Me and my sick personal trainer

And by that I mean ill. Poor thing, she's got the flu, or something equally nasty. We met once last week instead of twice (I hit the gym both days for workouts), and she had to cancel tonights appointment as well. I went anyway for a workout. I needed to stretch things out after shoveling snow for an hour yesterday, or tomorrow morning I don't think I'd have been able to move.

So I'm feeling better about the working out. Getting back on track, even dragged a friend along tonight. Eating and counting points... well... Most days I'm on track with that, but weekends unfortunately do not seem to fall under the category of "most days". Crap. I need to work on that.

Good news is I'm down (again) by another 0.6. Not much, I know, but considering my weekend included fish and chips AND poutine, I think I'm entitled to a little happiness about this loss. SO glad I've been working out, or I'd never have seen that loss! Let's see if I can keep the scale moving in the right direction despite TOI this weekend. :)

Another NSV

Hit the gym tonight for a PT session, R was down with a migraine, which is only fair, I was off sick with one yesterday.

Stayed and worked out anyway. Woohoo!

WI yesterday was good, down 0.6. Doesn't seem like a lot.

It's a lot. I ate crap all weekend, so I'm completely amazed I had any kind of loss.

I really need to get my ass back in gear and start planning meals again. I'm flying by the seat of my pants right now, and not getting anywhere. Tomorrow night we'll have to do groceries. I've got lunch figured out already. :)

workout

Did it! Got back to the gym for a session with my personal trainer, and it was great! She really pushed me, which is awesome, and I did weight reps I didn't know I could do. Started with the harder and heavier at the beginning, so at the end when I was tired, the lighter weights were enough work.

Ate really well, tracked everything in my journal, and feeling good. Had a gain at WI this morning, but a measly 0.2 isn't much to worry about, especially not after this weekend.

I've got another personal training appointment on Thursday, and looking forward to it. Every session with R makes me realize she's awesome, and that my last trainer was... kinda a twit.

Personal training attempt

Had a session booked tonight, but my P.T. came down with a migraine and had to cancel. Poor thing has my sympathies, because I get those too, so I know how bad they are. But because I hadn't thought to give her my cell number, I didn't know the appointment was cancelled until after my warmup.

So I stayed and did 20 minutes of cardio. I know, not a big deal, but with my walks to and from work, that made for 60 minutes of cardio today.

I've been so miserable lately, and I think getting my butt back to the gym is really going to help.

Now all I have to do is solve my work issues, win the lottery, and I'll be fine! Tongue in cheek, but really, I do need to find a new job, and I need to save some money to go back to school, even via distance ed. Goal for this year, save money. Which reminds me, I need to go make lunch for tomorrow so I'm not tempted to buy it.

back to the gym

So tonight was my first personal training session with my trainer. That was supposed to happen three weeks ago but then I broke two toes. Slight need for recovery there.

She is awesome. We talked about goals, challenges that I have, nutrition (down to easier and hardest part of following WW), and took all my measurements. Only did about a half hour workout, but considering I hadn't been to the gym since September, I'm feeling good. Then of course was my 15 minute walk home to finish up my cardio.

Back on track, and feeling much better. :)
