one of my favorite new sayings that i use when people ask me about my weight loss journey, is that “if you’re not sweaty, smelly and disgusting by the time you’re done exercising, you’re not working hard enough.” it is so true. i think too often we put exercise in this box, in this comfortable little box of what works for us. when really, exercise is supposed to be tough. it’s supposed to be hard, and frankly it’s supposed to be unenjoyable (in my opinion)!!!
all that said, here is what i look like after an hour at the gym on a treadmill… these pictures have not been altered for dramatic affect… i really am this sweaty.


i swear i could have rung that shirt out into a two liter bottle and filled it…
