Ow ow ow grrr
Went to the gym, which is the first time I've been back since I went to Hawaii. I'm so slack. So now every muscle of my body is aching, but I suppose it's a "good" ache. There are, however, more fun ways of getting aching muscles, but this is what one has at present, so one has to make do.
I've got a new personal trainer, who I'll see once a fortnight. She seems pretty good, except for one slight niggle. She was asking me for my aim for working out, and my default thing is muscle tone. I said to her specifically that I'm not interested in weightloss per se: if it happens, it happens; otherwise, who the hell cares, so long as I don't get all blobbly. She said, "Oh, that's fine, one of my fittest girls is a big girl, and she's really amazing" blah de blah, for just a wee bit too long.
Hm, you know what? I don't define myself as a "big girl". I'm average. I'm just getting a little bit sick of people calling an average, size-14 woman with tits, but also a waist, "big". I mean, fuck it. Also, fuck the clothing manufacturers who stuff the shops with clothing from sizes 8-12, when, actually, it's the minority of women who are in that size range. Then fuck them for saying "but most of our sales are in those sizes" because you know what? If they actually made appealing clothing for 14-16 and up, for the majority of women who are in fact average or "big", with reasonable quality and for a reasonable price, I'm sure they would find their sales there improving no end. Fuckers.
(Yes, I tried to go shopping for a suitable summer jacket for work yesterday. Idiot me. One linen jacket might have been ok, other than the fact that only sizes 8 and 10 were available, and it was beige. Urk.)
