Yo-yo no more

I probably won’t write about EVERY meeting with the trainer.  But, right now it’s in its new stages and so exciting to me I just want to write it down and remember it forever!

My legs (mainly the backs of my legs) and my butt were no less sore today than they were yesterday.  Jessie loved this and said “good!”.  It may hurt, but at least I know that something got worked! lol.  Today we did upper body stuff.  I managed to hang by my elbos from 2 straps in the air and do 5 lifts with my legs….. I’m still amazed!  We did crunches and push ups (on a workout ball and on a workout bench) and lots of squats (my legs hurt more now than they have over the past 2 days).  Jessie is SO encouraging though!  She kept saying how “fit” our kids parents were going to be.  We also met her hubby who told us how awesome he thought it was that Brett and I are training together.  (yeah, I think so too :-)  We trained for nearly an hour and a half.  She found out that Brett and I both have the day off on Thursday, so she’s scheduled for us to do an extra workout on that day.  So, for the rest of this week, we will meet with her on Wednesday at 7am, Thursday 11am and Saturday 7am.  We go in the gym tomorrow and I am to do 35 minutes of cardio while Brett does weights.  (I guess that’s my homework).

Something that Jessie said today that stuck with me.  While doing rounds of push-ups, crunches and squats, she said “… and when you feel like you can’t do a single thing more, when your body is telling you ‘no way’, always do 2 more!”.  Hmm… I never thought of it that way!

So, I am enjoying it so far.  I’m hoping this will get me out of my 190’s plateau and into the next decade!!!
