Well, as of this morning, I'm holding steady on the scale. After a lazy and somewhat free-for-all with food weekend, I'll take the zero loss...cuz its also a zero gain.
This is the week I attend 3 bootcamp classes. Based on the times, its going to be a little hard. I think I'm going to work out by myself tonight to take the place of one of them. Then I'll hit the noon bootcamp on Wed and the 5pm bootcamp on Friday. This should be interesting! They are allowing our students in the bootcamp (I work at a college) and I'm a little weirded out by the thought of sweating my butt off next to someone I was chasing down for payment the week before :) Yikes.
On a totally off-topic note, there is some strange noise going on in my neighborhood and it's been there for several days now. I first noticed it when I tried to sleep out in my livingroom on Friday night. The sound reminds me of the Wheel of Fortune wheel turning :) But, it goes faster and then slows down, then speeds up, etc...but never stops. It is very faint, but just loud enough to keep me from falling asleep. So, I went to my room to sleep and could not hear it from there. The next morning, I noticed it was still there. And again on Sunday. And yes, this morning as well. Here is the interesting part. As I was walking to the bus this morning, there were moments when all was quiet on the street and I could hear the noise! It must be some kind of machinery or something. I hope it stops soon because if I have to hear that forever, I'm going to go crazy!
That's all for now!

A Butt Whoopin'...as usual!
Yesterday was my session with the trainer...OMG. Miraculously, I actually woke up early so I managed to be alert and semi-alive by the time I got to the trainer. I haven't worked out with her in quite some time, but I knew what was coming! We usually do three circuits of various exercises that vary each time I work with her.
We started off with what one of her clients dubbed "Wickeds"...if that gives you any idea of what was to come! They were squats you do with one leg raised behind you and resting on a bench. I don't know how many I did on each leg, I'm pretty sure she doesn't count. I think she just watches your face as you begin to look like you may pass out and then she says, "Three more!" After that we moved to balancing in a puch up position with my legs up on the big exercise ball. Pretty easy the first time, but by the 3rd circuit I could barely balance myself!
Next it was over to the big pulley machine where you can do just about any arm exercise your mind can think up. I did forward chest presses while lunging on alternating legs with each one. Again, fairly easy until that last circuit. Finally it was down to the mat to do flutters for as long as I could stand it and then a set of full sit ups.
Wow, writing it down, it doesn't sound like much, but boy did it kill me. And I am sore like nobody's business today! I'd like to get a run in today since we are finally having cool weather. I'm considering actually going out to my good ol' lake front path...hoping it won't bring about bad memories and will give me a little push instead!
I have finally updated my ticker. After being in denial about my slight gain (and refusing to post that sucker!) I'm moving it to where it should be so that I can be honest with myself. Yikes!
Happy Friday!
