First, thank you all for the awesome comments on yesterday’s post Lose 100 Pounds, Lose Friends<\/a>.\u00a0It seems that I really touched a nerve with my readers and a lot of people could relate to my story. Even though I debated with myself whether or not to post it (for months actually) I’m glad I did.<\/p>\n

It turned out that a lot more people have experienced what I have than I thought! I loved all the comments but a few really stood out.<\/p>\n

My friend Leslie (also my Hood to Coast Captain!) said: \u201ctrue friends and family are the ones that know the real you and love you in spite of it.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rob said: “I was *hooked* when you were posting all your Hood to Coast updates. Anyone who wasn\u2019t impressed with that wasn\u2019t reading your blog.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And Nicki said: “You\u2019ve gained so much more than you lost!”<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I hope that my post helped some people. And I hope that it helped me, as well. Maybe I will find some closure and move on completely after “baring it all.” I really have gained a lot with losing my weight (insight, friends, health, fitness).<\/p>\n

Wednesday’s Workout<\/span><\/p>\n

Wednesday during lunch I went to the gym in my office instead of running. It was a bummer and I tried to shake off the feeling of being sad and depressed and just focus on my workout.<\/p>\n

I warmed up on the elliptical machine for about 10 minutes. I pushed it as hard as my body would allow. I admit, I was mad at my body for being injured.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I did the Hill Intervals. When I was trying to lose my 100 pounds I spent a lot of time in the pool–and on the elliptical machine. It was my favorite machine. I could spend over an hour, zoning out listening to talk radio or music and suddenly I burned 700 calories or more.<\/p>\n

For Wednesday’s workout, I did intervals:<\/p>\n
