A Huge Ships Rope and a Morning Run

0  comments

Sharing this journey of getting healthy and also getting ready for the book premier event publicly has actually given me so much extra support. I thank all of you that have commented on my blog, Facebook page and in emails. I knew I was not alone with the struggle with my weight, but I was pleasantly surprised by the personal stories shared with me. May we all be successful in getting healthy!

Today was day 5 of my workout with my trainers from Double Eagle Fitness in Novato. Each time it seems to get harder, yet I notice I can do more each time. They come 2 times a week and I supplement my exercise program with walking and working out on my own. I must admit, I don't get excited yet to exercise. I am so grateful for Beqir and Samantha who push me but also acknowledge the hard work and changes that occur. Today I went for my first run. Ok, it was a trot at first and then it turned into a power walk. Next time I will be faster. That was followed by a session with the rope, core work and stretching.

Today I go to get fitted for undergarments for my dress for the book premier. All of my clothes are getting too big for me! I don't want to buy much since I plan on continuing even after this event with my exercise. The healthy eating and exercise has me feeling better, I have more energy and I wake up refreshed.

Here are some pictures of the torture I had to endure today! I think they stay up late at night to make up these weird and unconventional ways of working out!

I knew I was in trouble when Beqir entered hauling some type of ship rope and a very heavy weight! He looks so happy when he comes in to torture me.

 

The rope was so much heavier than it looked. It made huge noise as it would bang back down onto the porch!

 

Beqir used a stop watch to time me. It did not make the seconds go by faster, in fact I am sure they went slower!

 

By the end I could not raise the rope up by my head!

 

So as I sit her typing this, I am noticing how sore I am all over. Every where! Let me know how you are doing in your life getting healthy!
