Today was FINALLY my first workout with Antonio. We did legs. I cannot walk up the stairs, down the stairs, across the room...I cannot walk at all. We worked my ass too, so my butt's dying as well. It's a great feeling though...means I'm actually doing something good and right. Antonio is awesome. He's really encouraging but not cheerleader-y. He plays mind games with me too, which is what I need. Like he tells me I'm doing 10 reps, then once I get to 10 he makes me do 5 more. I love it! We'll see if I love it in a couple of weeks.
I'm realizing that the eating part isn't all that hard. It's easy to make good decisions when I'm working out. If I eat something crappy, I feel like the working out is a total waste.
The hardest part for me is getting my ass to the gym. That's really half the battle. When I get off work, I just want to go home and see my man and play with my dog. (And take a nap!) But I put my gym clothes on, get in my car and just see where I go. When I pull into the parking lot, I have to force myself to get out of the car and just walk. Once I'm there, it's all good and I kick ass. It's just the getting there that kills me. That's part of the reason I hired Antonio...I need someone to be there, making me accountable for myself. I see him again tomorrow. Can't wait to see what kind of torture he has planned for me!

So you work out with him two days in a row? Hope he gives your legs a rest. (and that you're stretching afterwords) Where is your gym? I'm thinking of signing up at the Gold's in Issaquah because it's only a mile or so from my new job and it would be so convenient to go strait there after work.
I usually work out with him on Tues and Thurs, but this week, he's off on Thurs so we did Wednesday instead. I go to LA Fitness in Federal Way. I really like it because it's huuuuuge so there's always a machine available. You should definitley join Gold's! Especially now that summer's almost over and it'll be raining every day. It's so much nicer to be running on a treadmill than running in the rain.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your drive and ambition! I'm over here bitching about baby weight, and my husband wants me to go work out with him...but because he's just like your trainer, I don't go. I need to take a hint from you and get my butt in gear! You've turned into an inspiration miss Julie! :)
Thanks Heidi! Seriously, if I can do it, anyone can do it...especially you!
