Throughout life pain, work and joy seem to layer our lives, almost coinciding. You can't have the joy of a child without the pain of child birth. And you can get results with your body without hard work and sweat.
I'm feeling sore this morning. I had my first personal training experience today. Oh boy. He showed me how to work more than one muscle at a time.....let's just say I was shaking at the end of one such exercises. He also educated me about eating. He said I've already cut sugar (yea!)which was my first step. Now I need to; limit carbs, eat more protein (except fish which we learned contains LOTS of mercury and it can take our body up to 3 years to expel it from our system. gross.)and all fruits and veggies are okay. He also said that, due to the female hormones, our blood sugar tends to lower during a work out and we tend to crave sugar more than a dude. To avoid that he advised that I consume an energy bar and sports drink 5-10 min. after my work out...not during, which will hamper fat burn. He also encouraged me. He said that within a week, I should notice I'm having an easier time.....and that's when I get to increase the weights. Then it will be hard again.....then easy.....then hard.....OY!
I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Go...go...go!! You're doing great :) This is a great post and I'm really proud of you for being so dedicated! Much love...resh.
That's awesome, Katy! I'm so proud of you!! Your dedication will pay off, for sure. I don't have a gym membership, so I do workout DVD's in my living room while Maddie naps. In case you need a break from your gym routine, a new DVD I got is "30 Day Shred" by Jillian Michaels (the trainer on The Biggest Loser) and it's only 20 minutes, but it's weights/cardio/abs intervals and it's TOUGH!! Only $9.99 at Fred Meyer if you want to give it a try! :-) Love ya! See ya at the playdate!
I hope you can get out of bed tomorrow! ha ha! I'm proud of you, Katy!
Way to go Katy! Keep it up. See ya Friday!
