Lifestyle change

   Five weeks into my new "lifestyle" (no, I didn't go straight) and I'm feeling good. No ... GREAT ! I no longer huff and puff as David puts me through my dog and pony show. Well, I might huff but no more puffing. Today was the first day after a workout I could get in and out of the car without moaning and groaning and holding on to the door ! Go me !

Shallow party of one ...

How shallow am I ? Ok I'll bite ... how shallow ARE you? ME:OMG I've been working out for 1 month and have not lost one pound!



FRIEND:But how do you feel?


ME: GREAT ! Lots more energy, more positive tude.


FRIEND:So what's the problem????


ME:This is LA dude (yes I said dude) ... I don't want to FEEL better I want to LOOK better !

I am the puppy, goo goo ka choo ...

   I noticed that I follow David (Frenchie trainer) around like a puppy begging for attention. He moves to the left, I move to the left. He steps back, I move behind and step back. I guess that's a good thing otherwise I'd be standing in the middle of the gym looking a bit foolish. 

I've noticed that with every session I feel better and better about myself. I've only seen David 5 times but the mental transformation is amazing. I think the physical will take a little longer but for someone who thrives on instant gratification ... I'm a happy puppy. 

Two weeks and counting

   Its been two weeks since my first workout and I'm still sore. Well kind of. I finally got movement back to my legs. I can actually walk up stairs without holding on to the railing. My arms are slowing coming back to life. But the silver lining in all of this ... I FEEL GREAT ! My mood has improved I don't pant as I go up stairs. All in all things are only getting better.
