Blowin' it OUT!

This evening was session 2 with Anthony. :o)

We worked on shoulders and back, and then did more crunches on the big squooshy ball.

My arms are tired, to say the least. And I'm getting over the fear of Mr. Squooshy. I didn't even strain with my legs to hold myself in place this time. And he had me do 3 1-minute sets. :o) LOVE IT!

At the end of the session, he said "For the first time...you blew it out. Good job." :o) Fun fun fun.

And yesterday, I went to the gym and walked 2 miles on the treadmill, using up to a 3.0 incline.

The biggest hurdle I'm facing is something you'd think would be easy for someone like me, especially being addicted to food and all. I'm not getting enough calories. The last couple days I've averaged about 1600-1800 a day. Anthony told me that that is WAY too little. He wants me around 2000 a day, even 2200 for the first couple weeks. Problem is, I'm not hungry, and I'm eating 5 times a day. I've cut out all fast food, and am not eating all fat free or light, although some things are. I'm eating a lot more fiber, hence not being as hungry.

So, yeah. Gotta figure out how to get more calories, without going unhealthy. Sheesh.

The next session with Anthony is Tuesday afternoon. Till then I'll be treadmilling it daily. :o) I'm thinking 2 miles is a good target daily, although I may try to go a little more sometimes. I don't want to overdue it, but doggone it, it feels SO good to be moving! I just can't wait till I can RUN again! THAT is going to be SO MUCH FUN!

Otherwise, things are going well, and I'm super excited to be on the road to health!

Till next time!
