Being Sore Is A Good Thing?

So I'm starting to branch out a bit and thought I would share some things going on in my life this week...here goes:

I'm on week 2 of my training program and have learned that I hate working out and would not do it unless I had someone to report to (my trainer).  Yep, I'd pretty much rather starve myself than get on the treadmill lol.  I do love hiking and power walking though, so that's a step.  I've been so sore for a week, and I'm told most people kill for that feeling, but I kind of like getting out of bed in the morning without crying ;-).  Maybe it's just me?  I don't know, but I like being able to get in and out of the car without wincing in pain.

In the meantime, I have developed a love for Mrs. Dash.  Yes, the seasoning.  I put so much of it all over my chicken and fish that it makes a crunchy coating and I feel like I'm eating something bad...how sad is this?

The good news is the weekend is on it's way and I can cheat on Saturday...Hallelujah!  Any tips or recipes you'd like to share with me?  I'd welcome any advice!  Thanks friends for allowing me to vent.  Have a great night.

My Road To Fitness

Good morning.  I apologize I have been a little MIA on Twitter and responding to blog posts this week.  I rarely share anything personal on my blog, but have to tell you I am having a tough time this week.  I have decided to get into shape and start on a healthy diet plan.  The diet is simple, no biggie, I've done this before.  I will stick to it and I know I will have success.  The problem?  The workout.

I started with a personal trainer this week, and have to tell you I am so frustrated and upset with myself.  How on earth have I allowed myself to go my entire life without working out?  I have absolutely no muscle tone and at 35 years of age am at step 1.  I didn't play sports in high school, and didn't think you had to be in shape, just thin.  I was so wrong.  Now, I'm suffering the pain because of it.  

I know it will get better and easier, but just wanted to say thank you to all my blogger and Twitter friends.  You all are so supportive and I have to tell you you motivate me more than you know.  I will keep you posted on my progress, and thanks for letting me vent a bit.  

Don't forget to get your Fashion Friday posts ready for later this evening.  Have a great Thursday friends!
