apparently, I have stomach muscles

Today was my first day of ab workouts. I have never once in my life worked on my abs. I didn't even know I had abs. Well, I do have them...and I felt them big-time today! They're definitely in there, under a very large layer of blub. I'll see them someday!


I really didn't want to do cardio today, just because I'm a lazy bum. I even left my iPod at home so I'd have an excuse not to do it. That's so pathetic. So after the ab torture, I just went upstairs and hopped on the treadmill. I only did one mile, but that's better than nothing. I have to bring my iPod every time though because doing cardio with no music is NOOOO fun.


My whole body is already hurting. I had to do this ab thing with my legs so my legs are on fire. I'm sure the treadmill didn't help the leg situation either. My shins feel like they're going to explode and my ankles are killing. God, I can't WAIT to get this weight off of me. Maybe then it won't hurt so bad to move. I am literally carrying around an extra 70 pounds every minute of the day...no wonder I feel like I'm dying. Whose heart, joints and muscles can support that all the time? Obviously not mine anymore. I have to keep remembering, that's why I'm doing all this. The health part is great, but the skinny jeans are pretty awesome too.

I tried to tell my trainer that I didn't have any core... she just laughed and said "it's there, we'll find it."

Thanks Jen!! Someday I'll have your biceps and abs...just wait!! Actually, you partly inspired me. After seeing you in your gorgeous wedding dress, I knew there was NO WAY I could be a fat bride, so thanks for the push! :)
