Before After

Weigh-In -- 4 pounds down

I lost 4 pounds this week. That's 44 pounds in about 8 weeks.
 
I was hoping for more this week because I did 2 days worth of landscaping (and sweating) along with the pool workouts and not eating bad stuff. But I think I shot myself in the foot by eating too little. One day I only had 1305 calories. My trainer got on to me today for it.
 
My workouts are definitely getting more intense with my trainer. She is turning into Jillian from TBL. I felt like I was gonna have a heart attack before we stopped today. I can normally swim 4 lengths of the pool without stopping. Then I can't breath. Today She got my heart rate up my stepping up and down on the pool step 60 times. Then without a rest wanted 6 lengths of the pool with no breaks. I did it! Then she said 2 more. I did it! Then she said I was still too strong so do 2 more. and I DID IT! My pulse was 174 when I got done and was about to pass out I felt. But now I feel really good.
 
She said we are going to start doing that every time. Optimistically dreading it. LOL

We never know..

I'm glad you monitors your heart rate so closely while doing the work. Isn't it amazing to see how strong you really are? We never know how strong we are until we are pushed to do our best. Do you need a Jillian?   ;)

Look at you:  blew past that 6 week barrier and now there's not much stopping you!
 
Keep it up!
 
LOL @ optimistic dread
