Woke up this morning with an unsteady stomach, went to work anyway only to have to go back home after 2 hours. One of my grandkids (who lives with us) and my husband had issues today as well. Last week it was going around work, guess I didn't dodge it.
I had planned on going to the gym after work today to walk on the treadmill, but that plan got shot to heck. I'm going back to work tomorrow, and have a half hr session with Debbie after. Other than the intestinal distress today, I also noticed that my stomach muscles were a bit sore from my workout yesterday. We worked on core strength, and I found out two things..... 1) I have no flexibility, and 2) I have no muscle strength anywhere in my body!
Sitting here watching "The Biggest Loser" on tv is inspiring to me, and even though I'm not feeling too well tonight, I am looking forward to going to the gym tomorrow evening!

Am I REALLY going to do it this time????
There is NO TURNING BACK NOW.
I am COMMITTED this time.
I have SPENT THE MONEY.
I have SET UP APPOINTMENTS with a PERSONAL TRAINER.
Soooo......what's going to be different about this time, as opposed to all the times before? How many times have I joined Weight Watchers (which really works if you work it!) only to stop after a few months? How many times have I joined a gym or ladies health club, gotten locked into a contract, only to get discouraged or frustrated? How much money have I wasted? How many times have I vowed to walk more, run up and down the stairs more, ride my bike, play harder with the grand-girlies? How many books, websites, and television shows about fitness have I read and watched, only to "not have the time or energy" to get a program going? HOW MANY? Too many.
THIS time, I am trying something different. I joined a gym (again) that just opened in my neighborhood. The day after that, I met with a personal trainer. We talked, she assessed, I asked questions, she measured, and I paid for 20 half- hour sessions with her.
I am 37% body fat. I am 5'2 and 3/4 and weigh 181.9 pounds.
That was yesterday.
This morning I went to the gym with a friend. The owner showed us how to work the treadmills, and away we went for 40 minutes. We visited just like we did when we got together for walks during the summer, and the time flew by!
Monday I have my first session with Debbie. I'm excited but nervous.
I'm shaking in my Nikes.
