Revelation of the week: Be careful because although I am seeing progress, I have take care not to feel overconfident.
Monday: I woke up so sick and dragged myself to work. I couldn’t wait to finish up and go home. I felt like my body was a rock, dead to the world and on cold medicine. Ugh. My husband and I are supposed to meet his family for dinner, though, so I muster up just enough strength to do that.
Tuesday: I woke up feeling even worse but somehow thought it was a good idea to keep my appointment with Rich at 7:15. When I got there he took one look at me and called it off. I walked on the treadmill for 20 min and then sat in the steam room. I had a busy day and thought working out would somehow give me the energy I needed to get through it all. It helped a bit plus I was proud of myself for the attempt. I went to a shoot and then John and I had to rush from there to meet up with a photo rep agency for an“interview. We went for dinner at Spring Street Natural to treat ourselves. The food is so good—and guilt-free because it’s healthy.
Wednesday: I met with Rich for another go at our workout. I felt better and managed OK. This was a new workout and I like change. It keeps me from getting bored.
Thursday: I took the day off from working out so I could try to get my strength back. I slept in, went to work, stopped by some gallery openings on my way home, and fell into bed once I got there.
Friday: Rich and I met this morning at 7:00. My neighborhood is kind of scary that early. The sun was just coming up and the Boarshead shipping trucks were idling along the street with the drivers taking cat naps in the cabs. We had a good workout session. I look forward to hearing his jokes and stories. He makes me laugh. He explained to me the overall workout plan, which goes something like this: The first workout was all about building my cardio, and now we are on to strength. We’ll continue like that for the next several weeks to eventually combine both. I am going to be so fit. I can’t wait. I met with Sharon for my weigh in and we discuss tips on good snack foods. Looks like I lost another pound. Exciting!
Saturday: Today I woke up early but not with much energy. I am still fighting my cold so I stayed in and organized a bit.
Sunday: The weather was nice so I went to the track and ran a warmup before softball practice. My husband and I are now in a league with a bunch of friends. We practiced for three hours. It was so much fun and I really tried to be as active as possible, thinking that this is also a good workout. I hope!
