I hate the beginning part of when you start a workout regime. You know, the part where you start and you're all gung-ho for a few weeks and think that by the end of it, you'll have Victoria Secret banging on your door to do a show for them?
What I hate the most is that I feel good (sorta) and I feel like I'm doing something good (sometimes) but then I'll put on my clothes and it just looks all wrong on me -- like the fat on my body is not disappearing, but rather redistributing itself so that I look all warped and mangled.
I just wish I could go to sleep and wake up in 6 months to a body that doesn't make me cringe when I look at it in the mirror.

I feel like I could have written this. Seriously. I've been pretty active with my workout and eating differently (better) the past month and a half and I feel like I have nothing to show for it. My clothes are still not fitting right and it's very frustrating considering how hard I've been working. UGH.
You and me both. Although, I'm cringing less and less these days.
There are ways to quickly achieve the results you desire but in the long run if you commit yourself to a good, quality program you will be very happy with your body in 6 months. And you will also develop some good habits and discipline over that time that will benefit in the long run as well. Hang in there and keep fighting the good fight.
Hear, hear! I feel the exact same way right now!
I feel you, Sister. Very much so.
WURD! I started working out for Vegas and it has been a week. I'm wondering why I don't look fabulously in-shape and thin yet?
AMEN sistah! Someone recently asked me whether I'm noticing any changes in my body now that I'm a number of weeks into my 1/2 marathon training. And my answer is a big fat NO. But, I am feeling better. And feeling more energetic. And feeling like I just might be able to drop this little Diet Coke addiction I have. And so for that (and for the ability to say I ran another 1/2 marathon), I keep trucking forward. I'm trying to prove my brain wrong - that I don't need a banging body to feel great! Want to jump on board?!
I know you know this.. but it takes months to see a real difference. Just stick with it, darlin. We'll cheer you along the way.
It dawned on me why I have been ducking your journal - reading about exercise is making me feel guilty.
And stupid me told Hubby to throw away the candy last night (of course thinking he wouldn't). He DID - in front of me - then put dish soap on it!! What am I going to eat now AFTER my workouts? Stupid me....
I can understand.
And why am I afraid that it'll always be like this?
You and me both darling. I want to sell some bras, dammit! Or at least I want to wear that diamond one they tell me is a big deal...alas, it is not meant to be. Assholes.
I get frustrated working out because of this. It's so annoying!
