^^^That's AWESOME!! I have an elliptical. It is good, but it hurts my lower back. Wow, 2 hours for a workout...I haven't had workouts like that since high school track!

I get tired from just teaching 500 elementary school children a week.... not even going near a trainer.... SCARY!

I LOVE the elliptical machines. They are so fun!

OK OK OK!!! So, I am so excited right now I could scream.....

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I just had my first weigh in since I started with my trainer! I lost 1.5 pounds, but the most impressive was that I lost 4% body fat and gained 4 lbs of muscle! I got pinched all over with that fat calliper thingy and I lost like 4" on my arms, and 2" off my waist! I also went down like an inch everywhere else....

My trainer flipped out. He said I had lost the absolute maximum that you could in 2 weeks.

He totally high fived me!

WAHOOOO!!!!!!


I had to tell someone!!! It has been so hard, but I can't believe how rewarding it feels today.....my honey has his weigh in tonight, I hope he has great news too!!!

That is phenomenal! Congratulations!! What a quick return on your trainer investment!! Keep it up!! I'm so proud of you!

That is awesome....keep up the hard work!!

YAY!!! That Awesome!!!

Thanks so much you guys.... it is so nice to have this support system! You are so sweet..... *big hugs!!!*

SOOOO!!! My honey is doing great! He had his weigh in last night and did AMAZING! I am so proud of him... ...I am getting all weepy just typing this! He lost 3% body fat and gained 3lbs of muscle. He also went down in inches all over....my own hottie is getting unveiled before my eyes....

It is so amazing!!!

I only have 4 more sessions with Garrett...just too expensive to keep going. $$$$ Wouldn't it be nice to have unlimited resources!! Ah well....I have learned alot.

We did decide to invest in 2 more months of sessions for Darrin though, since he is doing so great and not near his goal like I am. I think he will totally benefit from them. I can take what I have learned and keep going on my own, I think.

Right on! That is awesome!!

I skipped today....when was the last time you jumped rope....I think I was like maybe in highschool....

UGH! My trainer that it would be fun for me to do this torture today. I skipped rope for 50 min, interspersed with push ups and sit ups, and running up and down stairs and lunges and burpees (I won't even tell you what those are) ...should I go on....

I have a feeling I am going to be one very sore puppy in the morning!

YOu are amazing! That is just wonderful that you are seeing such success. I am SO proud of you!

I've heard that jumping rope for a workout gets to be really tough after awhile. I don't do it because it'll kill my knees.

Thanks Edye!!! *BIG HUGS!*

Actually, if you jump the right way, it actually works out your core, (abs) and your calves. You basically jump on your toes.....

I have never sweat so much in any training session as I did today...my hair was SOAKED...it was kind of embarrassing!

So, today is most likely my last day with my trainer... ....well full time anyways.

..... I need to clarify, it won't be my last time ever, just as often.

I can't afford the 3 days a week, it is too much $ with my honey doing it too. I totally want him to get the maximum benefit from this, since he still is a ways from his goal. So, I have cut back on my sessions so he can have more.

I hope that I have the stamina to push myself alone as hard as he pushes me. I will only see him once a week now, and that is really hard. I am afraid that I will start slipping backwards once I have to do it all alone.

3 days without him and once with him.....EEK!
