Slender You, Slender Me!!!

Well it's finally here. We are opening our Slender You Fitness Salon this Thursday. Now, I know that I am not the vision of fitness or slenderness if that is even a word, but I am persistent and that is why my name is attached to this endeavor. Last year, I saw this billboard driving home one night and it caught my eye, "40 pounds in 40 days," it read. I called the number the very next day and had an appointment for later that week. Upon consultation, I was sold. All I had to do was take one teeny tiny shot every morning and eat like a bird and I would lose at least a pound a day. Sounded good to me until they told me the cost. But they had a fix for that too. I could charge it to a medical credit card. I can't tell you how much I paid for it because if my husband ever gets bored and reads this thing, I will never hear the end of it. Seriously. Never. Let's just say that if I had spent the money on a cruise, I could have eaten at every midnight buffet and only gained 10 pounds. As it stands I gained my 40 pounds back plus 20 more before I had the stupid diet paid off. So I did some real soul searching and decided that maybe the reason I can lose weight but don't seem to keep it off could be that I don't get any real exercise. (Remember all those surgeries I wrote about earlier?) Well, I found this place in Arlington called Slender You and fell in love with the concept. There are six machines that support your body weight and move you through a high number of repetitions in a short time, 1 hour total! I thought, "I can do this." But the drive was too much with all that traffic. So I did the next best thing! I am opening my own Slender You Salon. I can't wait to share it with you! I still have to eat right and walk to get some cardio in, but I think it's going to change my life. Funny thing is, my husband Danny, didn't think it was possible for me to spend more money than I did with the "40 in 40" diet to lose weight...Bet he didn't count on this!
