End of Week 5

Just got back from the gym. 2 days cardio this week, 2 days weights. I missed Monday due to migraine coming off caffiene, but now I am caffiene free.

Feeling pretty good about my progress. I still have a lot of doubt about how much it's really going to change my appearance.

Amy - End of Week 4

Good week. I am getting stronger and stronger on the weights. I asked my trainer today if I could do cardio at the home on weight days (1 mile on the treadmill). He told me to go for it, but not to do more than that. I think I need more cardio to burn the fat off. I still have a lot on my arms and other areas are still too pudgy. I hope that my upping the cardio it will help.

Amy - End of Week 3

Here's a big woohoooo for the end of Week 3. This week was MWF cardio, T/Th weights. I started getting the kids' cold on Tuesday. On Friday, I overslept and woke up at 4:30 totally stuffed up. Since it was too late to go and I felt awful, I skipped it, but I went in today. I went to the 2nd location since there was where my trainer was at today. There are only two classes at each location on a Saturday (7:00 and 8:00); I went to the 7:00. I liked the gym, it seemed "cleaner." I started with a run outside. This time I did 1.5 miles. The trainer complimented my running ability which made me feel good. I know 1.5 miles is still "small potatoes" but for someone who could barely run a mile their whole life, I am feeling pretty good.


After the run, we did some arm weight cardio stuff, then abs. I still can't do a sit up without someone holding my knees, but I know I will get there. I am going to have Eric help me at home.

I am still up 3-4 lbs on the scale, but it's holding there, so I will take it. Today is my cheat meal. I will probably still run tomorrow even though it's my rest day.

Shot some pics after my arm workout this am.

I can definitely see a diffference in the stomach. My shirt is not as tight and my abs look smaller and feel tighter.
