A Work-out Buddy. Two years ago when I joined the gym it was
actually for a purpose. One of my best friend’s had just had a gastric bypass
due to pre-diabetic conditions, possible future high blood pressure issues, and
sleep apnea. Her weight was about 400 lbs. I’ve known her for years and
honestly didn’t realize that her weight had climbed so high. But alas I think
she did a brave thing having the surgery and my plan was to go to the gym to
help her out and motivate her. That didn’t exactly happen as planned.
When my friend’s nephew was born she re-discovered her
sister. Instead of calling me to go to the gym she wound up just going with her
sister because they live together. They now are best friends and I am truly
happy she found her sister in her life, because it always wasn’t like that it
seemed in the 15 years I’ve known them. But alas…I have been replaced. I don’t have the heart to tell
her because I think she needed that bond w/ her sister and it really is
stronger than ever.
The two sisters now weigh less than me because they go to
the gym together almost everyday. But in my defense they live 4 minutes from
the gym, and their jobs are have flexible times where they can easily fit the
gym into their schedules. I do catch them time to time at the gym and it’s
great because it feels like old times, but it’s not as often as it should be. I
wish my work building had a gym…that would be awesome.
But now, CJ’s cousin lives by me now and she is looking for
a work-out buddy. I think I need that swift kick in the butt and maybe her and
I can help each other get motivated. She is 24, a bit of a spit-fire and
definitely I think an extra key to my successful diet plan…
She has a similar body like mine. Muscular from high
school/college sports w/ a some squish to loose. We aren’t trying to get lose
50 lbs or have Jillian Michaels abs, but we would like to be wearing a size or
two less, and POSSIBILY a bikini...I have never owned a bikini…I want to own
one this year or at least a tankini without wearing a swimsuit dress over it.
It’s time to break out and get the confidence flowing…
Ever since 2 weeks I
recognized I had to take it up yet another notch I’ve had some interesting
results…that will be PART 2 later. Stay Tuned…
Oh my! I need to get on an eating diet. Sometimes I forget to eat and that is so much more unhealthier that eating a bit too much. Thanks for your comments :) xo
