So still going to gym

And I love it. I've really gotten in to sweat equity. I start out on the ab coaster, which is a device you kneel on and place your arms in a upright position on a holder and grip the handlebars. Then you contract your stomach muscles and lift your knees up and then slowly dropped them back down. I always feel like I'm just swinging (and a lot of people using it ARE), and only do 3 to five reps. However about four hours later I start thinking about throwing up, so I am doing something.

Then I do 30 minutes on the rower with the dial on 20. I decided to go back down to 20 because it was bothering my neck and shoulders. I have also decided to stop waiting for the wheel to stop rotating and I just do it as fast as I can. This causes an increased caloric count, and no tugging on my neck. I start to sweat ten minutes in.

Then I do thirty minutes on the ellipsis machine. I don't use the arms right now. I prefer to read my book instead. I'm on level six. This does bother my knees a bit, but not enough for me to go back down to level 5.

I know I'm having an effect on my body. My bra is winkling again, even on the second row of hooks. My boobs don't touch anymore, in the bra or out! The new regular pants fit right out of the dryer. I can zip and button them up with out sucking in my gut. My new shirts are baggy! My towel now touches at the edges when it's wrapped around me. When I started it had a 3 to 4 inch gap. I'm cycling lower and lower on the scale. Last week I hit 203.2!

So this week went I went and exercised for 30 minutes (had to go to work and had left the house late), I understood the look I got from a woman in the locker room. She was a very large lady and I had seen her exercising. I changed into my towel to shower and placed my gym bag back in the locker. As I walked up to the locker to do this, I heard her say, "I don't weight my self to often because of the water loss." As I walked by her she glared at me for being skinnier then her. I pretended to take no notice. I have never been mad at someone for being smaller then me. It's stupid and a waste of time. But it's really weird for me to be the target of her anger. I still need to lose around 60 more pounds. I'm FAT! I have an apron for God's sake! It's so sad, because what she's really anger at is herself.
