Since my first training session on Saturday morning, I have stayed the course and FEEL GREAT!!!!!

I have worked out every day - even did more treadmill Saturday after walking the dogs -well, running when it started raining and we were half mile from home! Treadmill and walking Sunday, Treadmill Monday along with some core stretching and balance exercises he taught me Saturday which I didn't do well at - so let's surprise him when I start getting stronger and more balanced quicker! 2nd session was this morn and it was HARD - but I was drenched with sweat afterwards so that's a good sign!

The BEST accomplishment though has been my eating and drinking. I have eaten every 3 hrs and only healthy foods - with NO cheating at all. I haven't had a drop of alcohol -even WINE - since last week. My new favorite drinks are Perrier with lemon, hot water with fresh lemon juice, green tea and bottle and bottles of water! No snacking at night - except for a handful of edamame - and getting to bed early and getting a good night sleep....thanks to Lunesta. Hey, so I can't shut my mind off - now it runs with excitement instead of stress -thinking of all the fun things I get to do again this summer. We can finally use the community pool for the first time...we can attend my husband's best friends' bday/4th of July BBQ this year - and I get to ENJOY the Grand Caymans!!

I finally feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel and like I will soon be able to look in the mirror and recognize the person looking back.
