Morning Girls:
Sandra - you're doing awesome! Your enthusiasm, and beginning work with a trainer, is great. Keep it up. I hope the trainer isn't an Atkin's **** though. Some of them can be. I have heard that second hand.. Stick to your gun.
Sue - I wondered where you have been. Shesh. That's some hours! Will the hours go back down? That will probably make the difference in how 'on board' you are. Stick with it. Don't wander to far off...
Well yesterday was one of the most painful days of my dieting carreer.. To say we bumped it up a notch is an understatement in my book. LOL So we rode our bikes the 3 miles to the rec center.. It would have been fabulous if it wasn't for the few sections that were at an incline! When we got the to gym, however, I found it interesting that I walked the 2 miles on the track like butter, and could have even gone for a 3rd . It was nothing compared to the bike ride! LOL
Then we headed home, and it was much easier except for the dirt road we took, and that wasn't to fun. But at the end of the road, we got to witness something amazing. A bald eagle swooped down out of her nest, caught a prairie dog and flew back up to her nest. It was awesome. We were tired, but reminded ourselves that we would have never seen that if we were in the car. It would be great to see again. I can't promise I can do the bike ride again any time soon. I do think I need to get some more of the bulk off first. Pumping my legs to carry 180 pounds up inclines was to much of a cardio right now. I have minor heart troubles (serious palpitations in which a pacemaker has been discussed, and I was born with a murmur) so it was a little easier for Andy, even at 320 to do the trek than myself. Anyhow, long story short, I was proud of myself for making it, but not sure of the repeat. LOL Will keep you informed.
Oh and the scale was up 1.5 pounds, so I think it was due to the mucsle work I did yesterday. My pubic bone is killing me this morning. I always hate that feeling!
Have a great day, and i'll check in later.
