Another Day on this fitness trip. Second trainer session since being back from vacation. Yay. Kendra is awesome, I can't brag enough about how great a decision it was for me to make myself accountable to this spunky encouraging little lady! #mytrainerrocks
I was reading a blog post today about the pitfalls that come for people who loose weight on diets, and loose a lot of weight very quickly. It talked about how it basically doesn't give a person's metabolism time to adjust and kick into gear, lots of people end up gaining lots of weight back and get supper bitter and depressed that they aren't able to keep the weight off. I became really grateful for how I'm going about my weightless adventure. I'm loosing weight by working on eating right (not over eating too) and exercising. I know deep inside myself that a diet just wasn't going to work for me. Not only because I've done diets in the past and failed at them, but because Diets always seemed like a temporary fix. I don't want to be overweight, unhappy and plagued with self damaging thoughts and feelings about myself anymore! NO MORE I SAY!!!
Driving home today I thought about how I'm feeling... and I kinda surprised myself by realizing that even with my sore muscles and everything, I felt really good. Better than I have in a long time. That right there, is what makes it worth it. I just wish I could go back in time and tell myself in my teens that it's worth it. That I can do hard things. I still have a hard time believing that I've done this work out stuff now for 73 days! That's only 17 more days until I hit 3 months! Ahhhh! three months, that's a whole quarter of a year! HOLY COW!
As silly as it is, I feel like choosing to start working out was one of the hardest adult decisions I've ever made. I'm proud of adult Elyse, she's pretty cool sometimes. ;)

Today my crazy co-worker Jane told me I looked like a ballerina, Ha! Thanks Blue leggings. I guess?!?
Today for work-out, I was running out of clean shirts, I need to do laundry again. Dang it! So I grabbed this green tee that I've worn to the gym like once, since it was clean it was my go to. I wasn't excited about wearing it because last time I did it was more snug that I would have liked, not comfortable... But today I owned that tee shirt, it actually was comfortably loose. Yay! feels good to wear a shirt I got in young woman's camp back in 2004 and have it fit! That's coco loco!

Training today was good, having taken it a bit easier yesterday my jelly legs from Monday had finally calmed down. I think that's the first time I really believed the burnt tootsie roll helped me out. Did stretching with it yesterday night and ta da! Mobile Elyse is born.... again... or something like that... (awkwardly laughs and shuffles away.)
Today was a unique training session though because Kendra had an intern she was training. She was nice and followed us to the workout mats... Kendra then told her that she would be leading the training session. Okay... (I put on a smiling face) Being watched as I work out by two people - Only felt mordified really awkward for the first little while. She was nice and so it was okay in the end.
Saw that same intern girl later moonlighting another trainer, (I feel bad, can't remember her name...) this happens to be the same guy who I had once witnessed was kinda meanly pushing his client a few weeks back. I found myself hoping she takes more from Kendra than she does from that mean trainer guy. Boo Meanie, Boo YOU!
Tomorrow is Friday! YeahBaby, I can do this.
