Focus Week 1
Week 1:
Focus 1: enjoying the time at the gym
Today I went out early to help a friend and then ended up going to work then the gym. I mostly enjoyed the treadmill and the bicycle, but when I went to do my "weight/resistance" training I wasn't as pleased. It was a lot busier than normal and the area that we do our training part had a bunch of people. It was so busy that some of the personal trainers were taking their clients over to the boxing area to work there in a more undisturbed location.
I do feel I was successful at the gym. I was literally dripping with sweat and someone talked to me and I responded well. I know he was trying to be nice and motivate me, but I was nearing the end of my work out and just wanted to finish and go to clean up and have dinner so as he kept talking I just kept hearing 'blah blah blah' and was contemplating bouncing the exercise ball off of his head to see if he'd get the idea. I shouldn't be so anti-social, but when I am sweating and disgusting like that I am not in the mood to socialize. At least he was trying to be nice and even though I wanted to be grouchy I was pleasant in return (at least as pleasant as one can be when sweating like a pig).
So thus far this week I have gone to the gym twice. I am not going tomorrow. My core is sore and achy and I am not up for another "fun" day there. I will go on Wed and Friday and I think that will be my week. Wed I have my appointment with the Trainer. As sick as it sounds I am anxious yet excited. Anxious that she will see my food journal and not realize how really hard some of those days were (I turned down Shirley Cake today.... Pistachio Shirley cake!!!!) and excited because I know that I will learn something new and it will help me improve myself. She does motivate and make sure I do not do something in the wrong position (which I fear I do at times).
I think I am moving forward and am not feeling overwhelmed (another good thing) so I will keep moving forward and re-evaluate my situation come friday to see if I need to keep this focus or if I can add another goal in.
