I use to be one of those people who ate and ate anything and everything and never gained weight. But also I use to be very into jogging, weight training (bench pressing my own weight at the time of 115), and playing women's team tennis. I moved to Florida when I was 27 and thought ahhhh sunny Florida I will play lot's of tennis! Not! lol. It was hot and hard to get on a USTA team and so

I use to be one of those people who ate and ate anything and everything and never gained weight. But also I use to be very into jogging, weight training (bench pressing my own weight at the time of 115), and playing women's team tennis. I moved to Florida when I was 27 and thought ahhhh sunny Florida I will play lot's of tennis! Not! lol. It was hot and hard to get on a USTA team and so I stopped playing tennis and that seemed to be a turning point for me. I lost interest due to not being able to deal with the heat I hadn't adjusted to and slowly over the next 10 years I was no longer that person that could eat anything and not gain an ounce. But my eating habits stayed the same for quite some time. Since people weren't use to seeing me be the one with weight on they were insensitive, always pointing out how I looked as a part of their greeting me. Soon I ate more for emotional comfort cause when I was at home alone and crying because of my hurt feelings eating my favorite foods made me feel better.

Now things are different and I don't eat for emotional reasons because I have resolved many of them within the past two or so years so now I am just trying to stick to working out instead of starting and stopping. I have sickle cell and extreme exercise often throws me into a sickle cell crisis which is a real pain in the booty but I am determined not to let that stop me.

Yesterday, May 15, 2010 I took a free cage fitness class at my sons karate school. They have Cage Fitness several times a week but I had never tried it. Well yesterday I did it. OMG! It was soooo hard but so much fun at the same time. What a great workout. After it was over I didn't know whether I wanted to pass out or puke. Instead of doing either I picked up the phone and called the karate school and signed up to take Cage Fitness twice a week. And so it begins! :-)
