Fat, Fit Girl at the Gym

August 7, 2010

Happy Saturday!

Today is Biggest Loser day in Louisville, and I really, really appreciate everyone’s comments and discussions from the post I wrote about my situation with it.  I completely understand both sides: those who are supportive of the decision and those who are telling me I’m crazy- I completely get it! In the end though, I am sticking to my guns and not going. I truly feel this is the right decision for me at this time.

Anyway, this morning I had a session with Trainer Rob. He took me through a new weight training program that I can integrate into my workouts. I really like it! Check out the video of a few moves from the gym.

You know what’s interesting? I usually CRINGE when I see these kinds of videos. Today? Nah. I know I worked hard, and no matter what I looked like in the video, it’s a snapshot in time of my progress, and it’s something to be PROUD of and not ashamed of.

    WTG girl! Looking good! I love doing any type of activity with weights on the gym ball. It helps work your core that much more!

    you're doing amazing! I hear ya about the video and how it IS a snapshot. I love knowing that it's where I am NOW, not forever.

    Hey, it's now how trainer Rob talks through each of the exercises and explains why to do things a certain way! Very helpful and cool video! Not to mention, it's great motivation. One of your earlier posts got me back in the gym after 3-4 weeks away. I actually went every single day this week…a record!

    Thanks again for your posts, you're awesome and a motivation to a lot of people if the comments are any indication!

    I feel like i just got a mini training session! This is fun to watch because I am a similar size and some other videos show the “skinny” girls on those balls doing crazy things that look like I would break myself if I tried. Keep posting these, and keep up with the good work, Im right behind you :)

    P.S. Any tips on where to get the cute workout clothes?

    Wow, am glad you posted that video! It really shows how hard you are working and also the dedication you have to getting fit! (It’s also a reminder that I’ve been slacking in the fitness area and need to get on-the-ball..) Keep it up!

    Oh my God! You become more of an inspiration to me every day! I filmed 2 videos od me working out with my trainer doing kick boxing stuff. When he sent them to me I freaked out, said some horrible things about myself and refused to let anyone see them! What do I see when I watch your video…someone doing a kick ass workout and getting fitter and stronger, thought it was really cool! Keep up the amazing work!!

    Be proud always, you are doing a great job. There are only few people who have succeed in losing weight and I’m sure you will with the kind of determination you are showing us. I hope you’ll continue to inspire more people.
