Week One: Done

This was a GREAT first week! I LOVE going to FT. It's challenging and it's so motivating to have the trainer with you----you KNOW your form is right, plus you don't have to count reps, and they push you to go further than you would alone. It's pretty much non-stop work the whole time. I think the best part is the whole mind-body thing---you're able to forget about the issues or stresses that might be happening in your life, since you're just so focused on not falling off a ball or treadmill! :)
My husband is so supportive of this process and is also planning to follow some of the nutritional program with me. I've been experimenting with adding protein powder to a whole bunch of different foods---it is a vanilla flavor and tastes fantastic in yogurt. I love the Perdue Perfect Portions chicken too---it cooks in 15 minutes in the toaster oven and is a good 4-4.5 ounce size. Because the pieces are individually wrapped, there's not alot of prep or cleanup involved.
Dad and Bill ordered pizza last night from the new Wicked Cheesy Pizza that people have been raving about. It smelled good in the car on the way home, so instead of sitting around watching them eat, I took a jog around the neighborhood. Haven't done that in a very long time, and it felt great! The pizza didn't seem as appetizing by the time I got home, as I was feeling that the energy I just burned wasn't worth blowing on a slice or two. I think I had a rice cake with almond butter instead-yay!
Steering clear of the birthday cake tomorrow---as Lisa says, we have to be "clean eating" right now, and birthday cake is anything but clean.
Hope everyone has a good weekend...thanks for visiting :)
