What is it? 3? 4 weeks now of personal training? I think I might be at 4. I can't say my body looks different yet, but that's to be expected. All my muscle is building beneath the layers of slow burning fat (there's not that much fat). Do you remember in health class when they brought in that rubber blub (or maybe just pictures) of how much 1 lb of fat is? Ugh. It was gross. Yeah, my gym keeps a 5 lb rubber wrinkly yellow blub of fake fat lying around for show and tell. Motivation I think? Every time I look at it, first I think (eww!), how many people have touched that (?), then I think about the 4 of those spread around my body I want to lose, and I start hating my extra cheese philosophy. So it's works, I guess. But today I have made a grand accomplishment! I went an entire grueling personal training session without once breaking because I thought I was going to pass out! It's a first, in my 3 or 4 weeks (where ever we are at). And I am not ashamed to say, I am a little proud of myself. I had a little "Go ME!" moment in the locker room once no one was looking. I mean, I'm still totally beat and sluggish 45 minutes later. BUT, one step at a time. One ency baby step at a time.

   nice going! don't lose motivation for lack of results. pay attention to getting stronger more than pounds (I have to keep telling myself this, so I thought I would share)*sigh* . . .

   I played 2 hours of basketball Monday, for the first time... ever. I don't know how I didn't die.
