Wow, Im sooo tired this morning  Ive got a nice matching set of luggage under my eyes today. Plus Im really sore. The trainer really haded me my ass too, so Im hurtin.

Good news though...I lost 2 pounds this week!!! YES!! So, lost that strange 5 pounds and lost 2 new ones this week. DAMN, what a fight Im in, Im beating, sweating and killing it for every single pound.

Eats for today:

Quest Bar...damn hungry today
Coffee w/ cream
Greek yogurt w/ PB2
I have to get out and pick up lunch today. Its sunny and headed to 80 degrees. Supposed to rain all weekend.
Uhh, dinner is up in the air as well...

Looking forward to going home and laying my lazy butt on the couch and watching movies tonight. Have a great weekend everyone!

Yay on the 2 pounds and yay on laying on the couch tonight!  You have a great weekend too! 

Two pounds, fantastic!  I'm really impressed with your workouts, too.

THANKS!!

The workouts are really tough. Ive been working out steadily since Christmas, but being with the trainer, I feel so out of shape. She reassures me though, that its just the change in workout...that no normal person will be in the gym and start doing jumping jacks, burpees or mountain climbers! 

Shes really giving me some beatings! LOL I like it though. Im planning on signing up for my first 5k very soon. YIKES!! May 19th. She says I'll be ready...

She's right, you WILL be ready.  I've never run a 5K but I walked a couple and really enjoyed the experience.  I have never heard of a burpee!

Thanks! Im hoping so.

This is a burpee:

Good morning Botts:

I have a follow up with my Doctor here in NYC to discuss what's up with my blood pressure going up while I am sleeping.  My overall soduim for the day is right around a thousand, but something is causing me to be un-balance.

Low calcium and magnesium may cause increase in BP Not sure if you have that tested.
Also - bad timing on hormonal response - adrenals. And lets not forget sleep apnea.
Good luck.. hope your doc can find out what is casue that.

You know you maybe on to something.  I haven't had my levels tested in a while (year or more) and I am only on Vitamin D and I can not take a Multi Vitamin because of the Vitamin K would affect my couadin/warfarin levels.

-Thanks!
