Those of you who hear me complain regularly, both in person and on Facebook, know that I've started personal training sessions with the lovely and talented Cherryh Butler. The weekly meetings are, in fact, an incredibly generous wedding gift from my own personal fitness idol.
So it's a no-brainer, then, to assume that the sweat, blood and tears are being channeled into making me the buffest, baddest-ass bride ever. Sure, that's a primary goal. But I need shorter-term gratification while huffing and puffing through mountain climbers, planks, and other assorted torture devices masquerading as exercises.
Things I think about during my workouts include:
*Beyonce. She's one of my girl crushes and ultimate idols, along with ScarJo, Nicole from PCD and WWE's reigning diva, Lilian Garcia.
*Swimming. It never fails. When I sweat, I think about jumping into a huge pool. Refreshing!
*Clothes, clothes, clothes. As I've grown older, I've tried to embrace a healthy lifestyle instead of only losing weight to fit into certain things. But, come on -- it's one of the best benefits. I'm working toward this little number right now -- I think I could rock this with some good jeans and a simple necklace.
And, of course, my upcoming nuptials. Dress shopping, shoe shopping, accessory shopping, oh my! The bigger the biceps, the more bags I can carry :)
So far I'm down 7 pounds and am gaining muscle by the week. I'll keep you posted, and feel free to let me know your own fitness motivators.
