Hi all,
Sorry I did not write last night, but I was just feeling downright yucky when I got home. I actually sat in the car before leaving the gym and before getting out of the car at home until I felt good enough to move. I think part of it was hunger and the other part was doing the abdominal exercises.
Overall it was a pretty good workout. I do really well in the beginning when we are doing the arms and legs (although I really dislike lunges especially weighted lunges!), but once we move on to the abdominals you would think I had been working out for three hours. Wow do they take a lot out of you.
Last night I learned how to sit down and get up on one foot and then sit down again only on one foot. Yeah I know you are all saying that is so easy, well try it a few times and then let me know how it went. I did some bicep curls, glute pulls, lots more arm stuff, step ups, weighted jumping jacks, weighted frog leaps, and leg lifts with scissor movements.
I just look at all the other people working out at the gym and hope that someday it will look as easy and effortless for me, because right now the grunting comes out, the sweat flies (and I do mean it flew all around last night), and the water is guzzled. I walk out feeling very, very old and crippled.
Today I did go back and walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes and then did the bike for 15 minutes. Tomorrow I will try and do some of the weights that I did yesterday, but I can almost guarantee that I won't be hard on myself and that is why I have a trainer!!!!
Have a great night all!!!

Just some thoughts from a bibliofile on the road and at home.
Welcome
Just a short note of thanks for taking the time to read these thoughts. I might put some recipes here, there may be a good book or movie review, otherwise it might just be some ramblings. Stay tuned.

Woohoo! Sounds like you are making progress, even though it's super hard!
WOW! I am impressed. I thought of you and felt a little guilty as I rode my bike only 20 min last night...but I did walk to the Target Center and up and down the steps twice (to get nachos and pop)! I promise to do more tonight. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks guys!!!! Glad I can be an inspiration Jodi. Went this morning and did a lot of the same workout from Monday. Did not do the weighted jumping jacks or the frog jumps, but almost everything else. Arms are a bit sore this afternoon :)
