Happy anniversary to meeeee...
It's been exactly one year since I first went to theYMCA (Metro-central, thank you).
In that time, I've:
- lost 30 lbs
- lost four belt loops on my favourite belt
- lost a size and a half (might have been more had I bothered to eat a bit better, but small steps)
- increased confidence by 27%
- Smelled some of the stinkiest human beings ever
- learned how much I hate "gym cheaters"
- Gotten my cardio up to 45 minutes (originally started at 20)
- discovered exactly how much damage the wrong trainers can do to your feet (my toenails have finally grown back -- but flip-flop season was a bit iffy there. I curse you, Saucony)
And feeling a helluva lot better about myself? Priceless.

You go girl!!
By the way, what are "gym cheaters"?
I love that Canadians say "flip-flops". Here in Australia they're called "thongs". Yes, I am talking about footwear.
You see, thongs here *immediately" imply bum-string underwear.
Gym Cheaters are what I call people who use the equipment improperly -- leaning all their weight on the rails of elliptical trainers, stacking up weights so heavy that they can only lift them three times before walking away, sprinting on a treadmill for five minutes.
Essentially, people who are more interested in impressing people than actually exercising properly.
Gym poseurs, if you will.
Irritating.
Congratulations. That's awesome.
I hate gym cheaters, too. They drive me batty.
