Month 2

Month 2

Now we are rolling:

As the time goes on the eating becomes an easier thing to get used to.  I am still not perfect but I am a lot better.  We continue meeting with Alicia and we fine tune the things we are doing.  Improving afternoon snacks making them a little bigger so I’m not starving come dinner time.  We hit bumps like going to party unprepared.  It was a hard lesson to learn going out and eating properly.  Restaurants are ok Jonathan and I will look at the menu and discuss what we feel are the best options and what we feel would be good for us.  A lot of restaurants have healthy options which can make your life a lot easier.  You just have to be smart and sensible I have found.  The major hiccup was a birthday party we went to.  We didn’t eat before hand and by the time the food was out we were starving.  The only food they had was finger foods.  There is nothing good about a finger food except for how they taste which is usually awesome.  Jonathan and I failed hard that night.  The next morning I felt sick my body didn’t like that food anymore and it was telling me.  The important thing when you fail you can’t let it keep you down.  One bad meal can easily turn into a two week binge of crap.  You got to look on the inside and say yeah I messed up last night now let’s cut the shit and do today right let’s do breakfast right.  Don’t kill yourself over stumbles.  At the gym play time was over.  We continued with the boot camp format this month but now there were no breaks when he was doing one on ones.  If Edmund was working one of us the other is doing squats with a jump, jumping jacks, and suicides running backwards or running a stack of 45lbs plates across the gym.  All the exercises are new including the stretches and the warm-ups.  In the warm up he added a lot of jumping and he added jogging.  At the begging of the month we would jog for a minute which doesn’t seem like much but when you haven’t ran since I would say 14 years or so.  It’s amazing what your body can do even if your mind doesn’t think it’s possible.  That’s the most essential part of working with a trainer.  They are there telling you what you are capable of doing and assuring that you’re doing the work correctly and safely.  They keep you grounded by making sure you don’t convince yourself you can do more than you are capable of too.  You got to have trust in your trainer and take the leap that of faith that they are there for all the right reasons.  Jonathan and I are lucky to be working with a trainer.  If we didn’t have one we would still be working out but it would be a lot easier stuff.  You just got to get moving.  Even just walking around your neighborhood is better than nothing.  Go for 5 minutes then the next day go for 6 and everyday will get a little easier.
