Never be anything less than you can be!
This is the motto of my Genesis Personal Trainer - Steve and it really spoke to me loud and clear. I had my first training session with him today and enjoyed being back in the swing of things but have to say that I am disappointed in myself. My disappointment is NOT because of my performance, considering I am still not 100% I put in an amazing effort today it is because I took 'control' and told him how I wanted to train rather than letting his do his job to smash down my comfort zone barriers. I just want to add here a huge Thank you to my amazing friends Marianne and Kerriann for being honest and upfront with me and calling me on it!! So what's done is done and I have sent him a message apologising for being a Diva and organised another session for Wednesday this week based on how he wants to train me and what he thinks is good for me. I did ofcourse tell him that I like to be challenged and use to time efficiently and all that kind of stuff but its at least a step in the right direction.
EXERCISE:
It has been a massive exercise day today and I have to admitt that I am feeling it - my legs are like jelly!10 minutes Bike (Kids to and from school)
10 minutes on the Elliptical at M.E.T of 7 (warm up)
10 minutes on the Bike (cool down)
30 minutes PT session - Upper Body Resistance
45 minutes Boxing session with Impact that was awesome!
Total of 1 hr and 45 mins - Total Calories burnt = 1036
FOOD:
The girls and I went for a cuppa after gym and I am so proud of myself because instead of my usual 'skinny chai latte' I had a Peppermint Tea and it was really nice and refreshing and I will definately make the same choice next time.
I have done OK with my nutrition today although I fell short on my calorie intake (I should be having 1430calories) and I didn't fit it within my 3 hour time bracket. Oh, I also had an Atkins Chocolate Bar but I really could of gone without it.

Well that's that for day 1....I didn't finish this blog post last night because I was totally exhausted and ended up going to be at 9.30pm which for me is very rare and meant that I didn't get any study done so once again I am behind the 8 ball :( *sigh*, but on a plus I did get a good rest. I am now heading off to my very first Genesis Boxing Class and although my body is feeling a little sore (mostly shoulders - I do not like lateral raises) and I am having comfort zone issues I am ready to give it everything I've got.
