Went from nothing but walking to/from train station to 4, hopefully 5, workouts this week. Signed up for the gym at my jobsite so I can row again - rowing is a key component of crossfit and i love how many muscles are involved. New baseline time estsblished this week, so now I can measure my progress against that. I've come to like walking away from a workout dripping sweat, it's a strange validation of my effort, just like callouses from crossfit.
Still a long way to go before I reach my physical goals. Much more about being self confident than hoping guys find me attractive, although that is a component here. Right now, I don't like the way I look, and don't expect a guy I'm attracted to to like it either. If I want the whole package, shouldn't I offer the same?
And before any of you say, "if he's worth it he'll like you just the way you are," this battle ultimately is not about that. I don't like it, so I can either complain or do everything I can to change. It's also not just vanity, it's about being strong and healthy. I've a hoard of heredity health problems staring me down, and I can fight some of them by controlling my nutrition and weight.
