Monday, Feb 25 2008 - Monday- Its a new Week, Its gonna be a good one!
View CRAZYMOMMY's food & exercise for this day
I started back with my trainer Josh at the gym today. I can hardly pick up Andrew. I know I am going to be soooo sore tommorow, but in a good way. I will know that I worked hard. We did back and biceps for thirty minutes, then about 5 minutes of abs. I have been doing all of these body parts on my own over the last couple of months without Josh. I just do not push myself nearly as hard without him. I thought I was really working my abs. I have been doing pilates type core exersize, and I have really been pushing the weights in my weight lifting class. I had almost forgotten how hard Josh pushes me!
I wish I could afford to always have a trainer. It is worth the investment, it truley is. I am going to stick with him untill I reach my goals if at all possible. I have 21 more pounds to loose and I just know that if I work out with Josh pushing my I will get there faster. I feel like I push myself pretty hard, but one cannot push themselves as hard as a trainer can. Its just not even physically possible. The weight that I can lift on my own and max out, I can do just that little bit more if he is there to help and spot me.
I am feeling really good today. Working out really does get those endorphins going and get my day feeling so much more positive. My depression is much easier to deal with if I start the day in the gym. I am going to try very hard to force myself to go to the gym no matter how I feel when I wake up. I am so good at making excuses to not go to the gym. Why, I still do not know. I know very well how much better I feel, how much more smoothly my day goes if it starts with a work out. Some how I am still so good at the excuses. This week I am going to really try and push through my stupid excuses and go no matter what. Monday through Friday. I will get there. That is my major goal for this week. That and staying withen my calorie goal.
Another thing is figuring out why I cannot seem to loose any weight. Josh thinks I need to add protein. I don't know. I may try his protein shakes and see. Who knows??? They are really kinda expensive though. He says he will get them for me at half price if I like them. I may buy one on Wed and try it. Josh is really big on making sure I eat every few hours. So I will try hard this week to make sure I eat six times a day as Josh has directed. Healthy choices.

Glad that you had a good work out with your trainer yesterday. I'm going to start going to the gym soon too, at least some of the time will be with a trainer, though I doubt I can swing it every time. I have the same problem with protein. I bought 2 South Beach Diet bars from the store to try today. We'll see.
