Metamorphosis

A little information about me :-)

My photo
Within the last couple of years I’ve had some pretty exciting things happen in my life. I purchased a home, I received my first degree this past September, I was recently engaged in April, and my son graduated from high school June 4th. In an effort not to bore you with every detail of my life, I will attempt to keep it simple and mainly discuss those things that deal with my weight loss issues, goals and tasks at hand. But let’s be real, I am a female approaching marriage, surely I will touch on many other subjects.

Blame it on the Weather

I've been doing just fine with the eating part, even drinking water...I've been going to all my trainer sessions (well not like I go all week), but still. Anyway it is the "in between" stuff that I should be doing that I have not. For instance:

Kickboxing - those martial arts people have not seen me since late October.
Elliptical machine - I throw my coat over it when I get home.

I meet with Chad tonight and I am sure he will want an update of what I've done since last seeing him. Our last session he asked if I had been doing my cardio and because I am such an awful liar I said "no" and he actually said "WHY"...I was stunned. I felt like a child and answered like one.."I don't know" was all I could think to say. THEN he went on to ask "Did you get caught up in some television show"? wth...but then I thought, why even get offended because that is probably what happened anyway.

Funny how I say I am not a good liar since I verbally promised him I would do kickboxing at least 3 times last week..even threw in 2 classes in one day. I've noticed that I say things to make myself sound good ...now if I can just get the doing things to look good down...LOL smh

IMMADOBETTER
at least I better or I'll be wearing a shawl over my wedding gown.

Determined


Well I am happy to report that I saw my trainer (2nd session) on yesterday. He warned me that this session would be harder and it is going to get even harder every session. GREAT.
The session was indeed much harder than I anticipated. It was a session where everything he did looked easy until it was my turn. I have never lifted weights like that... EVER. Weights are one of those things females (like me) either walk by at the gym OR we never stay on it long enough to feel a burn.

I am a little sore today, which means there is a possibility of being bedridden tomorrow.

Today's goal is to attend kickboxing tonight, but as I fake punch the air (in my cube at work) it hurts so bad. I don't believe I have enough strength to punch on an actual bag.

My trainer (let's call him Chad because "my trainer" sounds like I have money) said I may need time to heal but you know how it is when you feel like Superwoman..OR when your wedding is around the corner.

So pray I make it to class tonight..but if I don't, I will climb onto my elliptical machine and count backwards :-)

Play Time is Over!


Wow, I have not posted since mid October. It is amazing how time flies and also how I lied and said I would not stay away as long as I did before :-).

Nothing much has changed. I have not really been losing since the last weigh in. I had my engagement party October 29th and have not set foot in a kickboxing class or glared over at my elliptical machine since. As a matter of fact, I have not even gone down hwy 6 toward the park..I have been detouring as much as possible lol.

TODAY is "another" new day. This week I will get myself back together and do those things I had been doing that were successful. Kickboxing here I come! I was preparing for this day for some time now..I even went to a consultation with a trainer. The consultation went well, he measured my body fat, checked my balance (I wondered why), and he had me to do other little things that showed him where I was fitness-wise. That little consultation felt like a workout for me. I was even sore the next day..wth.

I made the decision to go ahead with the trainer and had my first session with him this past Friday. It was enjoyable in certain parts..others not so much. I posted on Facebook that it went well until I discovered my hearing had become impaired. I was so tired and nauseated afterwards that I could not hear. They say what won't kill you will make you stronger..in this case I better be FINE lol..WE SHALL SEE.

Time is winding down...I am excited, nervous, paranoid, and anxious at the same time.
