    Animals are not supposed to be domesticated.


    Some animals choose to become domesticated. Siamese cats are dependent on humans. In fact humans have bred some of the flaws out, like their cross-eyedness, which is a major flaw for a predatorial animal.

     grin12 I loved it, even if I do have shakey limbs now lol I really enjoyed it.

    I was very nervous, and almost let my social anxiety get the better of me whilst I was there, and leave because I felt like everyone was watching me, but I told my stressed out side to "get a grip"  Roll Eyes "It's all in your head" and just enjoyed trying out the things I will be doing for the first week before new things are added.

    I actually left in a far better mood and more refreshed than I felt when I went in there, I can see this becoming something I look forward to.  Afro

    I also felt good because I am finally stepping away from the depressed stay at home mum, to a mum that is realising life is not over just yet and I have that extra bit of spirit in me that still wants to give life another go.  Smiley

    I shall be going again tomorrow, the day after I think swimming instead, because I reckon I will be in major pain.

    Ideally I want to go 4-5 times a week, but I will stick to the 3 times a week if sometimes I can't hit my target,

    Oh, and on a plus side, my personal trainer is a real cutey, I am sure I blushed and blushed and blushed.  He weighed and measured me, when he was done he said is there anything else I want measuring and I laughed and said "I don't have a penis so nothing left to measure"  Zipit

    So, I get to work out and ogle my personal trainer, the day has been all good.  dance
    Inhale the good shit, exhale the bullshit.

    sounds good, Berbs! Actually - the way I was told - it´s good for your muscles, to give them 48 hours between training sessions, so if you want to go so often, do different muscle groups on alternate days... or just skip a day of muscle, and only do swimming/treadmill - but then, am sure you discussed this with your cutey of a PT (and they are used to clients checking them out... and not averse to actually taking up with one, or so I heard... if they are single and approachable...  whistling2 )

    Well today was mostly and induction, he said no problem to come tomorrow.  Really explained everything to me in easy to understand terms, put me at ease, understood what I wanted........Lol  Tongue

    So do tomorrow, then a break, etc etc.

    I am just surprised at how cheerful I feel at the moment, I intend to push myself on this, and keep going.  grin12

    am glad you find the experience so great - just keep it going, Berbs! Of course the feeling won´t always be as great, and the newness wears off... there will come a time, when you´ll need resolve and discipline to keep you going... you said, you´d use the strength you had in your bulimia... do it! Much better to use it on going gym a couple of times a week!

    Yeah it was my friend who pointed it out to me, she said "You do have commitment, you starved yourself for years and years, that takes some massive commitment" lol she also said I take that and push it in to the gym so that at least it's healthy and not killing me slowly.

    I know it will get hard, but as my virtual gym buddy, you will motivate me to keep going.  Tongue

    My kitten, or toddler cat in cat years, did what she was naturally born to do and caught a mouse yesterday.

    I was making a cup of tea and as I went to grab the milk from the fridge I noticed that mysty (that's her name) had something long hanging out of her mouth.  Knowing that there are mice in the house I pretty much knew what it had to be.

    Anyway it must have taken me a minute of so to catch her, and she was not pleased at all when I tried taking the dead mouse away from her, she actually growled at me  Cheesy lol.

    Damn me for my weepy ways but I had the dead tiny tiny mouse in my hand and I almost cried, nature truly is cruel, unescapable but cruel.

    I mean I feel a sense of pride that she is a good hunter because I play alot of pounce hunt games with her, a book I have says it's good practise for them as kittens, but I also feel bad for the mice.  Cry

    So anyway, that's my entry for now.  Wink


    I work in a bakkery, so I don't feel sorry for the mouse. We got two cats walking around here and no problem with mice anymore. Alto one is more in catching humans. But the other if she had catched a mouse she comes in miauwing triomfianticaly and sometimes only eating it once someone pays atention to it. Wether her sis greeting her, or me stroking her.
    1939, T.S. Eliot declared: “When a word acquires a universally sacred character . . . , as has today the word democracy, I begin to wonder, whether, by all it attempts to mean, it still means anything at all.”

    Weight training is a good way to release stress. I wish I had time for it. $80 a month, I a only went once in February, and not even this month, sigh.... I wanted to go last night but, I got home at 7Pm, and oh man, there is no way I am going. Tonight I have hockey game to watch. See this is my schedule in the winter. Hockey is almost every other day, so it is hockey one night and the next night it is working out. I also want to get some running in, in fact I wanted to go only running for some months.

    I do feel like a let off some stress, I had to do some weights, but it's all about burning fat right now for me, and toning and building up my stamina.

    I surprised myself in there.  Smiley

    I certainly feel out of place when I work out.. and I only multiply the effect by being physically different to, since i seem to be the only one with an afro... well male, the one girl had one two, although, I don't think her's was natural. I haven't been that location in a while, I tried going to another location, but it is older, uglier, and locker room stinks and is terribly design. I got lost in the locker room, ME getting lost!!! Absurd! I always looked (give the impression) lost when I am walking around, but this time it was genuine.

    Weight lifting will help burn fat if it is high intensity.

    that would be the DMS (Delayed Muscle Soarness) a warm up and stretching before exercise and a warm down and stretching after exercise helps ease it, over time of going to gym it will decrease as your body gets used to it.

    Well seeing as I had a personal trainer, who did make me warm and warm down after, I think I bolted the door before the horse bolted.  Wink
