Til next time, my gummie!
I just got back from another wonderful training session with my big, russian trainer. My arms feel like jello. My legs are really struggling with stairs. I just want to curl up in the covers and sleep off the pain.
Rewind to yesterday: Boyfriend bought a bag of tasty gummie bears. He knows that one of my weaknesses is gummy candies - anything with that type of texture typically finds its way into my belly.
HOWEVER, I have found a new way of thinking.
The more crap I eat, the more time I waste at the gym. It’s a vicious cycle and really, it’s quite simple. I hate wasting time, it’s a huge pet peeve of mine, and wasting time at the gym trying to burn the last 15 is just plain dumb if I could have avoided it by eating healthy in the first place.
It may be over the top, but it’s getting me past the gummie bear temptation - and that’s all I needed ;)
Gyms and personal trainers.
I signed up for a personal trainer today. I sort of didn’t want to, but I really think I need some help and some guidance, regardless of how stubborn (and cheap!) I am.
Now it’s not all vanity, this whole going to the gym thing. Diabetes runs rampant in my family, as well as heart disease and thyroid disease. So this whole movement is a lifestyle thing.
Losing 10-15 lbs wouldn’t be bad, either :)
I had my fitness exam today and a trainer really worked me out. Unbelievable! I’ve been going to the gym and I thought I pushed myself fairly hard with my strength training, but after only 15 minutes in the weight room with the trainer, and my whole body just aches. This is the exact reason why I felt I needed to put in the extra money.
Sure, there’s some slight buyers remorse - but to be completely honest, if I could do it without any help or knowledge, I would have done it by now. And it was nice having someone around telling me how I should be executing the exercises (and what was good/bad about my form).
Only the next few months will tell! 2008 will be my year.
Oh goodness, I am going to be SO sore tomorrow. YESSS!!
