What can I say…I have been busy.  Relatively behaving, although I can’t say I have been pushing as hard these last 9 days.  I have been to the gym every day – apart from today.

My body has been in protest.  First, it was my knee, was getting really sore.  Explained to the trainer that the exercises were hurting it, so eventually he realised I wasn’t trying to get out of exercise (I am paying for it, if I didn’t want to do it, I wouldn’t!)…so hurting me to put any weight on the knee when im bending the leg.  So we focused on upper body.  And would you believe it, my elbow went out – some muscle I have never heard of.  And just as that gets right, my neck goes out.  My body is breaking down!  Now my neck is starting to come right, I wake up sick today – and I very rarely get sick.  So wondering if I need to eat more vege and started taking vitamins again today.

I will go to the gym again tomorrow, do some cardio and light weights.  Have been taking it a bit easier this week, might not be a great weigh in.  Oh, I should post my last weigh in results…

Things have been running too smoothly.  Or so it would seem.  Today I woke up with a sore throat and runny nose – winter must be coming – I had the sniffles.  As if that would prevent me going to the gym.

bad days happen

I had a one hour session with my Trainer, but after a few exercises, my knee started to really hurt – resulting in a slight limp and no more leg exercises.  Great – so we can focus on the upper body.  Getting through an exercise and bang – some muscle near my elbow goes pop.  Found a few more exercises that did not require elbow or knees, but eventually, after 55 minutes, had to call it quits.  My body seemed to be in break down mode today.

As in any journey, there are good days and bad days.  Today was definately not one of the good days in terms of my weight loss challenge!  So rested up for the rest of the day and hopefully will be OK to do some cardio work tomorrow.
