40lbs lost.....and then a few gained back!

I reached my goal!!!!! I did it I did it! Merry Christmas to me!

Christmas Eve morning I hit my goal!

why then does my ticker NOT reflect that. Well because Christmas eve morning i started eating christmas foods. So back on it came! LOL

But I know i can do it now. Almost there

Hmph

Last month, I managed to work out 26 of 30 days. Thats pretty awesome for me if I do say so myself. This month.....hmmm.....so far 6 times. UGGGG. NOT GOOD.

Thanks to the stomach flu I lost another 2 lbs (initially I lost 5, but 3 of that came back when I got dehydrated).

I have been behaving on the diet though and that helps at least, but I'm running out of time to GET FIT for Jamaica.

I have 2 training sessions left with the trainer. Lets hope I make the most of them! They kick my butt and I love it!

From Skeptic to Believer

So, I've always been a skeptic of trainers.

They cost a fortune and really, if I can get the "workout" plan from someone isn't that good enough. Womens health offers GREAT workout plans, and they vary. Ideally, this should be enough. For some people it might be.

But recently I obtained 5 sessions for almost free. I've had my first two and I am a true believer that they are worth thier weight in gold. I could have done the first workout alone (if someone gave me the instructions) but there is NO way I would have pushed myself to do it in the time she did, nor would my last rep (till failure) have lasted until actual failure. I cheat myself. I can't cheat someone else.

My second workout was something I could never do alone. It was a medicine ball work out that involved catching and such. And it was great.

I was at a plateau for a very long time and since my first session 3 days ago, I am down 3 lbs already....and I FEEL stronger. AMAZING.

Now if I could just find the money to keep going when these 5 are over.....
