So yesterday evening I was going over my diet plan while putting together my meals for today, and it occurred to me maybe I’m not eating enough on this plan. Then again I really don’t want to eat anymore! So I guess it’s enough.
I went to the gym and met with my personal trainer yesterday. We got all done, and he says how do you feel? No clever come back, I just said “Tired.” I was, and then I forced myself to go do the tread mill and did 30 minutes there again. By the time I got home I was exhausted. I think I like the mid point of the work out the best, where the muscles aren’t completely expended, but they are warmed up and working. At the end lately I just want to take a nap! I asked if I needed to jog, because I don’t think I can yet, and he told me I shouldn’t ever have to jog. I don’t know if 30 minutes walking every night is enough! Maybe my goals are all crazy or something…. I feel at some point I will have to run.
Funny, I keep feeling for muscles! I don’t know why, I know I shouldn’t really have any yet, I’ve only been to three training sessions. Though I have begun to work out on my own at home as well. I am trying to take things slow. I have a bad habit of going balls to the wall and then getting sore and quitting. I *want* to stick with this. I AM committed to this!
I found it interesting that when I noticed how much weight he was putting on the machines that I bothered to notice it was around 50lbs. Odd, I thought I would be weaker than that. I really haven’t worked my muscles consistently in eight years.
