Just joined fitClick and am cool with it so far. I want to get in shape for a trip to the florida keys that I plan on taking on March 20th. This blog is my catharsis. It is the weight-loss-bitching puke I intend to dump here online for complete strangers to read so that I don't spend the next six weeks complaining to my boyfriend about trying to lose weight, body issues, and all the unattractive crap that men have no interest in. My roomates could probably do without weight-loss daily novela as well.
I've never actually set a weight-loss or fitness "goal" and acheived it. Although I've never been particularily fat or overweight, at least not by my average-somewhat-americanized-latina-chick standards. I guess the incentive was never really there because I never had trouble getting a date or fitting into airplane seats. Nevertheless, it's time to take control. I'm tired of my weight and body type being something unpredictable and random--like some weird voodoo body-sculpting spell that just changes my body from curvy to thin to pudgy-love-handle fabulous on a whim. Sometimes I'm not even sure if it's my actual body that changes or just my frame of mind; it's like every mirror I own is a fun-house mirror because my perception of my body is constantly being shaken up. So I've turned to science. Hopefully the internet, calorie counters, weight charts, scales, etc can do the perceiving for me from now on and I can give the yo-yo of cosmo induced self-scrutiny a rest.
p.s. just bought a gym membership from the university! I'm gonna go tonight so hopefully I don't get any weird looks from the buff weight-lifting dudes or toned yoga chicks. I'm afraid of running into people like this dude lol ----> [see pic above]
anyway... wish me luck!
