Last night after work I was motivated. Went to the YMCA near my job instead of my house. Asked about the Women working on weights class and talked to the trainer. She seemed nice enough. I did my cardio 4 miles running, then weight routine from trainer, then cardio class, and then the Women working weights class was starting. I stayed purposely to see what they were going to do. The trainer saw me and invited me to come into the class. Hey, I don’t don’t ever turn down free training. I went. It wasn’t as intense as I would have liked it. It was bunch of middle aged woman bitching about how hard it was to do simple exercises. The trainer even had told me before that some the women have been in her class for 2 years! Please…I wouldn’t be broadcasting that…it makes her look bad. They didn’t even know the correct form for some of the exercises. She asked how I liked and I told her about the level and she promised if I came back and tried it again she would up the level for me. So I might go back next Thursday. Nothing wrong with free training. I am so blessed.

Gotta go…work calls.

Last night I never made the dream board…I did write some ideas down and got that done. I wanted to go the YMCA and do Yoga and my cardio. Never happened. It started to pour down rain and allowed myself to use that as an excuse not to go. I went to bed early…7:00 p.m. I was in bed sleeping. I guess I needed the sleep.

Today I’m suppose to go do cardio and weights (on my own). It’s hard to get there on my own without a trainer or a friend waiting on me. But today I am going. I am going after work and to a different YMCA. This YMCA I’ve been to before. I am going to see if they have the W.O.W. training that I did at the other Y. I will see how they do it there and if the trainer is any good. If he or she is good I might sign up for next month there. I am not sure. I think I really need to let go of all these trainers and trust myself and just do it. I know what to do. I just have to do it. I have my exercise routine from my trainer and all I have to do is follow that. It’s not that hard or complicated. It should be easy. It’s just getting there is the hard part. I’m going directly after work so I won’t have any issues with going home and getting sleepy or laying down for a few minutes and falling asleep. Right after work and I have a goal to get this done. If it is earlier enough and they have some classes I like, I might even join one of them.

I need to redicate myself to my goals again. I don’t want backslide and I feel like I am starting to do that. When I have a lot of free time (unscheduled workout time) I become anxious and fearful. I need to get a good routine down that I can follow on my own with or without any personal trainer. I need to be powerful in my own right. That’s the plan…workout and then devise a workout plan of my own, that works for me. I’ll keep you posted as to how it goes buddies. Have a good day!

Making a dream board tonight. Going to hang up all my dreams on a poster board. I am def. going to do pulls up before the new year. I am tired today. Rough day at work. Lately every day after work I want to go out to eat to all you can eat places! What’s up with that? I know…I haven’t yet, but the feelings are there. Monday, I went to kickboxing and cycling. Tuesday I went to trainer, and then I ran 4 miles. Today I just want to eat…I have no plan, no one but myself to be accountable to. I won’t eat though. I will go and do cardio. I am thinking cardio and then yoga. Or Yoga then Cardio but it’s better to do Yoga after cardio so I can really relax at the end.

Gotta go back to work. Have a good one!

I am only seeing one trainer now. I stopped the group training class for this month. After the trainer didn’t show up the last two times we had group training and we had sub trainers it really turned me off from taking that class. I can take that class at another Y for $12 cheaper. I was only taking it there for that trainer and if I cannot be promised that he will be the teacher there is no since me signing up there to take that class. I am staying with my personal trainer.

I am very attached to her and she works me out hard…although she is thinking of taking a job (an hour away) training in Tampa. She isn’t sure yet because she has young kids. She would work at the same place her husband does. I don’t see how she would be able to work there and still personal train at home. We’ll see if I have to find a new trainer soon.

I went for Chinese food last night (buffet)…I didn’t binge, but I’m sure the calories were way high. I tried to stay with the stir fried items. Tonight going to Red Lobster with all you can eat shrimp … concerned with this. Last time I went they had all these sauces that I just loved to dip into…sweet. I will be very mindful and pray before I go.

Gotta get to work. Talk to you all later. Have a great day!

I’m back to working out in the mornings. I wanted to go yesterday morning but couldn’t get up to go…I was too tired. This morning I was tired too, but had to get up to use the bathroom and while I was up I decided that it’s important I go this morning so I don’t have to spend all night at Y and cardio after weight training tonight. I was going to walk on the treadmill but I remembered they had cycling class. I signed up for that and went. Yeah…getting into cycling all of a sudden. It was really hard at first but I’m getting use to it and enjoy it. I wonder if it burns up as many calories as running. In this cycling class we got off the bike at times and did high impact cardio. It was all good.

I’m up on the scale again this morning…137 now It’s all the crap I ate this weekend. I went crazy and was sooooooo into the food. I had lots of sugar and lots of all you can eat restaurants. I know this is self defeating behavior but I do it any way. I had a hard week last week. Hopeful this week will be better. Still learning how to replace food with another activity when I get upset.

Can’t remember if I told you guys but my liver ct scan came back it was good. I don’t have cancer, the pancreas is swollen but the doctor told me that it could be my body and the way it is. We will do another blood test in a week or two to see if the levels in my liver have come down since I am off all of my supplements.

Last week in my group trainer, the teacher was out. I was pissed…we had a sub trainer for two class…one trainer teaches boot camp and he made the class just like boot camp…which I can take for free. I felt like that was a waste of my money, the other trainer was ok but they were not what signed up for. I am getting over it though. I hope my regular trainer shows up tonight. It’s the last class for Aug. since we started late and I want to find out if the other girls will sign on for another month. If not then I have to figure out what my workout schedule will be.

Gotta run for now. Have a great day!
