Could NOT sleep…but still got up at 7am to train with trainer(go me:)…we had a talk too

Well, I couldn’t sleep last night…but this morning I crawled out of bed ANYWAY, took a quick shower…then went to the gym…

We started 5 mins late…she has to check me in when I get there.  So I asked her, are we going to make up the time we miss?…and she said yes.  So I asked her about the 10 mins the other day, and she said, oh yeah…we will make it up no prob.  So we did today. 

I am learning that I need to get there about 10mins early to warm up and get checked in so we can start right on time.  Then plan for 45 mins after for my cardio.

My hiney still hurts…and thankful that today she worked my arms and lower back.  Not feeling it yet…but have a feeling tomorrow I will.

I didn’t get to do cardio this morning because we finished at 8:15 and I had to be at work by 9:15…so maybe this afternoon…AFTER a nap.   Supposed to go back to the ministry meeting tonight…a lady is going to be there that is related to an Evangelist named Maria Woodworth-Etter who started preaching in the 1800’s.   She preached, as a woman, at a time when women couldn’t even vote. 

There is a book that tells all about her life (my first spiritual mom gave it to me) and God used it powerfully in my life so I am interested to go and hear what this relative has to say tonight…maybe God has something just for me.

My food was better yesterday…but we did have to stop and get fast food on the way to the meeting.  Asked for mustard for my grilled chicken sandwich…and they gave me a greasy honey mustard too…still need to look up the calories on it.   I also got fries, since I knew I’d be there for a long time…not the best choice…but it has been a while.

Well…hope you have a healthy day full of good choices, sweat and fufilling time with families and friends!

    I am so proud of you for playing through the sleep-deprived pain…it is rough to get up and volunteer to be tortured when you know you are not a morning person AND you have little sleep…

    That is great and you will reap the rewards…I am anxious to hear what happens tonight when you listen to that speaker…keep us updated!!

    yeahhh you made it to the gym! Good job lady! I was so darn sore and tired this morning, I skipped the workout & went grocery shopping instead. ;)

    Ya, for you! I know how you felt though, i was so tired this morning.I woke up at 8:15 and had to be at the gym by 9 for kickboxing. I did eat a peach before I went, simple sugar, and I had a gatoraid with me.
    Hope you enjoy tonight. Can’t wait to hear about it.

    Well…plans were to take a nap and hubby would go on ahead call me to wake me up before the meeting…seems I slept through the calls:( Just got up…so guess I am not going to go after all. Maybe the Lord just wanted me to sleep:)

    Wish I could go to the gym…but it closes at 10 tonight. Oh well…now I can catch up on some reading…
    hope everyone has a great night!

    Hey Chrisie!!! I’m so happy your going to the gym so often. I bet you are feeling like a million bucks right now!!!

    I’m so proud of you the way you just “plunge ahead” even through the obstacles we all are faced with. You ROCK!!!

    Don’t fret over the fries…I cheated yesterday too, had fried fish, baked potatoe and salad. The worst was the fish :( but darn it was good!!
    Gotta splurge a little once in a while.
    Have a great Labor Day Weekend!!!
    Hugs, Jane
