Oh my calves!

Monday started my 2nd week of training. Here's what we did:

9 minute eliptical warmup
3 flights of stairs 6-8 times. (I try to forget!)
pull down rope-thing (so technical, i know!)
push up bar
push ups
tension band pulls

I really expected my arms to be uncomfortable, but it's all in my calves. I think that's because I rest my arms at work all day. My legs, however, are in constant use standing, walking and then hauling my butt up and down stairs when I get home.

I'm not seeing a lot of weightloss yet, unless the scale at work is broken. I think I've done a pretty good job of eating clean, though I'm still learning so much every day.

Jay has been SUPER encouraging. It's awesome! It's nice to have someone to support you on your lifestyle change instead of judge you or try to fill your mind with all these "lose weight quick" schemes. Dude knows his stuff. And it's just nice to have someone to talk to after work. I can't tell you when the last time someone asked me how my day was before I started training.

I want to keep improving. I'm so serious about eating healthy and excercising regularly. It's not easy, but I think it will get easier in time.

In life, you have to fight for what you want, be it freedom, love or wealth. All of that means nothing if you're not healthy.
