Because of my work schedule the past week or so, I had to miss a training session. To make up for it, I saw my trainer yesterday and today. Yesterday, we worked upper body, and today was lower body. The end of the session and he says "Time for abs!" I sat on the ball, a 10 lb weight on my chest, and he says "OK, sit-ups for five minutes straight through." Well, you can imagine the face I made at him.... but I'm a trooper and get started; while I'm huffing and puffing my way through sit-up after sit-up he chats on about how this is good for me, doing good, keep going, 3 more minutes ... yep, gonna have a six pack soon...." And without thinking, out slips "Yessss.... Bud Lite Lime" And Daemeon busts out laughing. And I keep going "..... ice cold on a hot summer day ...." as I'm still doing the dreaded sit-ups. Of course, it's harder to maintain a rhythm because I'm giggling like crazy - and dreaming of an ice cold beer!
But progress in spite of the crazy hours and bad eating habits I kept for the past week - down 1.4 lbs. I'll take that! My trainer and I talked about my ultimate goal - he agrees that women need to be soft and curvy, so as of today, I have 49 more pounds to my ultimate goal. At two lbs a week, 25 more weeks. That's a very tough goal to reach in that time frame. But ... you have to have a goal to reach for! I am using SparkPeople as my calorie counter and reference for tracking my workouts. It's not 100% perfect, but it helps me maintain my track record.
By the way, I didn't rush home and sip an ice cold beer .... just a bottle of Perrier!
