Got another training session with Wayne tomorrow.  We've done upper body, then abs, and just last week we did lower body.  My legs were wobbly and I could barely sit the day after the last session.  Not sure what tomorrow will bring.  I did see him as I walked in the door today.  Asked what he had planned for me tomorrow so that I knew what to work ( Read more... )

Had another session with my trainer today, starting with full measurements.  I was bummed that he couldn't find my chart from March, when we also did full stats.  I know that I weighed in at 213 then, and my BMI was 39.7, but I really don't remember much else.  He was able to look up my stats from last September though, since it had to be entered ( Read more... )

Had one of those Kentucky Bourbon burgers for dinner tonight, with a decent handful of fries.  Yeah, I know, really bad news for the diet.  At least I only had the regular size sandwich, not the humongous "Six Dollar Burger" size.  Am still stuffed anyway.  Wasn't even craving it or anything, just not in the mood for leftovers.  Didn't hit the gym ( Read more... )
