My Trainer Hates Me!

This is only the second time that I've met with Ben for my training sessions. I don't know what I could have done in that short time to make him hate me so much. What other reason would he have to try and kill me today??!! Ok, so he did not literally try to murder me, but it sure felt like I was dying....

He canceled?!

I dropped Mike off at school today and headed to the gym. When I walked in, Ben waved me over. He told me that he messed up and over booked so he had to cancel and reschedule my appointment. No big deal, he is seeing me tomorrow instead. The great news is, he is giving me an extra session for free this...

Week 3

Today starts week 3. I forgot to mention, I reweighed myself last week and turns out that I lost about 3 pounds. Wish it was more but it's something. I'm glad that I have made it this long. In the past I would have stopped after the first day. I would have thought, "this hurts way to much and it isn't...

I got this!

Week 2 Day 3. I went back to the gym today. It was good. I worked on my back and shoulders (ohhh pain) then I did my 30 minute cardio. The fan adjusters on my treadmill was broken so that sucked but I kept going. It does go by so much quicker at the gym. I can't wait until I get to the point where I...

Trying...

I got on the scale this morning. No results. No add, no gain. I busted my butt last week and stayed within my daily calorie allowance but nothing happened. I was pretty bummed this morning. I thought that it was pointless to keep working hard like this when I have nothing to show for it. But, I went...

Sometimes I Need a Kick in the Arse.

What has two thumbs and did not want to do cardio today? This girl right here (pointing thumbs at myself)!I'll be honest. I did not want to walk today. My body hurts all over, especially my legs, and I'm cramping. Who wants to work out when they are cramping, NOT ME! But...I did it anyway.  I...

It Hurts So Good

Day 3: I went back to the gym this morning after starting my blog, like I said I would. I worked out my back and did 30 minutes of cardio.  My body hurts. My arms and chest are so sore from Tuesday's work out. It hurt to change the station on the car radio. It hurt to pick up my water bottle to...

My Journey Begins

I have never in my life been skinny, nor do I ever want to be. I want to be a healthy weight that looks good on my frame, curvy I guess. I wish I could say that the reason for all my extra weight was because I quit smoking. Let's be honest, that wasn't the main factor that contributed to my weight...
