Okay, so as I posted last, I bought a gym membership. Can I say that, that was the best thing I have done all year?
Boy, what a reality check to be weighed, pinched, and all, by someone other than myself, friends or family. A STRANGER!
Fallon, she is my trainer, was worth in one visit, the cost of all 3!!!
I am comfortable with her, and do not feel the judgement that I even sometimes feel from friends.
I worked out with her today, and oh my hell!!!!!
I was doing some step things, and started getting dizzy. Yes, dizzy enough that I about passed out in the gym!
So, Fallon was off to get me a powerade, and it did help. Apparently, my blood sugar was QUITE LOW! I didn't eat long enough before my workout, and so I hadn't started digesting stuff. I would have never known that much. I guess I should have had the egg this morning , for some protein instead of the 1/2 cup of oatmeal, and fat free yoplait yogurt.
I am on a 1400 calorie a day diet, and you know what? I can still have CARBS!! Yes, CARBS!!
I have been having wheat bagels, wheat pasta ( not as yucky as I remember).
I got rid of the pop AGAIN, but am on crystal light and am loving it!
So, later today, Joe came home early, and we were off to the gym again.
Yes, I am really getting some awesome support from the hubby. He joined with me, FOR me, against his will, and it is sooooo nice having him with me. He has hopped on this lil diet part too, and didn't complain at dinner tonight.
If you are looking to get healthier, lose weight, etc. It is MUCH nicer to have someone supporting you, whether it is a friend, or your spouse.
I want to get some of my friends going with me too. I think we could teach each other a few tricks, not to mention, get to hang out, without the kids! How much fun would that be?
Who is up for it?
Anyway, thanks for listening to my fun, yet embarassing experience at the gym today. At least I didn't fart doing sit ups or something like that, YET..............................
Later.
