Sore

OMG, it has been two days after my trainer's sample session and I am still sore. It feels so good. Muscles hurting that I typically do not use. I have decided to see how much for him to show me how to use all the machines and give me a 3-month training plan. I think I have the motivation to stick to it.

So for Lent I gave up chocolate and alcohol. So the alcohol will be easy but on my diet I eat a lot of fat free chocolate pudding and ice cream so it will be a challenge.

I found out that Dan from the orange team trains right down the street at gold's gym and also in N. Raleigh with Heba and Ed from last season. (As a matter of fact, I played poker weekly with Heba's brother for about 3 years and didn't realize it was his sister until I saw him on stage at the finale last year) Dan has lost 115 pounds so far and the finale is May 12th which is so good for him. He is so super determined still and that is inspiring me to continue.

I hate having my period =( I always gain around 2-5 pounds and feel so super bloated. It is so discouraging stepping on the scale. I went to the gym last night and did the elliptical while the Biggest Loser was on. I know I can do this. I feel like I have hit some kind of plateau and I want to break into the 220s this week. Tonight is the other half of the Biggest Loser so more elliptical. I am think of 2X a week trying to run 2-3 miles on the treadmill. It is so hard for me because I weigh so much, but I guess I have to start somewhere =/
