Death By Weigh Training

So the title may be a touch dramatic but it is completely accurate! Besides, this is my blog and I reserve the right to be as dramatic as I see fit.  It is also not lost on me that it is entirely possible that I will die from weight training as my entire upper body (hands, arms, fingers, shoulders, upper back, neck, nose, eyelids, and hair follicles)  feels as though it could crumble at just the slightest movement, and judging by the work out my trainer gave my lower body today...tomorrow I will be all sorts of a hot mess.  Just follow me for a minute - if I am correct and my hands, arms, fingers, shoulders, upper back, neck, nose, eyelids, and hair follicles decide that they can't handle even the mere thought of another morning at the gym and subsequently fall off/out my body, it could potentially cause a bit of a problem with my day to day activities.  Imagine then that my legs adopt the same philosophy...I will be nothing but a bald head.  This would be especially inconvenient due to the fact that I live alone and I am pretty sure Gizmo would be less than helpful due to his lack of hand/eye coordination.  

So in light of the above irrational fear of the century, there is only one naturally rational and logical response.  No more gym/weight training! No gym = no sore muscles. No sore muscles = loyal/happy limbs that never feel the need to leave me! Loyal/happy limbs that never feel the need to leave me = guilt free trip to Cheesecake Factory!! Genius! I fix my problem of extreme pain, my fear of abandonment, and indulge my love of chocolate mousse cheesecake in one fatal swoop! 

I have seen quite a bit progress in the last few weeks.  I have officially reached 75lbs of weight loss!! I am so close to my goal!! Only 25lbs to go! I am encouraged by my progress even though I don't enjoy some of the immediate side effects to my hard work.  This week I need to kick it up a notch and get serious about my cardio time! I need 6 hours in 5 days!  I am hoping that I am able to celebrate my 27th birthday in style with a little black dress and a big jump out of a perfectly good airplane with nothing between me and the ground except for a cloth parachute!!  That's right!! Sky Diving!! I have 2 months to lose 25lbs. if I am going to reach my goal of losing 100lbs by my birthday. This means I need to average 3lbs per week!  Time to put my game face on and DOMINATE!!!!
