Wow it has been a while

From this point on i am going to start sharing tips on fitness and some great facts.

Below is my journey when I started fitness training and this blog.

Been a while since i have blogged. With the power outage and two major storms I feel like I haven't worked out forever. Of course this time of year is so much more crazier than usual with something to do or go to everynight of the week. I can't wait to be off the rest of this week and next.

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Hope Santa is good to ya! Here are some cute cartoons - enjoy!

Day 55 in the Gym

Still feeling like crap but I got up and made it to the gym by 5PM. It was just me and Deena today. Andy kicked outA**! Oh my gosh my arms felt like wet soggy mush! There was no rest for the weary - no rest between arm exercies. I can't believe the amount of push-ups that we were made to do. Lots and Lots of ab workouts today - loved it! (even though i hated it at the time) After all was said and done i was happy i got my sick A** out of bed and went. I am so sore!

Day 54

Today i was sick and didn't make it into work. My voice is still gone and I feel like crap! I can't believe I have felt so bad since Saturday. While being home I edited all the individual and team photos for our hockey team. At least I was productive and got that out. I love being home. I hope soon I can quit my job and stay home and help out with our hockey program - ahhhh to dream......

Day 53 in the Gym

Quote of Day....

"I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude-your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people-determines you priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." Carolyn Warner

still feeling like crap and my voice is still not back. I felt weak today but I managed to get through the workout. We worked back, legs and abs. I actually did some of the machines for legs and my knee isn't hurting which makes me happy. I just wish I felt better. I am tired of being sick or having something wrong with my body. It totally makes us appreciate our health when something isn't right with us.

Day 51 & 52

ahhh The Weekend - i was sick - lost my voice (which most people enjoyed) especially my boys! body aches and sore throat. I did manage to make it to Brandon's hockey game and i went to the Training Effects party. Had a nice time. I met allot of clients and everyone was very friendly. It was nice to see the Slim To Win contestants dressed up, hair combed and make-up on. Even Andy was looking pretty "sporty" with his hat and dress pants.

Got home around 1:15AM and didn't sleep well. Sunday I felt like a truck ran over me and i totally lost my voice. I did manage to go another hockey game but i didn't even put my contacts in and i was looking like I felt. Scott came home on Sunday night and I was already in bed at 8PM.

Day 49 & 50

So I am totally still sore from Wednesday. The backs of my arms are still hurting and today we did lots of pushups. Good workout today. I like doing arms and abs. I can't believe how sore I am though.

Hubby is going out of town for three days hunting so it is just me and boys. Tonight is hockey practice, tomorrow we have a game and Sunday we have a game. Scotty has two games this weekend.

I still haven't had time to decorate the house yet maybe this weekend and we will put the tree up when Scott gets home.

Last night we celebrated Scotty's 19th b-day at The Texas Roadhouse - I got a steak, salad and greenbeans - yum!

The photos posted today are for ANDY. (love ya man!)

Deena & Kelly will get it.

Signing off now

Patrick :-)

Day 47 & 48

Nothing to exciting happening. I got my haircut last night and watched The Biggest Loser. I was surprised that Vicky didn't vote Ed off. I think they all FAB and I can't wait to see the finale.

Today, Andy worked us hard shoulders and back. I have to say that hour went by slow today. I felt so good until around 1:30PM today - now I am dragging and just want to take a nap.

I need to get in the mood for the holidays - everyday just keeps on flying by and I need to decorate my house and I just can't get the time or in the mood to do it. Maybe Santa can bring me some energy and more time. Ahhhh wouldn't that be nice....

Day 46 in the Gym....

It is cold and rainy and getting up at 4AM still bites. It just dosn't get any easier. Today was legs and shoulders and abs. I did the bike for about 15 minutes while the others did legs. My knee is still bothering me but it feels so much better than it did a few weeks back. I joined the chicks for shoulders and I just had a hard time today. I had a headache that came out of no where and I didn't feel strong today. I am going to relook at my food log and try to add some more fruits and veggies into it.

I am looking into getting Scotty for his 19th b-day this week some sessions with Andy or someone at TE. I want them to kick his A** the way they kick mine (ha ha)
