OH Measurement Time!

What fun!  I had my session last night with Terri and was surprised to see the measuring tape out.  As you can probably already tell, things didn’t turn out so great!  I mean I didn’t gain any inches back but I didn’t lose anything and my body fat went up as result of a few extra jingles in my tummy…ugh everything is so much work.  I am really not mad that I didn’t lose anything I am more mad at the fact that I know I can lose and that I know I haven’t put the effort in the last few weeks like I should be doing.  I am fully aware that its my fault!  Terri did pull out her “she’s the only one on my team” speech.  I am sure some of her other client’s know that one ;-0!  But she is completely right and I needed a kick in the ass! 

 Terri really is on your side which is great to know you have in a trainer.  She isn’t there to just take your money.  She really wants you to succeed and move forward.  She knows she kicks my ass when I am there but I am not doing the work that I need to be doing on my own.  I think I am just at a standstill for the moment where I just feel exhausted.  I know I need to concentrate on myself right now and really figure out what it is that is making me lose my focus.

Grandma’s meatballs

Two weekends ago I was invited to my grandmother’s house for dinner but I also was invited to a birthday dinner.  I didn’t want to upset my grandmother so I figured I could pull off both invites.  I figured I would just have a meatball and a small amount of pasta.  She does make the best meatballs and she won’t be around forever!  And my reasoning was exactly what I told Terri on why I had to have two dinners that day.  Needless to say she was speechless…lol.  She said in all her years of training that I had the best excuse on why I needed two dinners that night..lol.  After discussing this with her I realized that I didn’t have to eat both dinners and that I am sabotaging everything I am trying to accomplish.  I realized I made those excuses up in my head because I was guilty and I knew I shouldn’t have had both dinners.  I really need to focus on what I want as a whole and stop thinking that if I have this today its fine i’ll get back on track tomorrow.  But it all ADDS up and FAST.  Which is sometimes hard to realize.

It’s that time of year….

STARBUCKS GINGERBREAD LATTE’S!!!!   Terri must be thrilled… :-)~.  Yes, I had one today but with skim milk and no whip cream.  Not the same but my hips will thank me!

What a week!

Last week was a rough one!  I didn’t have time to do much of anything other than WORK.  I hardly had time to use the rest room!  I managed to get three workouts out in which only one was on my own.  I had no time for my food log or blog.  There just aren’t enough hours in the day.  I was really drained and had no energy last week for anything.  I really need to kick ass in my workouts this week.  Pushups were much more of a struggle than they have been in a while.  Hopefully, it won’t be like that this week.  I hate when I feel like I have no strength. 

The workouts with Terri really helped me to relax!  She started showing me yoga moves and to my surprise I am actually liking it.  It is much harder than it seems.  I am really looking forward to learning more about yoga and adding it into my workout routine!

Soooooo Sore!!

I can’t walk today!  I trained with Terri on Tuesday night and it is now Thursday.  I guess it takes a full day for your body to realize the pain it was put through.  I have been wobbling around all day! I suppose it has something to do with the 100 lunges and 300 crunches I did!!!!  Ya looking forward to tonight…hahaha!
