Still really tired

We've done the belly dancing DVD twice now and I think tomorrow will be a Zumba day just to give the bellydancing muscles a rest.  I will probably regret that though. 

It seems like the universe is against a healthy lifestyle.  First, we get told no workout room. Then, we go to get a TV from a library and the only one they have that will hook up to a DVD player only plays in black and red.  Then, We try to hook up the DVD player and it won't play on the TV--we only get sound.  So we work out on a DVD with a 9" screen, but we have been faithful to our commitment. 

The next plan is:
  • See if we can get the LGI as a large room to use.
  • Find a DVD player that will hook up to the station in the LGI
  • Find some other friends to join us!!!

I feel useless & we've hit our first snag--Lawyers SUCK

I am really tired.  I am so going to bed early.  I can't wait until this makes us feel better with more energy, but in the mean time I FEEL LIKE CRAP.  I can barely get dinner on the table and Matt had to finish up tonight because I just couldn't do anymore.  If it weren't for the "Family Dinner"  I would go to bed right now.  I made it through the first week. 

Now, on to the snag...
We can't use the equipment for "a few weeks"  (read: until Christmas) because we haven't been trained and haven't signed a waiver.  No one knows when we will be able to use the equipment, but they will let us know.  I swear the universe wants me fat and unhealthy, but we aren't giving up. 

The plan:  Get DVD's and find a room (probably my office) and power through until the room is ready.  Who knows when that will be, but we aren't giving up.  Not yet at least...

Chubby Chasers ROCK!!!

chubby chaser

A person of any sexuality who is attracted to another person who is overweight. Similar to chunky monkey.
Tom is a chubby chaser, he only really wants heavy women. Andy, also a chubby chaser, is only into overweight guys. His sister shares these desires, so they love to go checking out guys together.
I just want to thank the GOOD LORD above for chubby chasers.  These guys give us fat chicks hope for love.  I have a wonderful husband who thinks my fluffy self is the sexiest thing that walks.  Very cool. 

Workout #2 OMG

I AM SOOOOO TIRED!  We did the same workout today.  I am walking around on jelly legs--not so fun.  tomorrow is the last day this week.  From what I hear, these workouts will kick my ass for several weeks and I won't feel good for a while.  Then it gets better.  Let's hope better comes sooner rather than later.

Wow! Really?

So last night we were on our way to the Astros game just as it is beginning to rain.  I'm driving and I'm looking out and the rain is coming down, but is that something moving up?  What's that?  Is it raining kind of sideways, as well as, down?  Did I just enter the Matrix?!
No, it's steam--coming off the road. It's making fog while the rain is POURING down.  I'm driving in it. 

We live in a sauna.

Our fitness test was off the charts!!!

The bottom of the chart that is.  Wow!  As Michelle put it, I've abused and neglected my body and now it's out for retribution.  I WILL PAY! 
We did the fitness test on the elliptical.  The lowest fitness rating was A6--very low.  I think we were so bad that the machine couldn't even register results. We managed a 45 minute workout with fat burning and cardio--a pretty good start for a first day.

My goal is:
3 workouts a week for the rest of August & September.

That's it.  That's about all I can do for now...
