I dragged my exhausted butt to the gym yesterday. It was AWFUL! I was so tired and I'm even more tired today because for some odd reason I didn't sleep well. I managed to do 45 minutes on the elliptical and burn 350 cals. At the gym some guy asked me if I was a long distance runner. He says I had that "look." I'll take it as a compliment because those runners are super lean and fit. They say being underweight takes it's toll on your body and you age faster. I saw this lady that does what seems like hours on the spinning bike. She has veins in her arms and is pretty skinny. You can tell she is in shape but she still has this old skinny lady broken down look about her. She is shaped like a 12 year old boy and is only about 5' or so with no chest or hips to speak of. I definitely don't ever want to look like her. I'm more athletic then hourglass but I won't ever look like a little boy. I just don't want that broke down aging starved look. My hope was renewed when I saw this super lean lady in 7-11 this morning. You could tell she was older but she was tall, slim, feminine and looked good. Not all broken down. That's how I want to look. Although, really I'd love it if I could get to an age where I just don't give a damn.
I'm going back to the gym again today. I have to. Hubby made Spaghetti with whole wheat pasta and chicken sausage for dinner. Bless his heart he only fixed me a small portion. He says he knew that's all I would want. It was really yummy and my stomach started growling right after I ate it. Then, for dessert I had Dryer's Vanilla light ice cream. It has only 100 cals for 1/2 cup and tastes way more indulgent then it is. Because I went to the gym I didn't feel bad about going into the 900's. I was so tired that I was in bed by 9pm and just hoped for the best today on the scale. It did go down so I'm happy. It will motivate me to go on back to the gym even though all I will want to do is drive straight home today. I went #2 again this morning. That's several days in a row now without a miss. Awesome!
i don't think it's underweight that makes you old looking I think it's undernourished. So like as long as the things you do eat are on the healthier side then you should be pretty okay. But if you're worried about it I also know that wearing makeup to bed and drinking age your skin.
ReplyDeleteAwesome compliment you got! That had to have made you feel good. : )
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work! I really find you very inspiring. You do so well with moderation. I have to admit I'm a bit jealous.
i wish i was making it to the gym like you are! keep it up!
ReplyDeleteis there an age where you don't give a damn?
ReplyDeletewow, what an amazing compliment!!! obviously you deserve it for the effort you've been putting in.
gotta love that fiber, you're on a roll. that's a major part of feeling good.
keep up the good work :)
hugs,

that's an awesome compliment! I did cross country for 3 years, and all the varsity runners were so tall, lean and toned! I was so jealous of them! But yeah, super hardcore runners and ballet dancers can start to age prematurely because of all the cardio, which wears down their cells instead of keeping them healthy like moderate users. nice job on the persistence at the gym! <3RaeLynn
