The girl
Posted on Jan 26, 2008 under Health, Diet and Lifestyle |Yesterday at gym I saw a girl that took my breath away. I was completely smitten. Not because I want to do her (I’m 100% heterosexual!), but because I wanted to be her. There was just something about her that made me think “I could look like that”.
First of all, she had a beautiful, feminine face and boyish short blonde hair, exactly like I used to wear my hair when I was young and thin. She was probably in her early thirties. Her body was exquisite. Tall, big-boned and strong. Very strong. This girl was ripped. Very defined back, arm and shoulder muscles. Toned legs, flat stomach. Neat chest.
I’m guessing that she must be a professional sportswoman. (I work out at the Sports Science Institute, where a lot of professional athletes and international sporting celebs go. I once had Australian National cricketers on treadmills on either side of me!) She obviously does weight training, but she’s not overdone like those ridiculous women with their orange tans, big peroxide hair, tiny bikinis and weird poses.
This girl had the most amazing presence. She was calm, neat and very precise in her movements. I liked the matter-of-fact way she got on the bike and started cycling with total concentration. She moved gracefully and purposefully. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her.
The best part of her was her totally gorgeous ass. One would expect a rock hard butt from someone like her, but she had the most feminine derriere I’ve ever seen. Soft and rounded.
Some people have dreams of losing weight and getting fit so that they can wear bikinis, run marathons, whatever. I just want to look like that girl! And I’m going to work for it!
Today I attended my first aqua aerobics class. It was awesome! I tried really hard and did well! My arms and shoulders are quite sore now, but tomorrow is my rest day, so I’ll be fine to do it again on Monday. I have mapped out next week as follows:
Monday - 1 hour aqua aerobics
Tuesday - 1 hour pilates, 30 minutes cardio
Wednesday - 1 hour aqua aerobics
Thursday - 1 hour pilates, 30 minutes cardio
Friday - 1 hour pilates, 30 minutes cardio
Saturday - 1 hour aqua aerobics
The week after that I will start 30 minutes of weight training on the days that I do aqua aerobics.
Here’s some motivation for the week:
It’s your constant and determined effort that will eventually break down all resistance and sweep all the barriers before you. Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that’s necessary to reach your goal.

That is great, now you have a visual goal of where you want to get to, this should help you to focus and achieve this goal, you can do it!! Great job on the eliptical, I started by doing 2 minutes, that was all I could do, eventually worked up to 20 and now have moved on to jogging, I need to change up my exercise challenges to keep me motivated.

I want to have a healthy and toned body like that. We were looking at Bowflex today and I think we may end up with one in the next few months,the biggest obstacle, after price, will be where to put it. He wants to put on some muscle weight, I want to do strength training, its a good option for us.

Hi. You might want to remove this comment after you read it. I found out today that one of my posts was totally ripped off. I also found your post there as well as others. A quick google search with the title and keywords brings up the original owner. They have been stealing blog entries that have anything to do with weight loss. Your entry is on this page: http://nextblogworld.net/page/2/
I have contacted them to have my post removed. It’s blatant copyhright infringement.
Their site has links to weight loss products, and all of the posts targeted were regarding weight loss.
I’m irritated and frustrated. I don’t put my thoughts out there to be ripped off.
I wish you luck on your weight loss journey! It’s a hard road.

I KNEW you’d like the water aerobics. Isn’t it fun? I always loved those classes (not attending a gym at the moment, as they are so so pricey over here). It’s a great workout.

I love your post. You can achieve anything you set your mind to. Your fitness plan looks great!

LOL oh, I don’t even dream of looking THAT good, especially at my age. But I can see doing it for someone who’s younger
Having an exercise plan is probably the single biggest boost to weight loss. Congrats on the plan and moving forward!

Hi Hanlie, thank you for the Technorati, um, favoriting thing (sorry, I am just learning all this stuff & clearly have no idea what to call it) I am going to start a fave list and you will of course be on it…

have a great rest of the weekend!

I, too, love aqua aerobics! I go every morning for at least an hour!

I have been really wanting to do water aerobics for a long time now - maybe I’ll finally give it a try this summer!

You are so in the swing of working out girl! Wow..very impressive. Do you feel more energy? Are you hungrier or more satisfied? It’s just so great…keep it up. I love Aqua A too..I wish ya’ll lived near me so I’d have buddies to go with. My friends don’t want to do it. I can go alone though. I am a big girl. How bout those good looking folks at the gym..so at ease there. I am always a mess and awkward at the gym…maybe if I go more that will change. YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!!
