Feel The Burn

WOW!  So yesterday I felt amazing and near the end of the day I started to get a little bit sore.  I stretched on and off the whole day.  

Can I just say that when I woke up this morning.  I felt the wrath of PT today!  This little meme made me laugh so hard because that is how I feel today!  I had another 30 minute PT (and now I am all caught up on any missed time).  I thought I was going to die!

Started with a walk/run for 10mins then got right into it.  He was training someone today and this gentleman took over my second half.  He did good!  I felt every fiber of muscle in my legs today Ha Ha Ha.

Our little guy woke up with a really nasty cold today.  We had plans to meet a friend of mine who we haven't seen since we got married.  He came from Arizona for a wedding.  Now we don't have anyone to watch our son, so my husband said he would stay home with him.  I feel bad because our date night will not be happening, but I love him for doing that so I can still see a friend.

Well, onward for another busy weekend.  I have missed two Piyo classes after tomorrow because we have had so much going on.  I hate it.  BUT I will be able to start next Saturday, so that makes me happy!

I still have no decided if I will follow into the footsteps of my friend and start training for that competition.  I am figuring it all out in my mind.  I also need to find the time to discuss it with my trainer.  So many things to think about!

Ok, I am tired, and sore, and tired :)  This is blog post 96!  Almost to 100!  I don't keep up as much as I should, but 100 is impressive I think!  Have a great weekend everyone!

First Workout Post Surgery

Well, I had my first PT (Personal Training) session since my surgery!  I am one week post surgery and still have slight surface soreness and definitely some internal soreness.  I don't see myself running for maybe a few more days.  All of that bouncing and jiggling still isn't super comfy yet.

I was nervous for PT today but excited to get back into it.  I was off last week because I had to change my PT day with a changing work schedule and it landed on my surgery day.  That meant, because my trainer had the time, that I did an hour to make up for last week!  WOW was it a hard hour!  My

trainer pushed me and near the end I had to tie my shirt up to get it off my incisions because it was sticking and pulling.  OWIE! 

I seriously needed one of these handy 80's tshirt clips.  Don't act like you don't know what these are or that you never used one.  WE ALL DID!  :)  After I was able to adjust my shirt I felt better but realized something about myself.  I REFUSED to look at myself in the mirror.  All of this progress and my body still makes me turn away!  I closed my eyes (which also helps me focus on breathing and finishing strong with my reps).  I get distracted when I see myself and when I feel tired it makes me feel even MORE tired watching myself.

I think it didn't help that for the past week I have been so over bloated from surgery PLUS my period should come this coming week. Not sure though since my body has been through a lot recently.  Just been feeling a bit blah lately and that is ok, but it now is time to snap out of it and get back into the swing of things.

Back to the eating and fitness schedule.  We have some time off coming up followed by the start of the school year!  I can't even believe our baby is going to be in Kindergarten!  These years are flying by!  AHHHH!

Ok, that was my squirrel moment HaHaHa  I am having such a hard time focusing because I got nailed with an awful sinus unfection this morning and can't even keep it together to type.

Thanks for reading and I will try to post again soon!

Time To Face The Food

I feel like that is me telling my daughter "Oh honey....those are yummy.  Mommy has had 20 already!  Do you want to share one more with me?"  It truly is ridiculous.  It is time to.....

FACE THE FOOD!

I seriously need to get this food and eating together already.  I need to focus on a leaner intake and cut down on my carbs and sugars.  I don't eat NEARLY as much as I used to or as poorly as I used to, but I still love my junk.

Hello......my name is Beth......and I am a carb-aholic.  It is awful and I hate it but I love them and they love me and you can't tell me anything otherwise!  Pizza, sandwiches, pastas.  I also am realizing that despite trying to eat better, I still have a higher sugar intake.  Ice cream!  Curse you ice cream!  Slowly but surely I am trying to tweak it without getting overwhelmed so that I stick with it instead of giving up on it.

I am dedicated this week to my fitness routine and planning on sticking with that better (YES including my PT "homework") but I have GOT to get this food thing together because I want to start seeing results faster and the only way I am going to do that is if I discipline myself more and really get to it!

My patient that referred me to my trainer had a series of three photos that she posted online.  Month one, month two and month three. HOLY CRAP!  The muscle definition and tone she has gotten has been incredible!

My friend Yurisa has been with her trainer probably a short while longer than me and has dropped 30lbs and looks amazing. 

OBVIOUSLY I am doing something wrong!  The only thing I am thinking that isn't quite in tune yet is my eating.  I am so frustrated and aggravated today!!!  I just want this all to be done and be fit and just maintain already.  I figure though it took me probably almost 20 years and 2 kids to get to the point I was at.....I know it can't happen over night.

Ugghhh....I just want the day to come where I can't really find a spot that I see on my body and say "ugghhhh I can't wait for that to be tighter/more toned/not so flabby".  I also wish I didn't think this way about my body.  One day I think I look amazing and then I see myself in a picture or just looking in the mirror the next day and think I look huge.  I mean compared to where I was, I look and feel amazing, but I am not there yet.  I have SUCH a far way to go.

HOW MUCH LONGER!?  Probably not as long if I just face the food, listen to my amazing trainer, and just get shit done already!!!!
