1st day on Weights! and 5 lbs Down!
I went to meet my trainer at 8am dressed to swim and she said "Oh, you're dressed for the pool?" Duh, I always dress for the pool. It's the only thing I do there. She said "I thought we might start weight training today"
I nervously agreed although I wasn't dressed properly. We did 30 minutes of weight training then I did finish in the pool for 20 more minutes. We did free weights and used 3 machines that I can't name. I am a complete novice to this equipment. I don't know the names of any of it, but I can tell you I felt each one! I was pretty sore and worn out when we finished.
I woke up with a swollen ankle (probably onset ot gout). I can walk, but not turn my ankle in any direction. I have to keep it straight. Doesn't really hurt to put weight on it as long as I keep it straight.
More good news! I weighed and lost 5 pounds from Thursday to Tuesday. That makes 62 pounds lost in 12 weeks. Still pushing to 100!
Everybody have a good night. I am logging off to get ready for The Biggest Loser Finale! I can't wait!
