I survived my first day with the personal trainer…

Mostly cause all we did was put our schedule together and talk a little!  Oh yeah, and take care of the business end of it.  Wednesday will be my first REAL start day!

I told my  trainer what I’d been doing and she said, “All that is going to change, I am going to completely redo your whole cardio routine.” 

WHAT?   You mean you are going to make me do stuff I don’t want to?  But I really like the treadmill. 

Yep…that is why your scale stopped moving.   You gotta trust me. 

Oh no!  I have never been good at trusting anyone!   Kindov an independent thinking type…oh my…better start praying more now.   Does anyone know that song…The Potter’s Hand…thinking of this part:

Make me, mold me, use me, fill me
I give myself to the Potter’s Hand
Mold me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter’s hand

After we were done…I went ahead and worked out anyway Today was my interval day, and drumroll please….

I ran 7.6 mph…still only for a short time…but I did it!  And it wasn’t as hard as I thought it might be!  Woop Woop!!!!  What I do is I start at 3 then got to 4.5 then back to 3.6, then up to 5.6 then down to 4….well you get the idea…and I just keep intensifying the workout…until I am really going at it!   I can honestly say I was running!!!  Wow!

…and then it was off to the the stair machine…for 15 mins…I did 28 flights.  I know that is not that great…but I am just starting on it…

I AM feeling better, especially after the work out.  Still cramping and my head is hurting…but I will survive!

I am making an appointment with Mohammed to get my hair even lighter…this time hubby is coming along. 

Yikes…big changes!  Ok…blessings and for today, embrace change, it is good!
