Monday Random
I'm joining a gym TODAY. I haven't gained any weight in the last year or so, I've been fluctuating by about 5 lbs.... but somehow I still feel fatter than ever. F(_)CK THAT.
So I'm joining a gym today.
And I'm gonna kick my own ass because damnit I want kids within the next 5 years and I'm not going to handicap myself by going into it 30lbs overweight.

Re: Monday Random
Good luck at the gym! You have a great reason for it, and you'll have fun once you get there.
A happy random from me -
This weekend I realized that I really am happy with my life. I complain a lot about wanting to move out and get a house, but our apartment really is not that bad. I think I'm getting caught up in the rat race and forgetting to appreciate what we have. We have three years until we plan to even start trying to get pregnant... so what's the rush? I need to chill out. When I do, I realize how good I have it. I'm hoping to hold on to the happy feelings for the entire week.
Heck yeah, thats exactly what I want to look like.
Currently Reading: Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes
I think thats my problem- I've just lost (what little) tone I already had and its seriously confusing because right now I'm inbetween sizes, but at one of my lowest weights since high school.... things just fit oddly and I feel way fatter than when I was 10 lbs heavier.
I *have* been eating like *** since Thanksgiving...
I'm so over it. Time to kick this biitch once and for all.
I'm so glad you posted this, because I feel the exact same way. After work on Wednesday, I'm rejoining the Y. I did so much better there than I did at one of the big glitzy gyms. I'll also know what's going on with my elbow tomorrow so I can lift weights again.
I fell off my good eating bandwagon in late January when BF and I had birthdays back-to-back. I haven't stopped indulging ever since. Blech.
I actually had people tell me before I was pregnant with DS that I should give up all of the healthy hooey that I engaged in because when I got KU'd* I'd just "gain 80 pounds anyway." Yes, the 80 pound number was quotes to me more than once.
I am so incredibly happy that I got into shape before we started TTC. When I was pregnant, I felt pretty weak and uncomfortable and a little helpless. I had to almost completely stop working out while I was pregnant because of some minor complications. Adding out of shape to that sounds patently unpleasant. I'm really glad that I went into it feeling strong.
*they just assumed that I wanted children because I live in Dumb Little Town and thinking that people don't want exactly what they want hurts their dumb little heads.
1) I'm hoping we get something about the new wellness plan for DH's work and it contains something about a gym membership. If it doesn't, I am hoping I get the job I'm up for because they have a gym on site, you just have to have a consultation with their onsite trainer in order to get access. I would totally be up for it.
2) There's a new-ish Italian place near us, it has a cured meats menu--this makes me want to go there asafp.
I would cut people for a gym on site. Good luck on the job either way, but the on site gym would make me do very immoral things to work there!
I may never recover from that bikini picture, Premier. Never.
Good luck SCC ... I totally feel you on the fluctuating but feeling fatter thing. That's how I've been lately especially since going off the pill. The last few days of my period and few days directly after, I feel skinny and hot. Then slowly, for the next 3 weeks, I retain water till I feel like a stuffed sausage and look ridiculous. Rinse. Repeat. Ew.
