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 my mother to the ER, because she came down with Pneumonia while visiting me – oh the holidays! I never thought I’d say this but thank God for my workouts. I think my workouts where my only moments of sanity that whole week.
Now begins a new week, and a new trainer – Emilee Jones. I have to admit I was scared at first. I have taken her X-bike and Cardio Quickie classes, and they are no joke – she is all business. You are there to do work and she gets fired up and loud during her classes…but to train with her is a totally new experience. You can tell she loves what she does, she wants to truly help you reach your goals and she gets the most she can out of you during a workout. It amazed me that with minimal weights, I was still getting an awesome (hard) workout. Emilee had me on the ground with my knees bent and feet up against the wall, she placed a ball between my legs and had me squeeze (think Suzanne Summer Thigh Master!) for what seemed like 100 times. All I can say is my inner thighs are still soar 4 days later. It does feel good to be back into my regular routine…it’s surprising how much a holiday disrupts your workouts, and your motivation.
Emilee & I talked a bit about nutrition because it’s a struggle with me EVERYDAY! With having all those people in my house it was a challenge to eat well. We decided to meet next week to talk about it in more depth. I train again with her this week - I hope I survive.
Back to Work
