I was just reading Brittany's post about trainers, I couldn't have done this without one either. Its amazing how much harder I can push myself with someone there watching. We worked out today for an hour and even though I wasn't on as high a level as when Catherine is there I still felt like I was going to DIE, and I know I am capable of more.
We didn't make the class today because I went to the heart specialist with my Dad. He has had heart palpatations for quite some time, has a stent, had a PFO closure (hole in the heart) ((which by the way I have too and will some day need to have fixed)) and had an ablation done, his heart still isn't running right. I never really worried about mine before when he had problems but now I see how heredity plays a factor in this and I am so glad I am finally doing something to take better care of my heart. Being overweight wasn't a huge motivation (although it isn't fun), but knowing the trials one can go through with their heart it takes on a different light. I know this is hard and I am not trying to diminish anyones hard work, but this really isn't as hard as I made up my mind it would be (Impossible is the word I would have used). It does take a little more brain power when it comes to meal planning but I feel like I have a better handle on what I need to be doing. I keep my binder of information from Mindie's classes on my bar where I can refer to it at any time, and it has been a huge help. I hope I can keep up with all of these changes at the end of the 100 days, and now that I know, I CAN do it!
