Another crazy week almost over. Sorry I haven't been around but right now I feel like I have to take every single little job that comes my way and if my blog has to suffer, so be it.
I haven't been to the gym in 3 days and have lost 3 pounds. Now I'm not using this as an excuse not to go to the gym but really?? :)
In the midst of all the crazy, some good things have been happening. I have an offer from my friends personal trainer in Florida to virtually train me in trade for helping her with some press releases. She's a martial arts master and an Olympic Athlete among other things. She wants a week's food and activity log and then she'll set me up on a plan. I love the coach I have at the Y but he's way too busy to give me the personal attention I need at the moment. The new trainer is saying absolutely no weights in the beginning. All cardio. I know that there's so much disagreement out there about whether to lift or not but I'm going to see if this works for a while. She wants me to start the journal for her on a Monday so hopefully by the following week, I'll have her analysis. In the meantime, I'm getting my ass back to the gym I swear. I need to stay off the Lexapro.
The best news of all? I have a lunch date with Tammy on Sunday. This is the first time ever meeting a blog friend in person. She's done so well and has been such a huge support to me. I'm so excited! We will make sure to take a picture!
Anyway, back to the grind. Time for some lunch, a walk, and more work!
I was wondering where you were but then I saw the logo on Shelley's page so I figured busy working. Oh I'm so excited that you got the personal trainer offer! How great is that?!!
ReplyDeleteYAY for the three pounds! :) & that's great that you are gonna get to work with a personal trainer with a personal PLAN!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 3 lbs down! You're doing something right! Sounds great to have the trainer and do a barter for services. I wish I had a service with which to barter! Maybe free shots to anyone who wants in return for ________________ something.
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you and Tammy having lunch, and can't wait for pictures and details! Have a great time.
I find there's a catch-up effect that working out has with me and the scale. What I do today sometimes seems to show a week or so down the road. It can play fits with your psyche...
ReplyDeleteGlad that you're keeping busy tho!
How very cool to be meeting another blogger. I am hoping to do that some day. :0 Congrats on the loss!! I love the virtual trainer idea. I think that's a great trade off. I'll be anxious to see how it works for you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the three pounds - our bodies are so freakin' weird, I swear! But seriously, that's great!
ReplyDeleteGlad work and not ::couch:: blog people are keeping you busy... :)
The trainer sounds great! Can't wait to hear how that goes.
Thanks again for doing the cool graphic for me - it's gotten a lot of good response!
Congrats on the 3lbs loss! WooHoo! Hope you have fun with your new trainer!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! And doncha just love bartering for services? Hope you really enjoy your virtual trainer. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the weight loss!! So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteYay! 3 lbs is great. And what a great opportunity to try out. And lunch with a blog friend... it is a good day!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 3 pound loss! That's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to compliment you on the March 7 run logo you designed. It looks great!
Congratulations on the 3 pound loss! I knew your body would "catch up" with all the work you were doing.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make a plug for at least SOME strength training - you don't want to lose any of the muscle mass you already have, since it fuels your metabolism!!
That being said, how cool about the trainer! :)
Three pounds is an awesome loss, well done!
ReplyDeleteYea for 3 lbs! And what a great trade swap you got!
ReplyDeleteOh I love that graphic you did on Shelley's blog!! Very cool. :) Looking forward to Sunday!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have something for you on my blog!
ReplyDeleteHI! I just found your blog from Heather's post. Congrats on the award!
ReplyDeleteBartering is a wonderful thing. Working on fitness and nutrition and life balance can get really costly. What a great set up. I will be curious to hear what virtual training is like!
Cheers,

Thanks for your comment about my girl. I think she's adorable too!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your next post. (And also looking forward to some sleep, but insomnia is not helping. Ugh.) G'night!
How exciting to meet up with a fellow blogger! Sounds like you both had fun!
ReplyDeleteThree pounds is great! And the trainer opportunity is awesome as well. Very cool :)
ReplyDeleteJust checking on you girl...hope you're having a great week! I, for one, was ready to shoot the nutritionist between the eyes tonight. :)
