4 LB DOWN!!!!! Yes there has finally been some weightloss! I found out on Friday but it was confirmed by the gyms fancy scale yesterday! So yay that is very exciting to finally see some results!!!
What an encouraging week this has been! My running has been really good as yesterday I did 5k and I ran more of it then I walked and did it in just under an hour! So my 2 hour time limit for the 10k on Sunday should be good. I have also had people encourage me in a variety off ways. This morning I woke up to a text that included a free bag of Visalus!!! (Thank you brooklyn!!!) not to mention I am very very happy every day thanks to the exercise endorphins haha!
This week I start school...tomorrow actually. So I am really aiming to keep my focus on my course and my workouts. Lots to do! I am excited but also worried about falling into traps food wise while I'm doing homework and working full time lol. A bit scary but I believe I can do it!
My main goal for this week is the TC10K. To not get discouraged, to keep my focus on my breathing and get through it feeling good! I am excited to do it but also terrified. I will bring you updates after the run!!! Until then, have a good week!!!!

PROGRESS!!!!!
No weight loss yet.....BUT I have definitely made progress in my fitness! Trent decided to be sneaky and add weight onto each of my machines without telling me haha. It worked well because I noticed a difference but wasn't aware that it was actually heavier. So that is progress!
Yesterday he did a lot of core things with me like bicycles and crunchies and leg lifts (I loath leg lifts) and I was dead after! But today I woke up and was not sore and met with him again and he worked me even harder then yesterday and I feel great that I did it! I also ran for 10 min straight on the tread mill!!!!! I used to go to the gym back in the fall and I could only run for 2 min tops on the tread mill so for me this is huge!
I have had a few food slip ups but have not been giving into pop or really sugary things and have been noticing that I don't feel the need to eat really sugary things! I had a rough couple days with an incident that took place at work but i was able to keep the emotional eating under control!!! I'm really excited about all the small changes that have taken place in the past few weeks. Now if only my body would get smaller!!!!
Here are some photos....

2 weeks in
Well I donno about you today but all my muscles are very sore! Guess that means I was working out properly! I have been enjoying my training sessions with Trent and look forward to them but they definitely do not come without some pain and suffering haha.
In 2.5 weeks I'm supposed I run a 10k but I will most likely be walking most of it as the dr only recently cleared me to run haha. I am a bit afraid but am focusing a lot of my energy towards positive thinking during my workouts and positive motivation.
I haven't seen any weight loss yet but it hasn't helped that I've had my cycle and that tends to make me look like I'm pregnant with my bloating :( but hey! Once that's I've ima look like I lost 20 lb! Hahaha.
My cycle comes with the challenge of eating properly. I have NO control over myself when that time comes. I need my junk food or ima kill you! But i was actually Fairly good with myself! I did give in to a few things but I said no to ice cream and a cheese burger and chocolate bars. So that was alright. However, I have to stop letting my veggies rot in my fridge and instead eat them! Opps!
My goal for this week is to pick up my running but since I will be in Vancouver for the weekend I will make this my goal for the next 2 weeks in preparation for my 10k. This is the first step to that half marathon goal in 2014!!!

A week and a half in
Well I'm a week and a half In to my physical change and Im feeling pretty good! My challenge last week was to avoid temptation and though I didn't succeed completely, I feel as though I did pretty good. I only had 2 pops, and some Easter chocolate, but I did not give in to the cream egg!!!!! Yay!!! So overall I feel as though I did very well.
Today will be my third session with Trent and although I'm not looking forward to being stiff and sore, I actually look forward to them each time! He has been focusing a lot on building muscle, but I'm hoping to start cardio soon as well!
This weeks challenge will to be to start running again! I am supposed to be doing the TC 10K in a few weeks, and though I plan on walking 98% of it, I would like to run some of it as well! So that is where my focus will be in the weeks to come!
GO FITNESS!!!!!
