Day 1 and 2 combo..cause i'm tired and sore

I really want to try to keep this blog current but this week is kicking my butt. I have tons goin on with the kids but then add in starting a new routine @ the gym and cutting all refined sugar, dairy, basically anything white or any processed food...and I am so beat. But I'm gonna recap until I get tired of typing. For realz.

So yesterday was my first session with my personal trainer. I was crazy nervous and realized that gym mirrors arent so much fun because you are supposed to use them. Its weird for me getting used to "having" to look at myself in a mirror and having someone else watch my every move in that mirror. I'm a mirror fan just only when I'm by myself. :) But regardless of that my PT is a really sweet guy (and he's young and cute). So I really like him. Ok..on to what the first session was like. He obviously likes squats-which i detest because they hurt so incredibly bad. He had me do some things on the stability ball that were new (and some involved squats..lol!) The worst thing that I felt like I was crazy shaking but finishing the sets was this thing..i"ll have to describe it. Ok..20 lb barbell (i have never held a barbell-only hand weights) behind my head-like right behind it, with my elbows close to my face, raising the barbell up over my head. OMG! 4 sets of 15..not all at the same time...but it was like i think my muscles are ripping apart. So even our "time" is up he put me on the treadmill-incline 3-3.9 (i was like why not 4-crap!) to walk. I can totally do that-but I never use the incline. I was way more tired than after doing the elliptical for 30 min-which is weird. So I was hurtin a little yesterday but still able to do things.

This morning I was crazy sore and day two of eating nothing processed just meat veggies and fruit and most importantly NO SWEET TEA was keepin me down. I didnt want to go to the gym today. I had to squeeze it in at a different time than normal because of a crazy busy day....wasnt feelin it. But after I got on the elliptical My muscles in my legs that are throbbing from squats felt much better. I could have been more aggressive on there with the HITT training but I did it the best I could and burned more than my normal elliptical cardio-so all good. I have much more to say but I gotta sleep. Training is tomorrow and I really need to rest my tired self. But I do feel that the "sugar funk" will be better tomorrow. Staying positive. So summarizing...personal trainer session-harder than expected yet I thought it wasnt gonna hurt anywhere near this time frame it while during the session. So I'm a believer. Think its a good choice. :)
