My favorite workout character is the one that smokes before and after their run. That’s some serious Feng Shui .

You Can Do More Than You Think You Can
I was finishing with my trainer. Turns out I like Middle Eastern men to boss me around in love and gym. To the right a thirty something woman leaps to her feet and yells, “I did it! I did a push-up!”. She jumped up and down a few more times and then hugged her trainer. You can do more than you think you can do. We’re right there with you.

I can’t really fault you for sitting naked on the locker room bench after your shower. But…before?

100 Push-Ups
PayanX has a 100 push-up challenge that drives me crazy with envy. I’m up to 40 in a row then break and start again. I sure hope he didn’t mean 100 a minute. Lordy. #DoAndTheScaleWillFollow

Violence
I was growling at no weight loss this week. The Weight Watchers team leader started giving me her pep talk and the woman weighing me in knew I was about to put hands around her ‘today is a new day’ neck.

Stairs
Equinox Gym makes you walk up 1,700 flights of stairs to get to the treadmills. Taking the elevator would be bad, huh?

Intimidated
So, in case you don’t know I like to be the best at everything I do. I’m not the best at weight loss. I’m really not the best at working out. Sitting outside Equinox Gym watching Greek athletic gods come in and out. I’ve never been more intimidated to walk in a door. Do it anyway, You.

I’ve finally reached the place where the nuggets I want are health and energy. Pretty sure you don’t dip those in barbecue sauce.

Weight Watchers Convo
WW Leader: I'm so excited for you!
Me: Really? I'm not excited.
WW Leader: I'm not sure if you ever eat fast food.
Me: *trying not to laugh*
WW Leader: We have a great set of e-tools and you can always get a chicken breast at Pollo Loco and take the skin off.
Me: I like the skin.
WW Leader: And, if you go to the movies you can use your toaster oven (if I was 90 years old), slice apples and turn them into chips! You can even add Splenda and cinnamon!!!
Me: I'm really not excited.

Your Two Cents: Soda and Potatoes
One of the leading contributing factors to gaining pounds, according to those studies always coming out. Never heard anything good about soda, except that maybe Coke can shine chrome. Seriously? Luckily, I don’t have an affection for it. However, potatoes….well, they’re my arch nemesis. We all have one. I’m cheering you on!

Your Two Cents: H2O
Cannot underestimate the importance of drinking water. You will loathe the amount of trips to the restroom at first, but your body adjusts after a week and less trips are needed. A nutritionist once said to me, “Imagine each time you pee, you’re flushing away fat cells and toxins.” ;-)

What Motivates Me Today
I want to be the hot wife. I want to be the pretty mama. I want to look pregnant not questionable one day. I want to sleep well and dream sweetly. I don’t want to think every ache and pain is a pending heart attack and keep baby aspirin close by. I want to live without burden. This motivates me today. This is why I’m going to keep moving tonight.

Guest Post: Miss Taylor Cast Runs A Marathon
Today I took a cab to the gym…that I live walking distance from. Yes, I took a $5 cab ride to the gym. Does that defeat the purpose? Probably. Do I care? Not really. But I did feel a little embarrassed getting out of the cab. Next time I’ll make him drop me at the corner. It was 15 degrees out at 6am stop judging me.
