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 [...]
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 [...]
One Month & Two Weeks Ago
6 weeks ago I was laying on the floor during my first workout (what seemed like every 5 minutes) because my heart rate was going through the roof. 6 weeks ago I tried my first X Bike class with Emillee and thought I was going to die! 5 weeks ago my orthopedic surgeon told me [...]
