Watch out!

by SymoneFLeave a Comment on Watch out!

I’m totally surprising myself each session!! I was completing every single rep I had to do (no stalling) and even starting exercises on my own (and finishing them) while my trainer was working with my husband. Watch out!!! I’m coming back!!! I feel strong and empowered while still a little sore lol. We had to do squat pulses for 40secs and I only felt the burn in the last 4secs. While we were working out the song Sexy Chic (David Guetta ft Akon) came on and even though I’d just finished squats I felt sooo pumped up because it was like “Yeaaaahhhh Buddy!” such a burst of energy came to me and I was like hell yeah we’re doing it today!

I’m still working on the diet portion but it’s coming along :). The smaller portions aren’t a problem, it’s more what to eat in between meals since I’m eating less food but more often. Supermarket sweep today (remember that show? soooo old! hahaha) so I want to grab some healthy-ish stuff to snack on.

I wanted to post at the end of the week on how this week was (probably still going to do it) but I just felt the urge to post on today. Yeah, feeling a little hyped and I’m typing this really fast lol. I’m like one of those guys on steroids who’s like “YEAH BRING IT!!!” ahahhahah. Ok, I’m going to go on with my crazy day and catch up with you later.

Have a good afternoon/evening!

Useless

NOTHING can ever prepare you for a session with a personal trainer. NOTHING. My arms feel dead and useless. When I got home and took a shower they’d tremble as I washed my upper body. I’m getting my trainer to do a meal plan for me to help me to be more disciplined, so I have to do a food journal for a week so she sees how I eat as well as a list of what I don’t eat. I’m going to do a list of what I actually eat as it’s easier than what I don’t eat – I’m a very picky eater. The good thing about the gym though is I drink way more water throughout the day when I’m going regularly than usual. *yay*

I think I’ll head there tomorrow just to hop on the elliptical for half an hour and then we have another session Saturday morning, the one that proceeds go to a charity. I was excited that I’ll be getting back in shape but I am in no way excited about the workouts that I will be doing. My husband will be training with me (*happy dance*) and this morning we really got it going. The friendly competition definitely adds a little fun to it.

Since I don’t use my mp3 player when I’m with a trainer I’m going to use it when I’m working out on my own. It’s good to have music that gets you going. When we were warming up on the treadmills this morning, we heard Take Over Control and it was very hard not to try to dance while walking/running when the beat was just coursing through us lol. I wasn’t about to fall though so I kept some slight head movements going so I didn’t lose balance :D.

Well that is just a little update. I’m praying we don’t do legs on Saturday as I can’t afford to have jelly legs all weekend. Will let you know how the event goes :).

“Progress”

by SymoneFLeave a Comment on “Progress”

Tomorrow I have a session with my trainer 🙂 sooo happy! I’ll be doing 4 sessions but I also have a free session as I signed up for a workout on the 24th  with the money going towards a charity for Ovarian Cancer. I signed up on the 12th as I got the email about it and I’ve been looking forward to it (the cause not the workout).

My husband will be training with me sometimes (if not all the time) so I look forward to this “bonding” time we will have together, which may consist of a very competitive spirit and pushing each other like we’re in boot camp but all for the greater good yeah?

I’ve been sticking to my smoothies and Smart Start and eating less junk. The gym will definitely help what I’ve been doing since not a single pound has been lost yet. Stupse. I will not be discouraged though, I’m on a mission and I won’t quit. But for now, my shepherd’s pie is calling me and it’s time for dinner anyway. Updates to come 🙂
