I hope Justin Timberlake is playing in your mind, because he is certainly singing in mine.
I plan to bring sexy back and I hope it comes back fast. I am getting myself all pumped up for my life as a workout Queen.
In November, I met my new RE and since that time the only thing she's helped me do is gain ten pounds of fat and misery. The day I walked in her office, I'd been off a workout plan about four months, but I was maintaining. Clothes were fitting great. By my IUI, I noticed the clothes were getting tight. By the time I was stemming for IVF, the clothes weren't fitting. I was pretending that wasn't a problem as I ordered a new wardrobe online. Well, now that wardrobe is squeezing more than it should. It's time to end the madness. I'm taking it off, people. I'm about to get fit...at least I hope.
I'mtrying pushing all of the negative aside. I'm not using anymore excuses for skipping out on cardio. I am 32 years old. I can't let myself go just because my body refuses to reproduce. I always said if I can't be a mommy, I want to be damn sure that I look better than one. I know that's mean, but at least mommies can say they carried another human for nine months (anyway most mommies are hot). I can't say that. All I can say is I tried to have a baby for seven years and got fat in the process. That sucks, right?
With all of that said, I just watched the first video from Turbo Fire and I'm in trouble. The exercise lady did some jump move that nearly made me faint from watching on the couch. Keep in mind, I was watching the "New to Class" version, which is code for easier. (Dare I say I lost a pound while watching from the couch?) I may not do what the exercise lady is doing, but I'm sure jumping around will do something for me (eek!).

I'm making a plan and I hope it works. The best part is that my Hubby declared that he will join me in this "exercise class." He hasn't seen an entire video and I can't wait to see his face when he sees the routine. Hell, I can't wait to seem him bust a move. LOL! I should add that he's been a workout beast for the past two years. He does P90x and Insanity. He lost about 30 pounds with P90x and added Insanity to spice things up. He's my exercise Hero, but I still wish I could be skinny without effort, like when I was young.
So here's to getting skinny and taking a mental break from infertility failure.

Good luck! You are going to do awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI really hope you like the Turbo Fire! Let me know how it goes! And I assure you, it gets lots easier as you get used to the routines.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching the first video, I'm just happy no one will be watching our attempts to master this workout plan. My husband and I will be a mess:)
DeleteYou go girl! And feel free to pass along some of that determination...I could use some.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying:-)
DeleteGood for you - bring it! I tried Turbo Fire and decided I better start with walking! ;)
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!!
Thank You! I'll probably prefer walking as well.
DeleteStopping by from ICLW. I can totally relate to how you're feeling about your body. We've been TTC for over 5 years and I'm at my heaviest weight in those 5 years. We have our last FET coming up in August, but I'm working on losing some of the weight before transfer. I feel like my body has been overtaken by all of these drugs and procedures, but I'm ready to take it back. Good luck on your journey.
ReplyDeleteHi Lauren!
DeleteYou are so smart to try to get a handle on it now. Plus, It may provide a good distraction from obsessing over the FET (if you're anything like me). Also, you won't have as much to lose, after the baby:-)
