grrrrrrrrrrrr
One of my coworkers, T, is pregnant and due in June. She is very happy but she is just not the type that wants to shout it from the rooftops. I know several people like this. Well, another coworker, R, is just over the moon that the one girl is having a baby and she keeps telling everyone or saying "did you tell them the news??" or "did T tell you the news??". SO ANNOYING. I see T cringe every time that R does this. I want to punch R in the face for this. T will share her news as she sees fit. She does not need R to help her. R even wants T to make an announcement to her committee about this news!!! WHAT? Geebus. These are the people I work with. I guess we all do. T is the quiet reserved timid type and R is the exact opposite. Bloody hell.
On another note. I am in the 140's now. I never honestly thought that my metabolism would break down. I always joked about it because I never had to worry about it before and then somewhere in my early thirties, it happened. The scale started creeping into the 130's and suddenly, about 4 years after the 130's creep, I find myself in the 140's. I am sooooo disappointed in this new development. My stomach has a layer of bloat and lumpy ripple that is every unbecoming. So now what? I have been going to the gym and doing weight and strength training with some cardio mixed in for about two weeks straight now, which at this point has only made my scale go higher from the muscle I am developing. Seeing those numbers go up is disheartening and let me reiterate, I never actually thought this would happen to me. I guess I knew it was inevitable, but I don't think I really believed it would come... It is enough to make me want to survive on only water and celery but that is not going to happen. I know that it takes time for the gym work to start making a difference.
I know, poor pathetic me..put on a few pounds. Big deal... I will hang in there with they gym work and if there is no difference after a month, I will blow myself up.

Just what worked for me in the pudge zone of my belly, hips & upper thighs... pilaties. It helps develop long lean muscles. (Zip it up like a corsett... a line from a pilates DVD) Or if you're really flexible, go for yoga... I am crap at yoga as I am not bendy enough
