Getting Fit!

I totally failed at blogging last week. The week was totally off wack between my husbands work hours, to starting a new workout schedule. Some days I wasn't getting home until almost noon, then I had writing to get done. If you stop by for my blog posts, sorry. And hey, if you're stopping by for your first time, you probably had no idea last week was a total fail.

Have you ever worked with a personal trainer? I hadn't until last week. I was nervous. Was this guy going to yell at me the way you see on TV? Would he be soft spoken and encouraging? How would he make me do what I don't want to do?

Simple, just the look. The watching and the, "How many did you do?" My answer. "15." His reply, "You've got 5 more. Let's go." 

 Near the end of an hour workout, I do admit, when his back is turned, I stop whatever task I was assigned, pant and wonder why the hell I'm torturing myself. Then he turns around and its back at it like I never stopped. OMG, it's like the longest, yet shortest hour of my life. When I get home, I fall onto the couch and it takes every aching muscle to get me back up again, and I think, in a few weeks this will be so worth it! I really hope it is.

Last week, I felt like I had broken ribs if I laughed or sneezed. OUCH!

However, as I sat on the toilet (TMI, sorry), I had a smaller role in my midsection. Which in turn put a smile on my face. The pain did something. *high five!*

I'm working out with a group of women with the trainer. I'm impressed we all came back for day 2 last week, now to see if we all return for day 3 tomorrow. On top of this torture to my body, I am staying on my gym schedule as well. Hopefully in a few weeks, it starts to pay off. This quote above with the lady running, that's what is keeping me going. I'm sharing it just in case I have any blog readers out there who are just getting started in their workouts as well. Just keep going! The torture will pay off -- or so all these fitness quotes keep telling me. 

Happy Monday! You've got this! -Lacey
