Day 10 - Personal Training Day

Today, I woke up bright and early so that I would make sure I had a very good breakfast for my work out with Angelica. I had fat free yogurt, a banana, V8 Fusion Juice, and a turkey and cheese sandwich with fat free mayo. I came to the gym and did some cardio on the ellipticals, and afterwards I thought I had my training at 9am, but it was 10am, so I did some more cardio and I went to the stationary bikes. I had some more time, so I also sat in the Sauna for just a little bit, and then started my training session.

So the training went very well, I got to go on the bench press today, which made me so excited. Unfortunately, I couldn't do the leg press because my knees just kept bothering me and popping. There has to be some way to strengthen my legs. I want to get buns of steel!

During the work out, there were two very strange men, who were rather large and muscular using the famous [Shake Weight]. It was hilarious. All I could hear while I was working out was *squeak squeak squeak squeak*, but according to Angelica, it's harder than it seems and does provide a good work out.

After almost 40-45 minutes into my workout, I started to get fatigued. Angelica got me a 50g protein shake which helped reboost my energy. She recommended that I go to My Fit Foods to get something to eat after the work out along with that protein shake I just had. After that great work out [and as I am typing, my arms feel like Jell-o] I went to My Fit Foods and try one of their meals out. I got a Chicken Spinach Wrap [320 Calories, 7g of Fat, and 16g of Protein] It was actually quite good! There was also some fresh fruit in the box too, and it was very affordable [$3.75] and I was quite satisfied!

Now, I am off to work, and then I'm going to go to the store so that I can purchase a basketball. After doing cardio this morning, I saw a couple of guys play basketball, and it brought back some high school memories of streetball in the neighborhood.

One last thing that really motivated me today was a Success Story that Angelica helped someone. 18 year old guy was 26% body fat [like me right now] got him down to 12% body fat. That's amazing! It really helped add fuel to my work out, and wanting to accomplish my own goals.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
