You know what? Sometimes I am tired of talking about us, us, US = PLUS SIZE. I wonder if I define myself to much as a Plus Size and will not be able to define myself otherwise.
I’ll tell you why. 10 days ago I started exercising during the week. 3 hours of Socaramba and Afrocaribdance on Saturday is a little hard core when you do nothing else during the week.
So.... after going 6 months to Goodlife Fitness and paying 12 months, you know what I mean, I wanted to try something FREE and EASY to go to.
I started with Chuck, my boss (he is a bit “different” like all of us in this job), climbing stairs. IT SOUNDS EASY? Thing is, we are on the main floor and there is 17 FLOORS. Yep 17!
Chuck does it 3 times. Up and down, up and down, up and down.... with weights and push ups at each end. And there’s a rule: you have to touch the door with your finger on the main floor and on the 17th floor! Told you: he is different.
So here I went. Super SLOWLY. Almost died on the 5th floor. But eventually made it to the top.
I did it every day for 10 days and as always almost died on the .....5th floor!
As if it was not enough, I added some jogging with neighbour Natalie.
Oh I forgot to tell you: I want to lose weight!
Guess what happened:
1. I have back pain from... probably doing a bit too much exercise. I am not as young as you anymore. Natalie, don’t say a word, I know what you think. YOU TOLD ME.
2. I lost 4 pounds in 10 days. I was so happy but for whatever reason went to a Chinese buffet yesterday and had pizza and cake tonight! So it is probably all back in.
So, back to my purpose, I think that losing weight scares me to death. I don’t see any other reason for my behaviour. What would I do with BellesPlus if I was skinny (although it would take me some time to get there)? What would I wear? Would I look like everybody else? Would I lose my “difference”? Funny when they say that we are now the majority!!!
At least nobody will dare to say that I am lazy!!!
See you soon,
