Setback

Last Week I had a weigh in – some disappointing news.  I didn’t even lose an entire pound…and I actually gained .75 of an inch around my waste.  It’s very discouraging when you feel like you are working hard, and you get no results.  During my next workout Emilee said I needed to start writing down [...]

Nutition: The Awakening

I feel like something clicked inside my head .  I sat with Emilee for an hour, going over my food log and really trying to find where my problem is.  I have come to really enjoy working out, so the challenges of actual exercise was not the obstacle…it is definitely food! According to my discussion with [...]

24

The girl is in love with the number 24…and on top of that she is an excellent counter! If there are two words to describe Emilee Jones from a trainee perspective it would be…24 and LUNGES.  We do every exercise 24 times, and if it’s not an ab exercise, it is some exercise with lunges incorporated [...]

Back to Work

I am now back from the Thanksgiving Holiday chaos fest…but I’m happy to report I managed to get in 3 workouts that week.  Which is pretty good considering I had my mother, father, sister, nephew, niece, brother -in-law, and Mother-in-law all staying at my house Saturday  to Saturday.  I also cooked Thanksgiving dinner, and took [...]

Training Outside

I trained with Charlie last Friday and he totally surprised me, he said…”grab your water and a towel, we are going outside!”  I have to admit I was a little hesitant, I have never worked with a trainer outside before.  I was pleasantly surprise.  The workout was hard… he found one of the few hills [...]

I’m Back in The Game

I’m sorry I’ve been M.I.A…the last week and a half have been very stressful with work and a little disorganized.  Both of these  situations are familiar  to me, they usually become my downfall.  When work gets stressful and demanding I tend to make that my main focus, and it takes over…I let everything else take [...]

Two a Days

OK…so maybe with  the looming  weigh in next week, and the fact that my whole family & inlaws are coming in for Thanksgiving has given me an extra spark and pushed me to do 2 workouts a day.  I really wanted to push myself this week and see how far I could go.  Tuesday I [...]

A Little Frustrated

I want to be skinny already.  This lifestyle changing is hard work, and my results are coming – they are just moving at a slow pace.  I want my clothes to start falling off me.  I want to get into the 130’s already.  I feel like I’ve been floating in the 140’s for this past [...]

On My Own

Tuesday morning I was getting warmed up on the elliptical, waiting for my trainer, when a staff person let me know she had car trouble and would be here in 10minutes.  I had already been warming up for awhile, and for a minute I thought …oh well I’ll just stay on the elliptical until she [...]

A Breakthrough

I was right, Kate did kick my butt.  Just when I thought that Philip and Matt had me doing some crazy things – here comes Kate.  She had me in a push up position with my feet on these sliding pads, she walked to the other end of the area we were working at and [...]
