I am so glad that the election is over as frankly I am ready to move on.

Today went great diet wise. I was careful w/ calories and had major work out w/ trainer. I think she is trying to kill me. She made me do so many exercises w/ bands and balls and balance tables. This is supposed to "engage your core" and burn more calories. To me it seems like she's trying to teach me to be in the circus. But, the session burned 400+ calories according to my pulse monitor watch and that is worth it. Plus, I feel so proud when I am able to do the stuff she has me do. Who would've ever thought of doing push-ups w/ your hands on balls?

I am learning about a whole other world that I never knew anything about. I have never exercised. Not regularly. Not ever. In middle school, I played on some teams, volleyball, softball. But, We never did major training. It just wasn't something I thought about. And when I think about it, I don't remember anyone in my family exercising regularly.

So, I have decided it is the key and no matter how bad I want to quit when she is pushing me to do 5 more crunches, I will not quit. I will keep on and exercise on my days away from her. I am convinced that this is the only way to get what I want.

Now I have to go and try to get kids to bed and catch up on some work while I finish watching the election returns.
