Skinny is Relative
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Especially when your relatives are skinny. I’m thirteen pounds thinner than when I submitted my essay to the AJC (196 from 209), so I’m feeling downright svelte. But then my size-two mother comes over, and I’m rudely jarred back to reality. Thank goodness I finally weigh less than my six foot-plus brothers!
Does anyone else struggle with being the family fattie?
Workout update: I’ve completed three sessions with Tina Gee. She is very upbeat and positive and appears to know her stuff about fitness. We haven’t really started with the personal training yet; I’ve participated in three of the classes she teaches at Gold’s Gym: 20/20/20, Boot Camp and Treadmill. I don’t think I’ve ever been closer to cardiac arrest that during boot camp. My skin could have lit a cigarette it was so hot …not that I had the slightest bit of extra lung capacity required to smoke. And no, smoking is not one of my vices. Think pasta, bread and cheese and you’ve got my number.
