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 [...]

Week #2

I never thought I would get excited about getting up at 5am for hardcore workout. But I was pretty psyched to meet with Kate for my 2nd week of training. It’s great learning new ways to challenge my body…and I mean really challenge. Yesterday she had me doing things I didn’t think I could do. [...]

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 [...]
