Four Pounds

Wednesday, July 11, 2012

Today was my 2nd Face 2 Face appointment at the gym. Last week I was just weighed and measured, which was NOT fun. Especially when I had to argue with the girl about whether the bathroom scale they were using went high enough for me. Completely embarrassing.


This time we did the weight machines. I already have a card and know how to use the machines, so I didn't really learn anything. That's ok though because I'm really just using this program to create a good routine and be held accountable while I get into my groove.

After, I did just a few minutes of cardio because of time constraints and then I tried out the spa area. I've used the hot tub there before but never the sauna or steam room. After five minutes in area, I felt AMAZING! Now I've kind of wondering, "Why didn't I do that before!?"

I've been home for about 30 minutes and am still feeling the high that comes after a good workout. These are the type of thoughts I need to remind myself when I don't feel like working out. Regardless of needing to lose weight, I need to do this for myself. I need to do more things that feel good to me.

So far, I'm down the 7 lbs, but I keep fluctuating up four pounds and then back down again. I know this is normal. It usually frustrates me and I end up giving up, but this time I'm accepting it for what it is...normal.

Next week is my cardio appointment. I'm not sure what to expect from that since I already know how to use the machines. We'll see!
