Let me just say that I loathe myself for falling into that age-old trap of trying to lose weight a month before your high school reunion. I can't believe I'm playing that dumb game, but I am. I'd like to consider it Incentive, since I know I need to get better at exercising anyway, but I feel like it's more like Panic than Incentive. So I've been working out, probably my second least favorite thing to do behind getting a sonogram.
Don't you hate when you go to the gym and get on the machine next to SuperWoman? It's happened to me two weekends in a row. I'm not sure men care so much, but the first thing a woman will do is look at her neighbor's screen and compare. And the girl next to me goes harder, longer, and farther than me. By a long shot. I feel like Rocky Balboa if I can do 30 min, but this girl does an hour at a faster pace. And it's all I can think about the whole time I'm exercising: all the excuses for why I haven't decided to deal with the 20 lbs I've gained since high school until a month before it matters.
Plus I'm a liar. It's probably more like 25.
God, I hate exercising.
go to the gym????4real????that's a 25mile ''road trip'', where i live!!!
TRUST ME!!!!that reunion is gonna be a cake walk...just wait til you see how many guys are pot bellied & bald!
Do what I do; ask them to slow down because their hard workout is causing my beer to slosh and spill.
When I went to my 20th HS reunion (missed my 30th because I was in Iraq), everyone had gained weight. But the real concern was over who still had hair (guys) and who had selective surgery (gals).
So I say, "Don't worry about it! Just go and have a great time."
