Today I have my weekly personal training session after work as I do every Wednesday. Last week we did the calliper test - today are more photos. Blake has told me these early pictures will eventually end up being my favourite pictures. As this past weekend was Thanksgiving, I was able to go to bootcamp and spin class on Monday evening (dojo was closed). Yesterday was spin and bootcamp again, and another hour of karate. I am drinking a minimum of 3 Litres of water, and I am sure I am leaving it all on the floor if not more in all of these classes. This brings me to how I am feeling today ~ just a little tired. Not drag my ass tired; but feeling like I could use some more sleep. My legs (quads) are tight as well. Note to self; need to remember to stretch.
I actually am curious to see the difference between last months photos and these ones that we will take today only because in the last couple days I have now had customers, different people who do not know the amount that I am training, comment on my weight. This is a good thing - I think. It is usually followed up by, *You weren't fat before...* or *You looked good before...*, I haven't taken offence to this but it does make one think, *What did people think before*. As women, I truly wonder if we are ever happy with ourselves or happy with what we see in the mirror. There is always something that we would like to change or want differently on our bodies.
The human body can be an amazing machine and it really is fascinating how it actually works. We hear alot of times, your mind will give up long before your body will. Interesting concept - brings a whole new meaning to positive thinking and focusing on what we want our bodies to look like and what we are willing to do to get to that point, minus any cosmetic surgery, just plain hard work.
I also have customers who are personal trainers and fitness competitors. Everyone has advice and their opinion on how things should be done, from eating, to training, to what your mind set will be and what changes will happen, emotionally and physically. I have a fairly open mind, so I am like a sponge - I can listen, hear what they have to say, and I value people's opinions' - and with hearing the advice that people like to share - I can digest it, share it with my trainer and come up with a plan that is unique to my situation. I know its' still early in the process ~ I may feel differently as time goes on....
Until then ~ Onward & Upward....I may just post those pictures sooner than I thought I would....
