A GORGEOUS Day today. 75 degrees in February. WOOT HOOT! Just a few days ago we had snow on the ground. Two weeks ago it was a blizzard. One week ago it was dangerously freezing temperatures. All day long I was excited about my workout with Mike. We've had some problems with schedules and it has been two weeks since we worked out. I met my goal for the past two weeks and have made it to the gym every day with the exception of the day I had class. I'm soooo proud of this. I have felt a lot better.
Now as I looked forward to the workout with Trainer Mike, I had a couple of fleeting thoughts..."It's really nice out. We could do parking lot lunges." Followed by "I'm not meeting him until 6:00 it will be dark there is no way we will go into the parking lot."
Trainer Mike arrived and I wanted to hug him I was so excited to get an intense workout in. He gave me a smile and said let's do a mile on the treadmill. I gave him a look. I did my mile. UGH! We followed that by kettle ball farmer walks, kettle ball dead lifts, and push ups, and lunges. And then he said, "Come on we're going outside." I said, "But it's dark." He just gave me that look. I ran three parking lot sprints. With my trainer yelling me on with terms like "Faster, faster, come on, that looks great. There was also a component of him directing me to not get hit by a car in the lot, but I'm alive and well. Aside from the fact that I thought I might pass out, all of the sprinting in the gym this winter paid off. I did much better than I did last year. AND I LOVED IT!!! It was a great feeling to get that air into my lunges. I can't wait for the weather to change so we can do this consistently.
So goals are being met. I've been extremely stressed recently and going to the gym has been so therapeutic. Also I needed to get back into the routine with Mike and get my butt kicked. He did it in full force. Loved every minute of it. I get to workout with Mike again on Sunday. Just Bring it!
