Last night i was on the treadmill and a little angel 
text messaged me to keep pushing myself.....so back and forth we went and it made the time go by so much faster....thank you tina :)
Got up and did my EMC for 30 minutes and then hit the gym for my back workout! And shy little angela actually did something she has never done before.....i wore a tank top to the gym! Yes, i know, not a big deal...but for me it was! And i almost didn't leave the locker room because i was worried....but i did....and i know im mental about my self image and all but every once in a while, i saw little muscles working....and that made me feel really good and happy! I did assisted pull-ups (which weren't on my sheet) but i did 4 sets of 10....im trying really hard to keep lowering the weight on there so that eventually i will be able to do unassisted ones...i got down to 40...which i guess would mean that im using 60% of my own body weight??? Which is progress for me....cause i was doing 80 and 70 before....i will get there ;)
So i am at work right now.....two ladies (i hate that word..but i guess i cant use "girls") that i work with got take out from this bar/restaurant near here....chicken fingers and french fries.....so i was walking by and it smelled really good..the one girl asked me if i wanted one...i said no thanks...of course.....but at first i was like "ooh i wish i could have them"....and then i stopped myself....and said to myself.....i would rather see my abs :)...that is more important to me....and you know what? It is so true..if you look at things that you are giving up all the time, you are going to get upset over it and feel deprived and mad that you cant have it....but you know what? I dont want it.....it is just crap food that will go straight to my ass and it is sooo not worth it....so i guess i am learning....its taken me a while....but it is finally sinking in......i am doing this to better myself and eating that crap is not going to get me where i want to be.....so let them eat it and let them get bigger and bigger and complain about being overweight..
....i sooo dont want to hear it....oh and the best part of it all is that the one girl who is sitting there eating it is the one i was saying a few weeks ago that she eats mcdonalds every morning (still does...gross) and then proceeds to tell me yesterday that she bought "Slim in 6" from the infomercial but she doesnt know when she is going to start it....LOL!!!!! I am going to say....never.

Probably 99% of weight management products on advertisements are either ghastly falsehoods that fail ot deliver, or if they do do anything, the result is achieved in a less than healthy way, and in a way that means the individual feels better, thinks they look better, but cannot see any harm or damage they may have done internally.
I'm glad you're doing the things you're doing. It is a step, and you should be proud.
Take care and best wishes.

LOL!!! You go girl ;) Yeah you got me through my workout too!! You know I see me in you...I always have. But really you are Angela, and you are going to learn to get that fight for you...and then it's full speed ahead sky's the limit...when I get a feeling I'm usually right...and I have that feeling...I can't wait to see where you land. No pressure or anything :)
LMAO. Those people who eat fast food and buy fat burners or informercial programs...i just don't get it. One or the other lifestyle, you just can't have both.
Good for you for passing up the fries. I struggle with that too, thinking of everthing I miss out on but if I can do it day by day, and just focus on getting through ONE DAY, it's not that bad!!
