I had to fight the evil demons of cycling class alone this morning. My partner, Jen, was sick.
The class wasn't bad. However, I did have three of the thinnest women I have ever seen riding around me.
As I struggling through yet another imaginary hill, I just looked at them. I kept trying to figure out why they were in class.
If I was that thin, I would NEVER go to the gym. I mean, NEVER.
Matter of fact, I would drive by the gym, donut in hand, and give it the middle finger. No gym for me, I'd scream in my sugar-filled, no-gym, happy voice.
Then it hit me - perhaps these women are here to maintain their thin profiles.
So, let me get this straight - after doing all this work to get that thin, I have to stay in the gym to be able to maintain it?
You've got to be kidding me.
Horrible, right? Most articles I read say you have to work harder and eat less to maintain a healthy weight than to lose it in the first place. That's why it's important to develop a doable lifestyle, something we are able to stick with. No fair, right?
