Will Never be 'Thin'...

... and I am not trying to be. :-)

Hey Jai-Nation Citizens!! Long time, no blog.. I know. These past 2.5 weeks have been SO busy with school starting (as a teacher and student) and working. I was tired... often. I wasn't as diligent with exercise between training days because I was SO tired. One thing about working out is that you have to get your rest. My trainer told me that I am not doing any good being tired and trying to workout. You need sleep to help your metabolic rate (for fat loss) and to be able to do the workouts!! For routines that are strenuous, I need the energy!

Not sure how much I have lost, but I have seen that my clothes fit way better. Mind you, when I first started working out, I was at the end of my size; like STRUGGLING in my clothes. I didn't look jacked up, but I would safety pin shirts in areas where they would gap if I didn't because I was testing those seams. From the outside, it wasn't noticeable, but everytime I sat down, my pants pressed into my belly and it was uncomfortable. Now I am confidently and comfortably in my clothes. I am wearing shirts and pants that I wore last year and that is promising. I will never be thin and honestly I am not trying to be 'thin', but I do want to shape up what I have.

This week's routine is a body shaper indeed, but it is difficult. I was proud of myself on Friday evening. I had to do 3 sets of circuit training. I got to set 2 and was exhausted. My trainer was nice enough to offer to modify my exercises so I could get through the 3rd set; I kindly declined. I made it through and it was invigorating!! :-) Also, my stylist told me Friday that she could see the definition in my arms. That made me smile :-). It does take time to get to your goals. I had more fat than muscle and it takes time to build muscle. Right now, they are battling and I am determined that muscle will win!! I look forward to reaching my goals over the next 7 weeks until the trip. I will be going from 3 days a week to 2 days a week with my trainer so I need to get mentally prepared to be more independent.

I will let you know the progress. :-)

Until next post, *DEUCES* Jai-Nation citizens!!
