So my Manager was in town to work with my counterpart and at the last minute decided to have dinner with me, so I missed out on training tonight with Dre. This is gonna sound crazy but I’m not sure but deep down I kind of psyched. OK so I know I’m not supposed to be that happy about missing working out but I’m tired. Seriously, I am physically burnt.

Dre is going to kick my butt. I didn’t work out today either. I was so planning on it. I was supposed to be in Dallas and I was going to work out there but I got stranded in the airport. I ended up at my parent’s house in KC and was worn out.

OK, I’m back at it. Today I went on a 5-mile hike with my mother and a 70lb standard poodle. This was such a good cardio day. I didn’t think trying to control a dog was going to be so intense. By the time we made it home, I was dripping with sweat. I am definitely feeling good. Even though it wasn’t planned that little break from working out helped me in the long run. My mind is right. Now if I could only get my eating under control. That really is my biggest problem. But one issue at a time. Tomorrow is a new day.

OMG…I went swimming today. I haven’t been in a pool swimming laps since I was on swim team in high school. I forgot how much of a workout it is. It literally works every muscle in your body and I was out of breath. I even had my Mom time me doing my laps. I was scared there for a second because she said I took 1 ½ minutes to complete 50 yards. Now, I know I’m not Dara Torres but I’m not that slow. I actually timed myself and got my best time at 27 seconds. Not bad!!! I will definitely be adding swimming back into my workout. It’s a very intense work out but not so stressful on the body.

Another hike…nothing to exciting.

Day of Rest!!! Actually I should have pushed myself to do something because I could have worked out. I haven’t done a lot of weights in the last week so I’m not as tired as I was in the beginning. I’m a little disappointed in myself. Should have pushed myself especially since I missed two days last week.

Boxing is no joke. 60 minutes of cardio and those damn 150lb weight bags. My arms are hurting. But I’m starting to see the benefits. Some of my clothes are feeling looser. Yay!!! Progress!!!

Treadmill…boring!!! But it counts.

Had my first injury. I twisted my back in class. There was so much pain that I had to leave class early. Not looking good for the kid. Will be taking an Epson salt bath and a muscle relaxer.

Woke up feeling a little better. Back is aching but not as bad as yesterday. I’ll take it easy and just do cardio on the treadmill. I made it through the 60 minutes with out too much of a problem.

First workout with Dre in 2 weeks. Gonna do Kettlebells. Got my back brace ready. Not a good thing to do with a bad back. When I was doing the swings, I could feel the nerve being pinched. I tried to complete the workout but I knew it was over when Dre kept coming up to me to tell me I was doing it wrong. So I just started do a floor workout with the kettlebells. But I had done some damage, I could tell.

Oh, heckie naw!!! No working out today. My back is completely locked up. Need to make an appointment with the chiropractor.

It’s my day off but my back is still hurting. It’s getting better though. Maybe I’ll be able to get back to it tomorrow.
