I'm getting rather annoyed with the fact that people ask me what my routine is, how far I've done on the cardio machines that day.. and when I tell 'em what I did, they get kinda.. ohh I dunno.. snobbish? Someone asked me yesterday how much I've done in general since I've started and I've racked up around 120 miles (give or take) and I get "You're just trying to show off" as a response. I mean, really? You think that's why I'm doing this? Puh-lease....that's not my intention what-so-ever. And lemme clarify... Their reponse wasn't like a joking / teasing tone either, it was in all seriousness. Thanks, I'll keep in mind to say "I dunno" next time you ask or just not answer you at all.
My Dad kinda hurt my feeling last night as well since he said it came off in my blogs that I was "showing off".. I'm not! I post my usual blog then toss my stats up at the very end. It keeps me on the straight and narrow, ya know? But whatever.. I'm just.. whatever right now. He said he's proud of me, which is awesome, but the lil jab about "showing off" bothered me... trust me, if I was showing off, you'd KNOW.
To the peeps who have been SUPPORTIVE, thank you very much! It's so incredibily appreciated and it's nice to know I have some cheerleaders in my corner. For the ones who are haters. how's about this... instead of investing your negative energy into being mean and spiteful to me and the things I'm doing to improve my life, put it into something more productive ...like working on YOURSELF.
Speaking of supportive... Mrs. Barb brought this by my work yesterday, how sweet is she? This totally made my day (she dropped it off after said person was jerky to me)! So, now it's hanging in my office :)

Boo to the haters! You inspire me to try and work out twice a day. I haven't quite made it there yet, but I will soon. Keep it up girl!
Thanks sweety! You can totally do it!!
If I was able to accomplish what you have accomplished (over the years and in the recent past)...you could be sure as shit I'd show off! There is nothing wrong with pride, when it isn't hurting anyone. I want to keep seeing those stats, even if you email them only to me. I understand how that little bit of accountability to whomever can make a huge difference in your motivation factor! Keep it up (once you are all healed and ready to get back to it). Don't let the haters bring you down!
