Sweat is my new best friend...

A few years back there was this commercial for Tabasco sauce, it showed a fat sweaty guy eating pizza on his porch. The commercial was not very appetizing. There is nothing appealing about a fat sweaty guy. I know cuase I use to be that guy, the guy that was sweating while doing nothing at all. I hated my seemingly uncontrollable sweating. Sometimes I would get nervous around certain females, forget about it, the buckets would come down. One of my favorite movies is a movie called Angus about a fat teenager. In the movie he is always sweating, he ask why am I always sweating, some one yelled cause your fat ! I think fat people sweat more cause the extra pounds keep their bodies warmer. On the bright side after shedding some pounds these episodes of Katrina like moisture happen less. I believe the reason is simple, since I have less fat on me, my body is cooler. I have always hated sweat, its caused me a lots of embarrassment.
Today while doing my workout I challenged myself to make the workout a little more intense , you know by adding a little more weight doing the reps a little more quickly. I was soon covered in sweat, sweet beautiful I burned a whole lot of calories sweat. There seems to be a difference with this sweat, it feels good. I feel better, i feel healthy. I think sweat is a good indicator that I am working out at the appropriate intensity. I feel like a guy who just accomlished something when I am covered in this type of sweat. I don't feel like that fat sweaty guy.. I love this type of sweat and I do it on every time I can.

I love the "Katrina like" quote. That's a great one. I agree about sweat. After a hard run, sweat is great, EXCEPT when I go to do my push-ups and sit-ups and it gets in my eyes. That's not so cool.
