This site is very motivating. Lets be honest. Misery loves company. I like reading about how hard people are working, what they are doing to get ready for TTR and it is just comforting knowing you are not the only one fighting the battle. For me I work 55-60 hrs a week these days at my 'desk job' due to big corporation downsizing. Then rush home to get the family time in and put the kids to bed. Then off to the gym for two hours with weight training and 3-5 miles cardio. Two days on then one day break. Simply exhausting. I always want to do all this for the right reasons... Live longer, be able to be there for your kids for many years in the future, feel better, etc They all are motivating but I find nothing more motivating than an impending trip to TTR. Not sure why. Maybe all the time in bathing suits. Maybe being exposed during the silly games. Or just wanting to be in the best shape to handle the week long party. Well enough rambling. Come on April! But I sure am enjoying the preparation and excitement as the days tick down.
We love the prep work - getting in shape, cleaning up our eating, and buying sexy stuff. It all helps us get even more excited for the trip!
I thought that the trip would motivate me, I really wantd to loose a good 60 lbs for the trip, I started off fantastic in September and lost 15 lbs in a little over a month but I have been sick since Christmas vacation started and it took away any ambition I had at all. It depresses me but I know I have to just be happy with who I am and go and be the fun loving girl that I am. I am getting there and trying to just be happy with myself. I have 17 sleeps to get there
Thanks a bunch - still a ways to go before I meet my goal, :huh: but I'm working it out - LOL!! We cannot wait to see you both - we will be patiently waiting for you at the sexy pool with drink in hand after the cruise to hear all about it!! BTW - no such thing as rest while at TTR - HAHA!! Have a freakin' blast on your :flash: cruise guys!!
Awe ... it's all good!! I have lost 25 lbs over this last year, but still have all what you describe above and feel self-conscious most days, but while at TTR I am okay to be a WOMAN and luv all of me regardless - it is my time off from my perceived negative self-image. In my opinion, I believe that the reason why I luv TTR so much is because women are in support of other women no matter their shape or size which the world needs more of ... it's like a celebration of women / self and I for one plan to run with this and love every minute - join in girl - you will love the freedom you feel if you do!! I hope you are feeling better since your sickness girl - take care and have a wonderful vacation!!
Thanks Chantelle, I am getting there. On my second round of antibiotics which are making me feel icky. All I can say is I better be back to ormal(whatever that is) by the 14
OK we girls just got back and let me tell ya... YES IT IS WORTH IT!!! I have since joined the GYM and have commited to Pole dancing... getting ready for Novembre trip... and his time we will go to the BOOB cruise...(we didn't do that and was one of our regrets) and maybe enter the pole dancing contest..
