7.1.10



Wow, Wow, Wow - that is all I can say, Tonya works the crap out of you! Sweating a ton, crying, feeling pain in my sore muscles - all of it makes me feel GREAT! Today I had a double workout. First, I got up earlier to pack my breakfast & lunch. This is how I know I've changed. In the past I would not have thought out my entire day and packed a cooler with healthy foods to take with me. So, my day went like this: I ran 3.5 miles this morning with Tonya at Sedgwick County Park. We got done around 7:15 and I needed to be back on the west side by 10:30 for our "Hard Core" workout. Instead of going home to the east side and back I packed my blender, berries & protein powder for my breakfast and in my cooler packed grilled chicken with mixed veggies (the night before I grilled out mushrooms, peppers, onions and shrimp). I went to a friends house to make my shake. Then I hung out for a little bit, ran some errands and then met Tonya. On the way to my workout with Tonya I went through the Wendy's drive thru - this was my first time in three weeks (since I started this journey) that I've been to a fast food resturant. No need to worry - I just needed a bottle of water:) Of course, my workout with Tonya was very intense. She pushes me way past my comfort level but also to a place where I recognize qualities that I haven't seen in myself in a long time. As I'm crying on top of the picnic table (after holding planks and doing core work, this is after sprints with weights, running up a hill 10 times, pushing a stroller full of weights up another hill, squats, lunges and the list goes on) I told Tonya that I am finding the strong person that I used to be and whom I want to be. On a funny note, I asked two ladies in the park to rescue me as Tonya was "working me to death" - I know that everything Tonya does to me, for me or with me is in my best interest. I totally trust her and have faith in myself that I will reach my goals and live a healthier life. Thanks Tonya for all you've done for me! After my workout I picked my kids up from granny & papa's house, where they spent the night. It was now noon and I new I couldn't wait another hour to eat. Eventhough it was a pain to get up early to pack my foods, I'm so glad that I did it. Cheers to a healthier ME!
