Food Journal 3/23/11

I don’t have much time to blog tonight, I have a load of laundry to do, so this will be short and sweet!!  ;)

At the gym I worked out with my trainer for an hour, I went into the locker room to get something to eat (chicken), because I need to eat some protein in between working out with my trainer and doing cardio. There were some girls in costumes and I was sitting there listening to them talk about their routines, music, hair etc, so I asked them what they were doing and they told me that they were trying out for the “Roar”.   I thought that was pretty cool!  Interesting conversation! If I had more time and lived closer I would have watched them for a little bit.   Good luck to them!!  After I ate my chicken I went and worked out for a half hour on the ARC Trainer.   Well, I need to get my laundry done, so here’s my food journal…remember, “Dream BIG!”

Happy St Patricks Day! 3/17/11

In 2007 the company I work for, decided that they were going to launch a health fitness challenge, when I heard about it, I was not interested, they had a meeting about it and I didn’t even go to it.  Then I started hearing everyone talking about their personal trainers, and what they were doing..that got my attention. 

My employer decided that they were going to do a 2nd Corporate Health Fitness Challenge and I was in!  I thought this is my chance to get a personal trainer and if I didn’t like it, oh well, it was only 12 weeks.   My trainer now, Anthony Duran was one of the trainers.  Now this part is funny to me!  I’m telling this  because he already knows this story, but, it was suggested to me that I train with Anthony, by another trainer.  I said “no way, I’m not training with him!!”  Now in his defense I knew nothing about him, but the thought of training with a guy, any guy and me being so overweight, that was NOT going to happen!! LOL! So, I ended up with another women trainer who I was very lucky to get, she was an excellent trainer and taught me good form and technique and I still keep in touch with her to this day! 

Our next step and first session with our trainers was the Health Fitness Assessment Profile…that’s another story for tomorrow!! Till then here’s my food journal! Happy St Patty’s Day!! :)

Food Journal 2/15/11 & Workout

I had a really good workout tonight…I ran 4 miles and put the treadmill up on an incline, that really worked me out…then I did a spin class…I’ve been kind of comfortable lately and it’s time to refocus and kick it up a notch!  I don’t want to be complacent or comfortable…I read a quote today that really got me thinking… it said if you want to reach your goals you have to get uncomfortable first.

I still have a lot to get done…so here’s my food journal…
