Bummed, but NOT DEFEATED!!

Madeara is kind of bummed today. At her weekly weigh-in, she has gained 2 lbs. since last Friday!! It's okay, though - she's still on track for an average weight loss of 2 lbs. per week, but it still pisses her off. She could talk about the water-weight gain and bloating associated with being a woman of a certain age, but she won't bore you with that. She will continue on her quest with attitude and determination!! GO RAPTORS!!!

Reality check.

I joined 24hr Fitness at Mall 205! Go me! So far so good. When signing up they asked if I wanted the free fitness assessment. Um, no thanks. I know I'm out of shape. Don't want to hear your professional opinion.

I feel like I'm doing a good job until I see an elderly woman doing the same things as me and lifting the same amount of weights. And she's not breathing hard.
