Week One -- Day Two

So today will be a rest day. Start out slow people. I am only to have one carb meal today which I am ingesting now. Two whole wheat pieces of toast with PB.

I actually feel good today. I remember working out other times and barely being able to walk the next day but I feel good. I am sore but not hardcore sore and I can actually sit on the toilet without having to use my arms to get myself up. This is GOOD! Nothing quite like feeling stuck on the toilet :)

Last night I could have died. I didn't know if I would make it out of Tyler's house and across our front lawns to get home my legs were so jiggly. But, I DID. and I am sure Friday will be just as hard of not harder. But I can do this. It will be so worth it in the end! Did I say bring it? Only thing that worries me about Friday is that I am alone with the girls. Recover time like I had last night will be next to impossible. Perhaps he will take it easy on me? Ya right!

Tomorrow I will hit the treadmill. Well, I probably won't "hit" it, I might run on it instead! :)

Week One -- Day One

So here is the plan. I will train with Tyler twice a week for a 45 min session and do two cardio workouts (on my treadmill) twice a week on my own for 12 weeks. I am following a strict diet (high protein and low carbs) all the while and blogging and journaling for accountability. My goal, to lose 40 lbs and tone this flabby body! It's on baby! It's on! And after work out one I am feeling almost dead. I wasn't certain I would have the energy to type these keys in front of me. No tears yet, but I know they are coming! I am also pretty certain I will have a hard time walking tomorrow morning. Right now... I am feeling okay. Still positive. It will get easier, I know it. I CAN do this and I WILL. Bring it baby! Bring it!

If I am gonna post them {cause it certainly isn't easy}, they might as well be big. Go big or go home they say. So, I am going big :)

So Here it Begins!

Blog post #1. Here I find myself starting yet another blog. This time it is so I have some accountability for what is ahead (especially the next 12 weeks) and to also remind myself that this weight loss journey I am heading into is going to be painful and I just might need your support! I will use this spot to post progress pictures, whine, and journal about what I am eating and how I am pushing myself daily to reach my goal of becoming 40 pounds lighter and having a some what toned body. Stay tuned. My second post will follow tonight after my first training session with my next door neighbour Tyler, who is likely gonna kick my ass so hard and make me cry. Doesn't this sound exciting? Seriously I am super excited and also terribly terrified!
