Update

Its been slow going this past week. My knee is still bothering me quite a bit so I have been lifting a lot more weights compared to the normal amount of cardio I do. I was up 1 pound last week, so as of this morning I weighed in at 192 instead of 191. Which is ok, I'm pretty sure its a pound of muscle gained & not fat. building muscle will benefit me in the long run and helps burn more calories. So the goal of the week is STILL to get into the 180's.

I really kicked some ass today at the gym. I did 40 minutes on level 20 on the elliptical trainer. I was soaked from head to toe. But after that workout I had such an exercise high... I LOVE that feeling! I felt like I could take on the world, seriously!

I can actually flex the muscles in my thighs now & my leg feels firm/hard on the front side.... the back side still needs a lot of work. And my arms are getting more defined, at least I think so. I just wish I could have some of the extra droopy stuff from the backs of my arms removed, they would look freaking awesome without that, but it may tighten up some as I lose more weight.

Physical therapy is going pretty good. I was expecting it to be more of a workout & a little harder than it actually is. My shoulder & knee get sore afterwards sometimes. Especially the shoulder. But it is getting better.

My personal trainer (Silver Fox) thinks I'm doing great and physically I have changed a lot since I've started this journey. I'm looking forward to my session with him on Wednesday morning as usual. He always has something new to make me suffer & work that much harder, but I love it, really I do. Is that so wrong? Hehe..
