crash

Well- I downloaded some Workout Dvds to work out everyday and have committed to doing as much as I can everyday to get moving.
In the past I have always just gone to the gym- but seeing as I live in Buenos Aires now.. It’s not that simple.
There is this HUGE population of beautiful and weight obessed women that prowl around the gym in next to nothing. They are mainly just waiting for men to come up to them and tell them that their body is flawless……
The gym doesn’t seem like the right place for me.

I decided to do it on my own. I know it’s more difficult to find the motivation to work out if you do it at home (I used to have an elliptical that became a “closet” and I would hang all of my clothing on it.)
But I figure if I stay motivation, stay active, and eat clean- I can stay on the right path.

My motivation: TO BE FREE IN MY SKIN.

I say “free” because I feel like this weight is holding me back from getting out there more. Yes, I took a HUGE leap living in a different country and learning the language, but this weight is holding me back from other things like hiking, going to the beach because of the horrendous terror that I have of getting into a bathing suit….
I want to get to the place I want to be and stay. No crash diet, lifestyle change.

Anyways, I did my little workout this morning of Tae bo cardio and yoga….
OF COURSE I should have stretched and taken my time with it- but know I have pulled my groin…..
fantastic.
I guess that means I will be taking it easy for the next couple of days- I will continue my yoga but avoid the “trouble area”..
Maybe by the end of the weekend I will be back in action.

Besos!

Long story short…. I received a random email from BuddySlim in my inbox the other day and decided to read over the old posts and commitments I had made…
realized that I haven’t moved forward.
I live in Argentina now- so it’s a little bit harder for me to stay focused on losing weight…
I downloaded some workout Dvds (yoga and cardio) and I guess I just need some inspiration and motivation to eat right.

I feel uncomfortable in my skin as I am surrounded by beautiful women… I wish I could look in the mirror and love what I see.

I’m going to push it on my workout… maybe the endorphines will make me feel better
