I joined a women's only gym. Did I mention that?

And I had a fitness evaluation yesterday.

I'm currently the heaviest I've been since high school.

Now. If this happened around February/March, when I was eating crap and being a lazy bastard, I could understand why. But this is not the case! Wanna know what I eat in a regular day? If I have breakfast, it's oatmeal, sometimes with a glass of pure orange juice (no sugar, etc). For lunch, I typically have vegetable soup. For dinner, some stir-fry of sorts. HOW DOES THIS MAKE SOMEONE GAIN THIRTY FIVE POUNDS IN FIVE MONTHS???? What's worse is that gaining 35 pounds in 5 months doesn't mean losing 35 pounds in 5 months. Sadly. My goal is to lose 50 pounds in total (though it may be adjusted to 60), which I'm thinkng will take about a year with a lot of hard work - very few sweets and grease and fat and constant exercise. BAH. I hate that I have to work so hard at something that's so natural to a lot of people. I hate that I have to put work into my body just so I can find clothes I like that will fit me.

I thought I was going to cry when my trainer read me the number on the scale. I'm not sure if I've ever been this heavy. None of the jeans I bought last year fit me now, though SOME of the tops do.

Good news is that my stomach and arms are much stronger than I thought. Like, in the high performance levels.

Today, I go in for equipment orientation and the personal trainer that did my fitness evaluation will set up a circuit training program for me. I'll start working out properly tomorrow.

The 'click click' of my heater is very irritating.
