I do! I am so tired from my workout today that it’s not even funny. Add to that bringing up a week’s full of groceries after all of that, and we live on the 6th floor. It’s worth it, though. Days like today I feel like I can do anything!

My talk with the trainer went incredibly well. She gave me images to show where I could be in three months and then in 6 months, then a year. I can make crazy progress if I keep going three times a week and follow my plan. We’re even eating better lately! I’ve gotten out of my “funk” somehow and come up with good recipes that are healthy and that Matt will eat. We haven’t had fast food in days! Check some of the meals we’ve had for dinner lately here.

Today I really was brave with my workout. I went in early for a class to get a regular workout done BEFORE the class. Here’s what I did:

• Warmup: 5 minutes on the treadmill, 2.5 speed
• Lower Back: 12 reps, 95 lbs.
• Leg Extension: 12 reps, 50 lbs.
• Leg Curl: 12 reps, 65 lbs.
• Leg Press: 12 reps, 80 lbs.
• Seated Row: 12 reps, 50 lbs.
• Chest Press: 12 reps, 30 lbs.
• Shoulder Lateral Raise: 12 reps, 20 lbs.
• Bicep: 10 reps, 30 lbs.
• Tricep: 10 reps, 30 lbs.
• Ball crunches: 12 reps.
• Cardio: 17 minutes, treadmill, 2.5 speed.

All of this followed by a Body Flow class - Yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi for an hour. Can you see why I want to melt into a puddle now?

Mew Mew is almost completely back to normal now. Jumping around, playing, eating, talking… Yes, talking. Or meowing. Whatever you want to think of it. She’s always been a chatty cat and while she was recovering she was almost silent. I like her this way much better. Of course, being the overprotective cat mama that I am I’m watching her very closely - I don’t want her to pull a stitch or anything. She has to get them out in about a week.
