CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!?!?

Well, it is the day after my first workout with Carl! OUCH!!! And you know what sucks? IT ALWAYS HURTS WORSE ON THE SECOND DAY! LOL!!!

I have to totally laugh though because when it came to my upper body strength, I truly thought I was pretty ok. HAHAHAHA!!! That was until Carl decided we needed to do upper body training on Sat that I was suddenly and most rudely was brought out of my wonderful cloud of ignorance as to what my strength IS NOT! He kicked my butt! I AM CRYING A LOT RIGHT NOW!!! I am sure you are all laughing and that is totally fine because I do realize that this pain is going to help me to shape my body into something sexy! AND YES, I WANT TO BE SEXY!!! LOL!!

It was a really amazing week overall though. Other then today, I have made a real effort (and succeeded) at making sure I exercised 6 days out of 7. So understand that not everyone has to do that, but I am really serious about wanting to lose weight and look good for this upcoming summer season when my girlfriends and I are able to take our husbands to Vegas and have a well deserved trip.

It is overall really nice to have this ache back in my muscles because I know that in the end it means that I will be stronger and healthier AND WILL BE ABLE TO HIKE UP AND DOWN THE MOUNTAIN ON THE ELK HUNT WITHOUT DYING!!!

I am supposed to meet with Carl again tomorrow and I am a bit apprehensive because I worked out so hard this last time that I was literally sick to my stomach last night. BUT it definitely made me not want to eat dessert after dinner last night because I knew I would have to do extra work to take those pounds off.

Oh, don't worry, I caved today and ate two desserts to make up for yesterday! BUT, at least I have been off the diet coke for almost a week now. That is amazing and probably another BIG reason why I am getting sick! LOL!!! My poor body is just trying to flush all of this crap out of its system!

This week I lost 4 lbs. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?!?!? I am so excited but so nervous about whether or not I will be able to keep it up (the losing weight part!) I will never miss an appt with Carl and I will see him at least 3 times per week because this is how my level of commitment goes!

I KNOW WE ALL CAN DO IT TOGETHER!!!
