So, on Thursday night, I dragged my not so peppy self to the gym to meet Melissa for my first paid training session. Boy did she make me work! It was so exhilarating! She expanded my workout, which was fantastic because I was getting bored with the exercises from the previous session several weeks before. I have 11 more sessions with her.

I have also changed my diet to cut out most sugar (read – no more desserts). I am also eating more protein to help beef up my muscles, which are sadly small at present. This small muscle thing was very evident when Melissa had me doing 10 lunges on each leg. At one shaky point, I’m in the lunge ready to start pushing myself back up when I find that I can’t. Yeah, it’s pretty sad when you’re in a lunge with no extra weight and standing is too much. I will say that this was lunge #10 on set #2. I think that saves face a little 😉

Anyway, I will be so glad to be out of this wobbly leg phase. I hope it is soon-ish. Stay with it! Strength will come…
