Weakness ensues

This week I haven't done well. I have been too lazy to go to the gym. Yes I can say that I am adjusting to a new schedule, working evenings instead of days, and that I'm giving myself time recover from the school year, but you and I both know those are excuses. I was lazy. Today I paid the price.

Today I met with my trainer for the first time in over a week. She went to a national track and field competition where she placed eighth in her event. I would include a link, but I can't find it :-( So as a result for a week I had no one to answer to. End of las
t week I did ok, made it to the gym with Becky. Even did most of a zumba class on Sunday until I got sick. Since then though I have done nothing.

Today I went in to meet Bo'B my trainer (her name is Becky, but to differentiate from a certain someone I know who is getting married next year, I will call my trainer Bo'B which are her initials anyway), I think it was the hardest session I have had yet, and not just because she changes up the exercises every time, but because I hadn't been moving and I think my muscles were getting weaker again.

When I arrived at the gym Bo'B and I  chatted for a bit. I told her that I wasn't feeling good about my progress this week. I always do better when there is someone who expects something of me, and with her being away it felt like I didn't have anyone to answer to, so I slacked off. I then did something that I have never in my life done, I asked for homework. I asked for one or two exercises that I can do at home or at the gym, that will continue to build my muscle and strengthen my weak body. Exercises that I can do even when I am too lazy to leave my house.  She is so great that she agreed to help and will be 'checking in' on my homework. I really lucked out when I chose her to be my trainer.

Today's session was really hard after not moving much the last few days. I was dripping with sweat (which I detest), but I did it. Bo'B even mentioned that she thought my range of motion was getting better. I am taking this as a win since I didn't want to go today and I had to force myself to leave the book I'm reading (by Tony Danza about his year teaching English). As always I feel better about myself because I did it.

I plan on hitting the gym tomorrow morning before work. I have a couple day passes, anyone want to come with me?
