It appears that I have moved on from just being a BEAST. I am now a Bridesmaidzilla, because I drag my awesome gym buddy to the gym daily and make her work out.
My gym buddy and I are both getting married. She is getting married in the summer and I will follow in the fall. We are both in each others' weddings. Our weddings have been a huge motivation for us to get healthy. We first signed up at the gym a little over a year ago! It was then our journey started. However, our line for most of the past year has been, "We will be better next week. Let's promise to go at least three days!" :) But when each week is like that our progress was slim. We have finally cracked down since the new year. We have gone three days a week to the gym.
We share training sessions and attempt to motivate each other. When we signed up for the trainer a year ago we were asked what was our motivation. We wrote, "Expected Proposals!" The manager of the fitness company almost fell out of his chair! He was shocked we would write that. But it seemed like a silly question at the time to answer, and I was in a funny mood that day. But seriously we were at the gym, signing up with a trainer and you want to know why. (You can just look at me and know I have to lose weight!) Within five months of signing up both of us were proposed to. We soon changed our motivation to the wedding. It was too bad that manager left soon after signing me up, I would have loved to tell him!
My goal is to lose two dress sizes before the wedding. It may not be possible, but I want to try. Regardless, I love my wedding dress. I just want to be healthier and feel great. And if I look even hotter I won't complain :)
Back to my original statement. I'm a bridesmaidzilla!
Reasons why I'm a bridesmaidzilla:
1) I forced my gym buddy to go to the gym. (Even though she told me not to accept an excuse today)
2) I changed our routine from doing cardio first, to doing cardio last.
3) We had to lift weights!
4) I made her do three reps while lifting!
5) I stayed at the gym past 5pm, which apparently is a bad thing! (I told her she could always walk home ... I love you gym buddy :)
6) When she complained I said, "TOO BAD!"
Even with my gym buddy's complaints I had a great workout and so did she! I am so happy that she stuck it out with me. She is a huge part of why I stay motivated at the gym. I love having time to chat and catch up about our daily life. I would rather her call me a beast, bridesmaidzilla, or a pain in the butt then her not be at the gym. So guess what gym buddy, I'm here to stay. You don't scare me :) I love you regardless of your words!
P.S. Gym Buddy - I will see you tomorrow!
