My March 1st Workout! I never thought I could smile so hard during a workout!

With 2 weeks of eating nothing but vegetables and 2 successful colonics. I was ready for my first session with my new trainer. Let me first tell you that my trainer is a fine specimen of a man! I will refrain from using his first name to maintain his anonymity (that is until he allows me to use a photo of him on this blog). So until then, let's just call him Amen. Amen has an 8 pack, lovely pecs and gluts that would make you want to run to the gym every day. I was saying Amen to myself everytime he was within my eye sight. I have not smiled so hard since I was a teenager running for some small town beauty pageant.

Amen is a striking man, not only due to his gifted physique, but his personality is great. He is attentive and very good at motivating me. As if I need motivation to get to the gym for our date...oops I mean our workout. Yes, the workout...I digressed. Amen worked out my trouble areas and trust me he has his work cut out. I have more than a few trouble areas! He showed me various techniques that we will use to get rid of the inner tube around my waist.

I will be working out once a week with him because a trainer is expensive and going to the gym on my own twice a week. I think its a great start. Especially with my new lifestyle. I refuse to call this a diet. It is a lifestyle change.

My lifestyle change was put to the test this past weekend. With the CIAA in town, I had friends visiting. Now we all know when friends visit, diets go out the window! My new lifestyle change was put to the test and I passed. I ate reasonably only having 2 small desserts and I did not eat meat or anything fatty. I ate fish and a lot of vegetables. I did prepare brunch on Sunday and had to cook bacon, sausages, biscuits and French toast. But I also prepared fresh fruit and a lighter egg dish for myself. I made sure all the fattening dishes were eaten by my guests and all leftovers were discarded immediately. Later after my guest departed, I got on the treadmill and ran like the wind. I waited to weigh myself and did so this morning, I did not gain a pound! All the walking we did this weekend worked to my benefit!

Today is my second workout with Amen and I think he will be proud that I did not gain weight after my great weekend. So the lesson learned is stick to your routine, even if you have guests or you travel. You don't have to compromise or feel guilty. There are tasty alternatives!
