Weight Loss

During my workout yesterday, I really wanted to lift weights. I really wanted to lift weights but then it's like everyone else read my mind and headed over to the weights area :-(

Today, I went to the gym again after work. I ran into someone whom I'd gone to high school with and we just kinda started talking. Nonchalantly we talked about what we'd been up to. He said he had been working out for about two years now. I told him how I had issues going over to the weight section because all these guys just came pouring in. He said, ya know what don't pay attention to them. They are there with one goal in mind and that's it. I shrugged my shoulders, agreeing. He then said if you want I am working legs today, do you want to workout with me? So, I quickly surveyed the area and a lot of people were gone.

We talked a bit and he just went through the motions reminding me how to do it and I did the same while he rested for his next rep and we switched out and it was perfect! Thank you Jesus! I then ran into my cousin who just got out of jail, he is so sweet, it sucks when the enemy takes a hold of you life and you can't seem to get out of the loop of his deadly roller coaster.

Anyway, back to what happened we had fun, my legs feel like mush...but it was worth it. I'm getting back on track. My personal trainer Eli, says I should be in shape in no time. He estimates two months...lol. Thanks Jesus for my answered prayers, I'm not sure what else you'll be doing in the meanwhile but let it be your will, help me to be a blessing to him and his family, as he is being to me.

I also had my first ever protein smoothie.

I dreaded not knowing if it would be gross or not.

This is what I put in it:

1 cup of healthy choice apple juice (sold in Kroger)
1 cup of frozen medley berries (equate - Walmart)
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder ( i purchased as Wal-Mart)

Let me say, I was very much delighted with the taste! O M G!! I never thought a protein shake would be so good. Somehow, I did wish it tasted like chocolate. I'm sure that would be weird. Anyway, I'll be buying a chocolate flavor next time. I need some vitamins as well.
