Starting my 7th week of LIFE

Each day I work out it amazes me, I can not believe that I am working out willingly (is that a word) any ways...I LOVE TO WORK OUT!! Last week Ryan (my trainer) told me to take a day off, that I was over working out (up until he said this I would never have thought this was a possibility). He explained to me that I had been working out for 6 weeks and my body was telling me I needed a rest. Yes I argued with him, I told him I wouldn't lose any weight if I didn't work out, that he was crazy!! He told me to listen to him, after all he is the professional that went through hours of training, classes, etc. I went back to work, got up walked around (since I have a sitting job I try to do this through out my day). When 5:00 came around I was still working, after all I had no where to go but home. At around 5:30 I sent Ryan a text....pleaded with him...asking what am I supposed to do with myself, after all I have let working out become part of my life, part of me. He sent me a text back telling me to go home relax, watch TV. I sent a text back to him oh "revert to the old me", the last thing I wanted to do was end up as a part of my couch, that is how I got to be this weight. My logic was still telling me to lose weight you needed to work out as often (which was on 3-4 days a week twice daily) and as much as I wanted to....how would I lose weight if I didn't work out. I went home, sat on the couch, watched Biggest Loser (my inspiration is Sione and Kristin) and relaxed. The next morning I met my sister Marti at the gym at 6:30 in the morning (hey at least I didn't work out the day before). I also worked out that evening with my son, I felt like I needed to catch up. On Friday I went to work out in the morning again and to train with Ryan. I did the treadmill for 30 minutes and went to do my training. I told Ryan about my back and he cancelled on me and told me to go home and relax and we would meet up on Saturday morning. UGH!! I was not going to lose weight this week, not working out was killing me. Ryan just told me to have faith and go home, so I did. I worked out with Ryan Saturday morning, we went to the scale to weigh in, I complained the way over to telling him how I know I didn't lose any weight, and surprise surprise I had lost 4lbs...yes I was amazed! All Ryan could do was gloat...he said "now do you trust me, see I know what I am talking about, yada yada yada!" So moral of this BLOG is if you are working with a trainer, listen to what they say, take it easy if they tell you to. If you are working out on your own, listen to your body, if you are feeling tired or have small aches take a day off. HAPPY WORKING OUT!! ONCE YOU START YOU WON'T STOP!! Do it no matter your size, it is a great addiction to have!
