I sure as heck don't want to....but I think I need to for a little while. I'm gonna hate every single moment of it though. I promise.

 

[Var]

Bah! Cardio is for bunny rabbits, not people.

 

[nikegurl]

I never do any and in theory - I don't believe in it. BUT I have a trip in 3 weeks for work and none of the clothes I have to wear at the meetings fit properly - so I gotta do some freaking cardio to see if I can jumpstart things.

It won't last. (the cardio)

 

[Var]

Just messin' with ya.

Good luck! I'm sure burning those extra calories will help somewhat.

Why not just do it after your working? The goal is to burn calories. You are going to burn calories no matter what time of day you do it. There are so many thoeries whether morning cardio is the way to go or not. IF I choose to do cardio, I just do it after my workout. Burning a calorie is still burning a calorie IMO!

I just think if you try to make this too difficult (getting up early) for yourself you may not follow through. Not trying to be mean just trying to make this approach realistic.

 

[nikegurl]

psst - jodi. it's me. ya don't ever have to qualify anything you say. i KNOW you aren't trying to be mean. seriously, you're a friend and you can say anything ya want without worrying about how it's phrased and all that b/c i know it comes from a good place.

i was thinking about doing the cardio at the end of the workout. that may be better. only thing holding me back is that i know damn well that i always want to get the heck outta the gym the instant i finish. i'll just have to redefine what "finished" means.

 

[Jodi]

I just don't want you to give up, you are doing so well

 

[Var]

Nikegurl knows that she'll be in BIG TROUBLE if she even thought about giving up!!!

 

[nikegurl]

yeah. i tried it before (giving up) - and didn't like it. not one bit.

i'm actually feeling damn good. too fat - but good. i can really see that i have added some muscle and i can't wait to see what's under the rest of my pudge layer.

thank you both.

Damn girl nice lifts

 

[nikegurl]

Thanks Jodi. Lifts are coming along pretty well. Pull ups are not. Must be too much weight to haul up to the bar.

 

[Jodi]

Don't worry, your pullups will come in time It's taken me a long time to pull my own bw up.

 

[nikegurl]

on the positive side of things...the gym's resident 23 year old porn star asked for my number.

 

[Var]

Is he seriously in porn??? Funny how many porn stars you know.

 

[Jodi]

 

[nikegurl]

yep. seriously.

it isn't just me. i swear it's where i live. san fernando valley in los angeles. it's the porn capital of the world. (i didn't give him the number by the way.)

 

[Var]

I should move out there and try to get in the business!

 

[nikegurl]

look at Var trying to live the American dream.

 

[Var]

Dont think my gf would approve.

 

[Saturday Fever]

I would ask for your number. But I'm not 23 and I'm not a porn star.

 

[nikegurl]

thanks Saturday. by the way - the fact that you are NOT 23 and NOT in porn are both good.

he's just nice to look at but now i'm officially uncomfortable. (i'm sucha wuss 'bout stuff like that)

 

[nikegurl]
