This hurts more than I thought it would!

Well, more than I remember it hurting when I started at the gym last time. I am talking about my legs and buns!!

I have been working out fairly regularly for the past 4-5 weeks and have been rewarded with a weight loss of 25 lbs and reduction of a pants size by one (and now, those are even loose on me).

So, yesterday, I signed up with a personal trainer just to show me what a WUSS I AM! He said I did a great job; better than many clients who have lower weight/fat content, etc. but I don't know if he is blowing smoke up my gluts. Anywhoo, I was fine this morning, getting a bit of a tingle by noonish, but now, each step up the stairs SCREAMS! I feel pretty good in that I did do everything he asked of me and even pushed some a bit. Push to muscle failure? Oh YES. Those babies were shakin' and a bit wobbly when I got up to walk each time.

My next appointment is tomorrow at noon. I think we do abs and back. Trainer said that I will continue to be sore like this for the next month and a half, if we continue at the rate I want. Then, when it doesn't hurt anymore, we have to change the routine so that it hurts again! Ahhhh, but then you know it is working.

I am actually at a lower weight now than I have been for 15 years. Better late than never, I guess.

Since I don't do arms/shoulders until about next Thursday, I am going to head up, watch psuedo-figure skating on "Blades of Glory" with J and lift 10 lb hand weights. Just using hand weights has really built up my shoulders, triceps and biceps. Then, I am going to blissfully konk out!
