Gathering thoughts

I am trying to gathering my thoughts in regards to the reactions I recieved from my last post. I need to step back and let it all sink in because right now I don't really know what to say. I have written it many times but somehow the words are not forming into what I want them to mean.

I will respond with my thoughts soon, I promise!

In the mean time yesterday was my first "Biggest Loser" session as I had to miss Tuesday due to unforseen circumstances. The class was FANTASTIC! It was nice to get out and do lunges and pushups and circuts and running. My legs are a bit sore today but the session was wonderful. Women of all different shapes and sizes were there and even smiling, it was very refreshing and the for the first time in a long time I felt like I wasn't so alone!

Have a great weekend everyone!

I think "social exercise" is good for the soul!

Poor Syl! You really got an earful with all of that advice.

To thine own self be true, baby!

(((Syl))) You know your own body. And I'm confident that while you have your goal set at 120, if you get to 125 and feel like that's a perfect fit, you'll stop.

Don't worry about what everyone has to say. Do your thing girl! You've done it so well to this point!

Hope you have a great weekend Syl.

Cool about the BL session. I'm finding I push myself a little bit more (OK alot with the instructor yelling in my ear), than I do when I'm exercising on my own.
Good for you for getting out there.
Is this at a local gym (NW)?
Oh, and they are opening a Bikram Hot Yoga up by MarketMall soon if you are interested in ever trying it.

Sounds like an awesome class Syl. I like what Debbie said. To thine own self be true.

Have a great weekend!

Glad you got in an awesome class yesterday. And I bet you were busy yesterday ;)

I think I know how you're feeling. Just yesterday we had friends over and we were discussing my exercising and weight loss and such. They commented that I look great where I am, I don't need to lose more weight ... I should be careful not to go overboard. Then the wife said that she's jealous and would love to look like me. And that there is the key ... for her, my size is her ideal - but it's not MY ideal. She's fairly overweight and completely out of shape. So for her to get to where I am would be awesome.

But FOR ME .... I want to be somewhere else and I really believe I can do it. I have a layer of fat on my body that I do not want and I'm willing to put in the time and effort to get rid of it.

I know myself and I know that I'm not unrealistic and I know that I'm never EVER going to be anorexic or anything. And I also know that I'm smart enough to change my goals if I realize they aren't attainable ... and you are too, that I'm totally confident of.

Don't question yourself. They're YOUR goals and you're figuring it all out as you go along and doing a mighty fine job of it too!

Syl do what you think is best concerning your weight. Your a smart woman and I'm sure you'll stop when you think it's enough. Wheater that's at 130, 125 or 120 lbs. It's your body, you have to live with it and you have to feel comfortable in it.

Your workout sounds lots of fun. Glad you enjoyed it!

I just read your last post and girl, good for you! It's a big step to put your pic out there like that and yes, it holds you accountable! I'm excited that I found your blog and I can't wait to watch your progress! Keep it up!
