I posted earlier this morning that I have finally reached Onederland, I was so happy to see that. I can't even remember the last time I was less than 200 pounds.I had a long stretch where I was not loosing anything, I was working out with a trainer, and when I stopped working out with him (long story) I had a jolt in my losses. I have not stopped working out, I now workout on my own for cardio and with my husband for strength training.
I was going to a physical therapist for a while because of a issue I was having with severe back and leg pain (which is fine now) and I asked him why I started to loose faster when I stopped working out with the trainer. He explained that the trainer was probably doing routines that are geared towards bulking up, not toning up... odd... the trainer ended up being a big jerk (again long story), so it is not a bad thing that I no longer work out with him. The workouts were good, and I know I worked out hard, but I was not looking to be a body builder and that is all he seems to know... He was also very full of himself and for someone who use to have very bad self esteem issues it was not a right fit. About a week after I stopped working out with the trainer I went down a pants size.
I will go back and tell the trainer story another time...
I have to say I was not sure how working out with Reg (husband) was going to go, but it works out nicely. I thought that he was going to be mean to me, or push me to do things, but he doesn't. Granted some of the exercises that he asks me to do I HATE!!! bit it is because they are hard to do not that I can't do them... The only problem that I have is when I don't want to get up and go to the gym, we go in the early morning... he is easy to convince to say in bed at home... I need him to kick my ass the mornings I try and get one over on him to stay in bed.
All in all I am doing great. I am having some heartburn issues, if they don't clear up I will have to make an appointment to see Dr. Murr. I will see how that goes, I am sure the amount of Starbucks I drink doesn't help... Let me go back and say I only have one Starbucks a day if that... it is mostly on work days, but still I am sure it is not helping my acid issues.
The only other issue that I am having is that it is finally getting warm here and I only have 2 pairs of shorts and two skirts to wear right now... this is the love/hate part of this journey... I love needing to get new clothes, I just hate spending money on them... I am going to see what I can find at the outlets, and I only will get a few things as you never know how long you will last in one size or another...
Well I guess I will go for now... more soon!
