end of week #2

Well it's the end of week #2!  I did receive a lot of "that a girl" from my friends that saw me in the paper this week! Thank you for those, I needed to hear that!! This week was weird for some reason. I was aggravated several times. For no particular reason that I can think of. Someone told me that I'm probably crashing from not eating continusously and laying off the sugar and diet pop. That could be it. Finally on Friday I felt back to normal.
     My workouts at the fitness center are going well, and I met with Hannah from Slim and Fit, and received my work out session with her,  and we also talked about nutrition. I think I'm going to be sore tomorrow because I had gone and worked out at the fitness center first, then saw Hannah!! YIKES!! I learned a lot from Hannah such as exercising is just not moving, it's using using muscles I didin't know I had! Bob and I went snow shoeing at Chapin forest in Kirtland this afternoon. What a wonderful day, and what a work out it was! If you haven't done it before I recommend it! Walking in the woods on a sunshiny day!! I'll sleep good tonite!
      I'm still struggling with the lose weight slowly, it takes time thing. As I looked in the mirror this morning, I still look the same! Geez, it's been two weeks, I'm working out everyday, and watching what I eat. I should be skinny by now!!! That's what I'm struggling with, I want to be thin NOW!! I can't get defeated  over it. I didn't gain this week in two weeks, I can't expect to lose it in 2 weeks either. Wishful thinking....Patience is a virtue I guess.
       I still believe my dogs are getting a kick out of watching me exercise and make my funny noises!  They're learing to stay away from me when I'm on the exercise ball, I did almost roll over the daschund on Wednesday! Along with that, I'm pretty sure they're stll making fun of me!!!! Wish me luck going on week #3!!
