FatLady has been a little off the pace the last month, but she HAS been on the ball. A BOSU ball - and they are HELL on the abs. But, I digress. Today I would like to discuss gym towels. I has been my experience that towels provided by the gym are intended for SkinnyLadys, not FatLadys. When you are carrying around the extra frontage and middleage poundage, those napkins just don't get the job done. I usually use two towels and on the rare occasion, three and ALWAYS find myself wishing that I could use just ONE towel to get the job done. But, I would scare all the other Ladys away should I streak through the women's locker room with one towel. I mean, let's be honest here - even though we all have the same parts, no one - and I mean NO ONE wants to see that much FatLady. It can really ruin your day. My proposal - buy FatLady sized towels. I am pretty sure SkinnyLadys will not complain. We will save the environment by washing fewer loads of towels and FatLadys will feel better about themselves because one towel will cover their whole booty instead of just half a booty. It is a win/win situation for all involved.
I think I have been lax all month because I have not had any great stories rolling around up there in that head of mine. RB has been kicking my butt all over the place because I can only afford to go one day a week now, so he is working me twice as hard. In fact, I am back to getting almost sick every morning. He says I am doing great, but I can hardly walk down the stairs after one of our sessions. On a happier note, Mr. FatLady has been quite pleased with my toned results.
Speaking of results. I have lost almost 20 pounds since April. Although the weight is coming off slowly, I hope the lifestyle change will mean that it stays off for good. I have also been pivoting my thoughts and I focus on looking and feeling good. Which brings me back to the stupid towels. Last week, for the first time in let's just say a long time, I was able to tie one SkinnyLady towel around my FatLady bulk. It was a little precarious, but I made it to and from the shower with no flashing episodes. I took an extra towel, just to be on the safe side, and used it for my hair so it would not go to waste.
This weekend I am all about Ride, FatLady, Ride. We are spending Labor Day weekend in Lanesboro, MN biking the countryside. FatLady will log 20-30 bike miles, which is pretty darn good for a weekend.
I will talk about my biking in the next post. I have a recumbent bike and I LOVE it. It is the perfect model for FatLadys!
