Week 2: A Little Easier…Sort Of

Monday, March 30th, 2009

The first session this week was much easier on me than the very first one. I didn’t feel like crap and my muscles didn’t hurt as much afterward as they did the very first time. I know that was to be expected because I was barely using them at all before I started working-out. Don’t get me wrong I was definitely feeling it this time but just not like I was going to die. LoL.

Ok, so my other trainer has started some new leg work outs with me. Can you say ouch? I definitely did and I’m saying it again today! But I know it’s going to be worth it in the long run! Also, I discovered this week that since the trainers are counting how many repetitions I’m doing and I’m not, it makes it so much easier for me to just focus on doing them and not focus on how many more I have left and I really like that part a lot.

Food? Ummm… Yeah, ok here is the thing. I didn’t write down what I’ve been eating this week but I know I haven’t done as well as I could. I’ve also found some triggers to my emotional eating and when it happens in the future I fully plan on occupying my mind with something else besides food. I will probably paint or go outside and take pictures.

I finally got to walk after the rain cleared out. To be honest, I was tired and felt blah and I didn’t want to walk but after I did felt so much better! Next week here I come!

Week 1: And the Journey Begins…

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

Tuesday the 17th was the first day of my personal training. I must say I was really nervous and excited at the same time. I didn’t know what to expect, the first day was really just to see where I am physically so there is an idea on how to move forward. I didn’t do too too much, but I definitely feel it in my legs. Must have been those darn squats.

My first day of walking was a bit challenging. I have spent all winter hibernating, getting no physical activity whatsoever and after ten minutes of walking I was ready to give up but I pushed through it and made it to the twenty minute mark and felt great afterward.

Even more challenging right now is what I am eating. I haven’t had a chance to make it to the grocery store to stock up on healthy foods but I have tried to make good choices. But, I have been drinking about four thirty-two ounce bottles of water a day which is helping me not feel the need to eat out of boredom and keeps me away from sodas. I don’t mind drinking water as long as its cold. =)

It was a bit rainy and chilly the past couple of days so I didn’t get to walk but once so I’m going first thing after work to the park and have another go at it. I’m so excited for this weeks workouts.
