Hey Everyone. Well another week of working out is over. And I am kind of happy with that. I always look forward to my weekends where I don't have to wake up at 5:45 and get to the gym for 6:00 am.

It was nice this morning though, because again I can see and feel my body getting so much stronger then when i started. And as I was finishing my exercises one by one, when putting back the weight pieces in their proper places, I thought to myself, wow, I've done it! Rob(my trainer) will be back this Sunday, and who knows what the next stage will be like. Not sure if I will even be using these same weights, because I may be doing a whole new range of different exercises! It was a great feeling though. I cant wait to see him, so that he can see how far I have come. When i first started, there was this one exercise called a bridge, where I have to lie on the ground and lift my whole body up, and hold, and down,,,and up etc...I had to do 15 reps, 3 sets, and believe me, that was tough!! But today, even for that exercise, I went though it like a breeze, well not breeze but it was so easier to do compared to when starting out.
Squats I still have a hard time with. They are so hard! but everything else was perfect. My arms are so much stronger, my posture is better, even when just standing as you can see from my photos...if you look at them see how i am standing so much straighter.

Oh well, this is it for today and for the week. After taking pics of myself on Monday I have to say I almost don't even feel like weighing myself anymore, Pictures say it all. And i look forward to my next set, on the 11th of next month(January).

A funny story I have to tell not related to working out, but this morning after returning from the gym, I always get my daughter ready for school and drive her. In the school yard, I just watched her play for a few minutes before the bell rang, just admiring her, and thinking wow..cant believe that I made this little girl.lol
Sometimes as parents we get so busy that we don't think much about that, but I am sure everyone at one time or another that hits you, that thought like wow, where has the time gone.

Anyways, once the bell rang she came over and I gave her her nap sack,and kissed her twice and told her that I loved her. And this one boy, so much bigger than her (my daughter is a younger one in her class) said to her...goo goo ga ga..I suppose meaning baby, well no joke...my daughter said heyyyyyy! and socked him one...i was like OH MY GOD!!! I couldn't believe it . I said to her...we don't hit our friends, and she was like...WELL HE WAS RUDE!!!! I couldn't help but laugh..i thought ...good girl...even though she is a little thing, she sticks up for herself.lol
But I have never seen that side of her before. I remember when my daughter was going to daycare and just before leaving before starting school, i said to her teacher I was a little nervous, being that she was starting school younger than the rest due to when her birthday is, and she told me then...oh she will be fine, really she makes her friends so easy, and sticks up well for herself when faced with a conflict...and I got to see that this morning. That was so funny.

Well hope everyone has a great weekend! I am so ready for my debut on television this coming Tuesday, hope i do well...and hope everyone local will be tuning in!
Take Care!!
