Ouch.

Hello Everyone,

I'm guessing that you can assume from the title that I worked out today, and oh yes I did.

I played basketball with my honey for about an hour, stretched, and did my leg and ab exercises (for Thursday).

All in all, I feel super amazing (except for the soreness I will feel tomorrow). :)

I did want to talk a little about something unexpected I realized in my Economics class this afternoon. My teacher was talking about unemployment and how the rate varies from group to group (women, men, white, Hispanic, etc.). Anyways, he mentioned a study done by the University of Texas called "Beauty and the Beast" where the researcher discovered that despite discrimination prevention a lot of hirer's look at physical attractiveness (perhaps unconsciously, perhaps not) when talking to potential candidates. I sat there and thought, "Wow, I DO NOT want to be someone who is turned down from a job because I am over weight." I can, in fact, understand how being over weight could be interpreted badly in a job setting. Obviously if you can't take care of you're own body and healthy, you won't be able to take a lot of responsibility within the company. It doesn't matter if you are the most qualified person for the job. New employers don't know that and they won't care.

This honestly scares me. I refuse to be one of those people. When I get out into the job market, I want people to see my personality and my skill sets and NOT my weight.

Yet, another reason why this weight loss journey I'm on right now is for real. There is no turning back. I've already gotten further than I have in the past and I'm sticking to it!

What I tell myself every night:

I am getting skinnier, healthier, and sexier everyday!

Now, if I can do this, you can too! So get out there, get motivated and do it!!!!
