Cupcakes & Twinkies & Cookies Oh My!
I went to the studio today, and my friend had cookies with icing, hostess cupcakes, Twinkies and Chinese Fried Rice. I think he was testing me, But I passed! I did not eat not one bite of that “Devil Food.” I stayed focused and we finished weeks 5 and 7 of my Couch to the 5K podcasts. Then I went to Bread Co grabbed some lunch and caught up on my bible reading assignments for the Get Fit 4 Christ Program. After lunch and a very long reading session, I met with Lyle the personal trainer. He had me start by warming up on the elliptical machine for 10 minutes. Then we did circuit training with dumbbells. He gave me 8 pound dumbbells in each hand! I’ve never worked out with 8 pound weights. It went really fast and reminded me of boot camp class, but at a faster pace. He also threw some Sit ups, push ups and jumping jacks in the routine. When it was time to do planks (holding up your body with your upper body muscles) I said the very bad “C” word…(I Can’t). He quickly corrected me, and said “you can” … And, I did. After a good sweaty workout, I came home and touched up my resume and cover letter. I have an interview tomorrow, so say a prayer, cross your fingers, or just run an extra lap for me! LOL.
