Two weeks down, Too many to go!

Ok, today is day 14 of my 90 day challenge. I had a fun surprise for me this morning.  I did not do laundry over the weekend, so most all of my workout clothes were dirty.  Looked through my drawer o' clothes and found a shirt that I tried to wear on day 1 which did not fit.  Figured, what the heck.  Throw it on and see if maybe it fits better.  What do you know, it fit much better and I could actually wear it out in public and not feel like a fat slob!

Got on the scale this morning and found out I have lost 12 lbs in 14 days, which is awesome in my book.  The slightly depressing part is it is only 1 lb in 6 days, but it is a loss.  But, then again, this weekend I was not exactly tracking my calories and I am sure that I went over, especially yesterday when I binged on some cheese puffs. 

Our upstairs Air Conditioner is out right now and I did not feel like sleeping on the couch so I slept with the windows open and some fans blowing cooler air (about 75°) into the 80°+ room while I slept.  Should mention it was about 90% humidity too...  Needless to say I did not sleep all that soundly, and when my alarm went off at 0600 to get my sorry ass out of bed, I did NOT want to!  

But - I had to.  Why?  Because of the fact that if I do not get up on Monday-Friday, chances are I will not make my 5 days of working out in for the week.  Yeah, I could've slept in, but I would have only gotten about another 30 minutes at most because I had an appointment with my personal trainer before work too.  The toughest part of working out is just getting into the gym.  I almost say getting to the gym, but in the past I have gotten to the gym, looked at the doors, then decided to drive home. 

So, while at the gym I weighed in. Why not do it at home?  Simple: the scale at home cannot weigh me.  That is one of the reasons I am working out, so I can weigh myself at home.  Did an easy 3.5 MPH walk on the treadmill at 0 incline for 30 minutes.  I took it easy, my right quadriceps are a bit sore from moving some oak furniture up the stairs Saturday and I did not stretch afterwards.  Since I was meeting my personal trainer afterwards, I did not want my quad to be killing me even more.  Did stretching before and after my cardio to loosen up my legs.  Headed to find my personal trainer and while waiting stretched some more.  

Olo always knows how to push me just to the line, but not so much that I cannot complete the workout.  We did barbells today.  All but 1 of the exercises was done while standing up, and Olo makes me do a shallow squat instead of just standing to increase the burn.  Not great for the quads, but  a great workout none the less.  After my workout, came home and went upstairs....to my 80°+ wonderland to shower.  Not the best thing to come home to, but what are ya gonna do.  Stretched some more, and my right quad is killing me more than before.  

Well, enough whining about my quad.  It feels (mostly) good to have 2+ weeks of working out under my belt.  Still not quite a routine yet, but it gets easier every day.

Many thanks again to Amy for sending me motivational photos.
