She's been thinking a lot about this lately. As some of you know, she has been training for the London marathon and this Sunday is the big day.
Some people are surprised to know she is training because they expect her to be lean and thin. Not gordita, or curvy like she is now. One person even said "I expected you to have lost loads of weight".
Ohhhhhhhh! Not the thing to say to mami. She did handle it well though and laughed it off saying "I'm sure I can out run you any day".
But I know she was very upset. I know that she had high hopes of finally losing a few pounds and getting back in shape when she agreed to be sponsored by Nestle to run the marathon.
She and papi have been training, but I'm sad to report, mami hasn't lost any weight and had to buy jeans a bigger size up. I should know, I was with her and it wasn't a pleasant moment.
So why does this happen? I mean she feels healthy overall. She can run for a long time - just last week she did 4 hours! We walk everywhere and she is constantly on the move.
Do you think it's how you are built? Because I've got the biggest tummy I know but I can out run all of my really skinny friends on the playground.
Papi suggested she needed to do "high intensity" work outs because the body gets smart and running doesn't do it anymore.
"Unbelievable!" She yelled out. "I just can't win!"
So now mami is thinking about what to do next. After the marathon she needs to venture into a few fitness regime that works in order to drop those pounds.
But the question still is, can you be fat and fit?
Tell us what you think! In the meantime I will make sure mami stays active.
