Today I pushed myself so hard to get myself to the gym. After going to bed at 2am and waking up at 8am, all I wanted to do was go home and take a nap, but I pushed myself to take the exit to the gym on the highway... I really just wanted to go tanning for the Aruba trip coming up, but then I thought, "ok i'm here, get moving..." Then it was about 25 minutes into my elliptical workout when one of my oldest friend's girlfriends happened to come up on the machine next to me. THANK GOD! I was so unmotivated, but having her to talk to next to me, the time just seemed to fly by, and I stayed on for a whole hour. It's been a long time since an hour elliptical workout. But it felt like nothing because I had a buddy to talk to. Then afterwards she pushed me to do the half hour circuit training and I felt like I was dead to the world, she pushed me to do legs and go over to the "men's domain." I'm always so intimidated by the free weight area where men are doing squats and grunting (and looking at themselves in the mirrors). I always thought that I worked out better on my own, but I would have done my half hour elliptical and then been on my way. I'm so happy I had someone to motivate me, I really needed it today. By 4pm I had already burned close to 1800 calories. It was crazy, I haven't been this happy with a workout in awhile. We exchanged numbers and plan on meeting up on Monday too. I guess she needs a little motivation too. But if I look like her when I'm her age, I'd be pretty damn happy with myself. It's funny, looks can be so deceiving. This woman, in my opinion, is gorgeous and has a gorgeous body, especially for a 40 some year old woman, but she weighs more than me. I guess a number really is JUST a number. Because to her, the number doesn't matter, she worries about toning and told me that she never envies anyone. She says "the girl who can eat all the m&m's she wants, and all the snicker bars, is still going to have a problem with her health in the end."
I'm really hoping that we keep this up because she is without a doubt so motivating. I told her she can be my buff bride trainer because my "husband" and I are getting married in September and I want to make the dress maker take in my dress so bad. It's so discouraging when you're a size 10 in real life, but in bridal world you're a size 14. Why make a bride any crazier by doing that with the dress sizes? The girl at the bridal shop, who is TINY, said that she's normally a 4 but wears an 8 wedding dress! WHY DO THIS TO BRIDES!? Don't we have enough on our mind to have to concentrate on a dress number. It's the biggest day of our lives! My dress will be taken in. And I will be the sexiest woman my "husband" has ever seen...
I'm feeling so motivated, and I'm loving every minute of it!

Its so hard to remember that the number is just a number... I think if I had less muscle my number would be lower.....
