I have been working with Steve all week and as usual he increases my weight. I have managed to give the same reps or a few more than the last time with the weight increase. I am feeling a significant difference in my body and my energy as each week passes. Last Saturday I went for Pilates and the instructor couldn’t make the class. Crystal, the other trainer from hell, stepped in to give us a work out. I am just kidding. Crystal is wonderful. She keeps the step class going strong while helping the newbie’s keep up and get the steps right. We did step instead of Pilates for an hour. It was more focused on light weights and stretching but it was a good work out. Feeling I had accomplished a good work out with Crystal after running for 20 minutes before the class, I was getting ready to head home and Crystal reminded me that I committed to taking her step class at 10:00. Crystal leads the step class with out compensation for the Battle of the Bulge people. We really appreciate her dedication to our health and the program. I think she just likes to see me suffer. I finished her step class which gave me 2 hours and 30 minutes of exercise to start my Saturday morning. I was exhausted. It didn’t help that my 14 year old daughter went with me to encourage me. (She likes to see me suffer too I think.) It’s Wednesday morning and I ran another 5K on the treadmill. I shaved 3:43 seconds off my first 5K last Wednesday and I feel great so far this morning.
Thanks for everybody’s support.
