First Workout!!

I was up bright and early at 4:00am to get ready for my first workout. This was the first time I woke up without a headache in five days! I got to the gym at 4:51am and no one was there. By the time 5:00am hit there was about 20 cars in the parking lot. Everyone was friendly and excited about the results that had achieved at SWEAT.

Mark was my trainer this morning. He was good to challenge me, but to respect that this is new for me and my body. Don't get me wrong I worked really hard and I did sweat a lot! I guess I had it worked up in my head as being something really awful, so when it wasn't, I was pleasantly surprised. The format is fast paced and you never know what is coming next.

After the workout I came home and went back to bed. I know you are supposed to feel energized after working out, but I am not quite there yet.... ;-)

The rest of my day was productive and I am slowly starting to feel my energy level coming back. I called Laura and let her know my need to just eat something. She said I could have some berries, so Dayna is at the store getting me some fresh strawberries!! (it is important to know that I am not starving, but my body just wants something to eat)

I have two more days then I get to have one meal a day. I have already put my order in for the SWEAT approved menu at Dash-n-Dine. They prepare healthy meals that you order and then just put into the oven. The prices are reasonable because each order has three servings. Check them out at www.dashndineonline.com ....it might be a nice alternative, especially those days when time is tight!!

I am looking forward to tomorrow...I want to have a full day of feeling great. I don't workout, but I will probably go for a nice long walk with Ellie (my daughter)!
