To be... Or not to be.... In shape.

Today is day 17!! Last night I went to the ww meeting.... Lost 5lbs..Felt so good to have that skinny woman grin at me and go "wow, good job!" I no longer thought.... "I want the bigger gal to see the scale keep moving up and up.. Not Minnie mouse!" I know that is wrong of me.. But hey, I said honest here right??... So, I grabbed my purse, my shoes, my coat and grinned like a fool. Watching the rest of the women strip down to socks, t-shirts and workout pants.... I haven't' gone that far yet.... I wear the jeans and whatever shirt.. Some take the weigh in REAL serious, even taking off jewelry!! Sim, he came later.. Got weighed in minus his workboots and lost 7 lbs. Brat! He just grinned at me glaring at him.
Well, he did it... Bought the cook book, the dining out book, the "every food imaginable book", and smoothie mix.... Well ok, I bought them since he wasn't there yet!:-) He hungrily looked over the dining out book rattling off excited numbers throughout the meeting.. I about smacked him off the seat when he mumbled a answer for the question "OK, what can we do more of to really kick off the losing weight?" I am sure by the giggles infront of me and gasps from the old woman that he was overheard. I have noticed....... That all the women love him in the meeting. We are on week 2, only 2 meetings into this and already we have the two rows of seats all around us filled with older ladies who constantly giggle, and grin at his "outspoken" behavior. One old lady even said, "you know, I told my husband that there was another man here if he wanted to come." All just nodded and smiled. I had to laugh at the "attention" he was getting. Of course he just grins like a little boy winking at me while I roll my eyes laughing.
Did I mention they passed around a bin of "out of date" snack bars? My goodness fat boy about took me out to get the last fudge pnut one!! He tried it and offered it to me... I should have known it was gross if the 2 quarter size bar was offered!! My TMJ went into full flare trying to chew that piece of chocolate cardboard.. Yuck!!

This morning I did a new video... 2 mile "super fat burn" OMGOSH!! I was Praising the Lord this morning!! 1.5 miles into it, I realized that I am WAY out of shape!! I was hoping to see some of the women fall over in sweating,lung gasping heaps on the floor.... Because I sure felt like I was about to if she said, "Ok guys, 8 more" I know, I shouldn't think that way.... But as I watch Grandma bounce thru this on the TV screen, while I do back kicks on wobbly legs grunting..... I can't help but grit my teeth at them... good thing I do this in the privacy of my home and not in a gym!! Been there, done glared at energizer fitness chick Olive Oil, and got the t-shirt. Now I can just mutter at the screen, and pant in the luxury of my basement. And not walk away feeling guilty for showing my dislike to some innocently annoying woman. God has saved me from myself as He streeeeeeeeches me. :-) Funny.. I think this is a "Hey Corina, here is a lesson.... For me today... Because I just looked over at the scripture flip card thing my hubby bought for my desk............ "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." Ps 51:10
Ouch--- God do you even mean at 5:45 in the morning when I am sweating, gasping, and wondering how I ended up with jelly for muscles?
