OWWWWWWW!

I went back to the gym this morning and did a lot of what I learned on Tuesday night. I had forgotten at least one (will have to see what that is) and could not get on the machine for the obliques due to two others using that. I did do the crunches and the plank (that one only once versus twice). Then at work today I had to go up and down the stairs twice. Yikers that hurt. Haven't made the trip upstairs here at home yet, but hoping it goes well. My thighs are just killing me right now :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Awwwwwwww

In a bit of pain today. It hurts when I am sitting and then getting into a standing position. I am not sure how tomorrow will be, but Erin did tell me that Ibuprofen would be my friend :) We will have to see. I didn't go to the gym this morning since I was to sore to move. Planning on being there in the morning and will try some of the exercises I learned yesterday in combination with some from the week before. Will have to see how it all goes :)

Have a great evening all.

Session Two

Well I have survived another session of personal training. I worked really hard on balance last week and then I didn't do any balance items!!!! It was a totally different workout except for the walking lunges YIKERS. We did discover that I have a pretty strong back and Erin (my trainer) had to increase my weights on two exercises already. She was pretty happy about that--ask me tomorrow how I feel!!!!!

Today I did lats, obliques, biceps, and a bunch of other stuff that I don't remember the names for. Towards the end I did have to ask her if it was normal to have an upset tummy. Last time and this time I got to a point where I felt like I was going to puke. She assures me that it is normal and that it will get better. She did leave out one exercise since she was concerned. I could have done it, but she was worried that I would throw up on the machines.

At the end I did only make an additional ten minutes on the treadmill as I thought I might throw up. Now am home trying to get something on my tummy to see if that will help. I am beginning to think I don't get enough protein since that seems to be what I need when I leave there. I will have to work on that--I am not much of a meat eater much to the shock of my family. I will have to do some experimenting, but right now cottage cheese is going down well :)

Next session is March 1st!!! Erin keeps telling me it will get better, but I don't know, when you look at some of the other people working out they don't look like they are having a fun time. I know this will all work out at the end and next year at this time I will really appreciate what I am doing now!!!!!

First day

Well I had my first session yesterday and boy do my arms hurt today. I managed to almost make it through all the exercises and all the reps. Towards the end my arms were in a lot of pain so those got to be a lot harder. I did manage to do the wall squat thing for two times at 20 seconds a time. I really did not think I would be able to do that!!!

I know that it will get better the more I do it. I really have to work on my balance as I don't seem to have much which becomes a problem for some of the exercises. I will go into the gym tomorrow morning and work on balance and probably try to do some more arm reps, but that will depend on my arms. This morning I could barely move my right arm--not good since I am right-handed :)

Next session is supposed to be Monday, but I might need to switch that one since I forgot I have something Monday. Will call and get that changed tomorrow. I will keep you posted.

Changes in 2010

I know it has been a while since I wrote, but I didn't have a lot to say. This past week though I have decided to make a big personal change and well, I hired a personal trainer! So starting Monday I will be working on getting myself in better physical shape :) I had a practice session (not a full session) on Thursday and I am still in pain from that. A little freaked out about Monday, but know this is something I need to do. I will try and keep this blog up to date with how things are going, but as some of my faithful readers know (Becca :)) I have trouble writing here. Hopefully it will get better!!!

Here is to changes in 2010!!!!
