  • Getting Back on Track

    One of my fellow classmates used to be a body-builder.  He got out of the biz' because he went out of control with steroids and supplements and it began to harm him physically and mentally.  He's now in the writing program (and one of the best, IMHO).  He's a great guy. 

    He's agreed to help me with my weight loss/exercise/health.  I have a little weight to lose (after being on the evil that is the progesterone-only pill).  So, this week I'm keeping a food journal and he will look it over and tell me where I can tweak and make changes.  He has offered to do a few sessions with me at the gym to make sure all is well there.  I'm fairly confident about my gym/weight-lifting stuff but another eye/opinion would be helpful. 

    I'm really excited about this.  He is heavy into organic and low-meat, but he'll offer me options that go from the extreme spectrum to the mild spectrum on where I can improve. 

    I've been eating well the last month (give or take a few really bad days) but I've lost about 8lb.  It's been slow and I'm ok with that. 

    Anyway, I just wanted to post a little something about this. 

    P.S. When I saw him last, he asked me how old I was.  Guys, never ask a lady that!  My only response was, "well, since you asked, you now have to tell me how old I LOOK."  Always puts 'em on the spot.  :)

    He said "Well . . .32?"

    I like him even more.  :)

  • Three questions a guy should never ask a woman: how old are you, what do you weigh, and how much money do you make (well, that last one especially would be offensive to just about anyone)! lol

    Best of luck this week working with your classmate/trainer. I hope you are successful in reaching your goal. Have a wonderful weekend!

  • Congrats on getting help with this! I'm working on it myself, and it's a hard road to go on your own. But 8 lbs is nothing to sneeze at ~ good job!

  • 8 lbs is always a good start!  I wish I could lose eight pounds in only a month...

  • Well, to defend him, cuz guys do that, he might have wanted to know your age to make better decisions on how to alter your diet. Because if you looked 80 and said 35, he'd have some serious work to do. If you were 80 and looked 35, he'd be asking you what you ate lol. So unless it's a situation where the guy is hitting on you, it's probably for a sane reason. Ya damn defensive nerd!

    Also, grats on 8lbs. I'm not sure if I have lost weight or if my pants have all gotten bigger. I don't know HOW I lost weight, if I did.

  • @Fleener - Hahaha.  I think it definitely had to do with my diet!  And thankfully, I don't look 80.  I don't smoke.

    You ever see a smoker that looks young?
