Wow, can’t tell you how hard today really was for me to go work out. I’ve been doing some cardio this week, but since I had a sick child Tuesday and yesterday I had meetings all day long from 7:30 AM until 5:00 PM, I couldn’t work out with my trainer; until today.

I can tell I haven’t been put through the ringer all week like she does for me because I felt so out of synch training today. I mean, I did it and I can tell I worked, but I was definitely not in a flow today.

Trainer K worked me today, concentrating on my core. Another round of intense crunches and twists - all kickboxing basics, really using my stomach, back, and waist. She showed me how she wanted each to flow into the other and that was that.

For a while the burn was so intense, I had to take a beak. I knew if I kept going I would have puked. I caught my breath, took a few more deep ones, and then right back at it.

I don’t feel to terrible after, and actually feel pretty good. Yes, I’m tired and would love a nap and I think that is just exhaustion from having no intense anything to jumping full throttle into it today.

Next week I measure. YEAH!
