not that bad for your health... except for the soy sauce! Damn, I think it is what make my sodium count go to the roof! I guess next time I'll ask for some light soy sauce...
The afternoon was pure boredom. I had nothing to do at work, so I kept reading and checking out SparkPeople website. The website is not boring, mind ya, but it is quite annoying to fear that your boss is gonna yell at you for surfing the internet all day long even though you had nothing else to do. Sometimes I feel like I'm underused at work. And it makes me wonder if they are doing that because they plan on letting me go or if they think I am not good enough to have more responsibility. Or maybe I am just too fast and finish things quickly and end up with too much free time on my hands at work.
Oh well, I digress.... at the end of my workday, I was thinking about how I had to go to the gym to workout and that I felt like I was getting worn out of going to Curves. Just because it was the same exercise everyday and nothing changed... So I started wondering if I should switch it for a normal gym.
I've always loved gym, even though I've always ended up quittingt after a few months because I was lazy to show up. But when I did, I liked it so much, that I'd end up staying for 2, sometimes 3 hours exercising there... I love all the different classes they have in the gym, especially classes that involve some kind of choreography, like step, dance or jump.
Why did I choose Curves over a common gym if I love that variety so much? That is easy to answer.... Common gyms are not for fat people and they make it clear from the very beggining. From scales that only measures up to 110 kg to making you walk on treadmills instead of attending that step class you just love. From the shop that only sells up to L t-shirts to all the guys and girls showing off their bodies and staring at your overweight self as if you were an alien. Yes, I am fat... and yes, I am exercising to stop being fat! IS THAT SO WEIRD??
So yeah, that is why I ended up choosing Curves. Even though I feel kinda weird being one of the few overweight girls there, I actually feel welcomed. The trainers treat me like a normal girl and they make me work hard as much as they make the thin girls work, so I don't have to feel as if everyone is looking at me with fear that I fall over with a heart attack. I know my limits, I don't need anyone to tell me what I should or shouldn't do.
So, with all that in mind, I went to Curves... and decided to have my measures taken, so I could post it up here in the website. I haven't had it taken since I joined Curves, well, because basicaly, I was slacking off up to three weeks ago and I knew nothing had changed. But I knew that my work in the last 3 weeks must have resulted in something good... What was my surprise? I expect some drops, but not this much!
I THREW AWAY 15,5 CM TOTAL AND 4 KG!
And with that, I was one of the top 10 biggest losers from my Curves unit :D
And I got all the clapping, the pictures and one of the first Curves magazines they just released here in Brazil. Talk about a motivation boost! Hehe, that made me want to work out extra hard, so I can see the results next month! I hope to be one of the biggest losers again :D And it also made me forget about wanting to quit Curves... lol
