5th week

I have to admit that after an awful 4th week, I finally had a great week.  It started with a workout with Javier.  Boy did he make me pay for not training with him the week before...but it felt painfully good.  I went to my doctor on Tuesday and he was very happy to see I had lost 20 pounds since I saw him last in August.  So when Wednesday came to work out with Mark, I was looking forward to see what his scale and measurements had to say.  I was thrilled to find out, I had lost 10 pounds since I started to work out.  I also lost an inch in all my measurements except my waist.  I know it is not much in a month.  But with all my ups and downs this month, I was super happy.  It gave brought back that confidence I so desperately needed this week.  It meant that I had lost a total of 33 pounds since I decided to do something about my weight back in the summer.  I know I need to track only since I started the gym...but I felt I had to share this information also.  On Wednesday, I thought I would work out by myself, but Mark had something else on the agenda.  I did my usual routine, then found Mark to get my measurements.  I thought I would just row for another 3-4 minutes, but Mark made me workout for another 20 minutes.  I actually worked for almost an hour for the first time.  I was struggling and came home dead tired, but felt very good.  On Friday, I actually exercised alone and felt good that I didn't decide to skip it.  I woke up with lots of energy today...could it be the confidence boost I received this week?
