Sunday morning we headed to the gym - I was informed on the way there that John is taking over the role of Personal Trainer for the next 5 months before Hawaii.
Now, I don't have a problem with this. John and I have always been in complete agreement to not veer too far from the person we married 13.5 years ago. But lately I have been on the bubble...LoL
And I don't feel good, and he knows that.
So he took matters into his own hands if you will - I needed a push.
But I did not need a push down a flight of stairs....(not literally of course)
He said (and I quote) "I don't want a skinny chic, we're bringing your muscle back" - Now, some wives would take offense to this, I again have no problem with it. :) He knows I love weights.
Now, I knew I was out of shape....I did not realize HOW badly out of shape my lower body is. Today is the first day I can actually walk and not wince at the pain. Last night I had to skip Carmen's class and walk on the treadmill for 70 minutes just to get the blood flowing to the muscles and hurry the repair process along.
And the weight I did last Sunday was nothing in comparison to what I used to do...I squatted 65 - I used to squat 90 with no problem, I leg pressed 90 - I used to press 200 - Pathetic!
I am so disappointed in myself for letting myself be distracted for the past couple years. Granted I have only put on about 10 pounds, but losing all that muscle makes it worse. And as I get older it's harder to take it off. My body takes on weight differently and there is this weird "texture" thing happening that isn't very pretty. LoL
So here I come Hawaii ~ Thank you in advance to all my peeps to support me in the next few months as I take on this challenge. I am excited and I am thrilled to have my hubby's help.
I do have some clothes that are on my "I want to be able to wear this" list...Maybe I should hang them on my wall and smile at them as I eat a Yoplait yogurt? Seems to work on TV? LoL
