My trip to the gym was very productive and I believe in equal billing! It is now my um, right buttocks that is giving me the grief. But, with that said, the lunges and squats were a little easier. My balance is improving too. Good thing is tomorrow is arms and my legs and buttocks get the day off. Yippie! I came home and I am trying to drink a Premier Protein chocolate shake and I think it is disgusting. Not so much the taste but the smell reminds me of the tube feeding mixture we put in the pump to feed peeps through the feeding tube in their stomach. I am choking it down because it is good for me! Repairing my muscles so they can burn little "fatties" while I sleep. I may want to puke though. Sorry, enough about this protein drink.
I ran into my PT who informed me that she was increasing my weights. I think I am going to have a love/hate relationship with her. So I know now what is in-store for me. If I am going to be honest, I am starting to enjoy the pain. Pain and sweat at the gym seems to be the measure for me of my success.
As a parent, raising a teenager is a real chore. I love my son who will be 17 next month and he loves me. I consider us to be close. But, that does not change the fact he is a teenager, with teenager issues and with that comes the thought that I know nothing. I also understand nothing. It is a hard concept to grasp as the parent who has raised him, protected him and provides for him that I could be so stupid. I went in the laundry room and cried my eyes out that the simple things are such a struggle. In my laundry room is my pantry, there were a million and one things that looked totally comforting at that point. I could of ate it all, well maybe not, but I sure did want to grab some things that were chocolate and in a package and hold a pity party on the washer! As I sat there on the washer I thought of my SIL and all of you here on FS and I knew a chocolate pig feast was not an option. Day two of "Wayne's World Thanksgiving Challenge" would not be the time to lose control and start emotional eating. I can honestly say, I don't know if I would of stopped. So, I finished my good ole cry, dried my tears, came out of the laundry room and stated to my family "I am going to the gym." What an awesome release. I channeled all that pity into the best squats and lunges seen today by any human in Florida. Ha~ take that, little devil guy on my shoulder trying to cave me to give into my cravings.
Hope everyone had a great day, with good choices and some "fattie" burning of their own.
