Friday workout and my weekend away!

I met Paul at the gym at 10 am Friday morning, to get my work out in before we left town. Paul was not going to let me leave without making me work! I started off warming up on the elliptical and felt pretty good. my legs were still killing me, but I had learned to cope at this point! We then went down to the middle of the gym...I felt me stomach turn when I heard the L word come from his lips... LUNGES. I told Paul that he was such a jokester, he assured me that he was not joking, we were in fact doing lunges. I refreshed his memory of the disaster that was me on Monday attempting lunges. He giggled and told me he remembered! My legs trembling, I began to attempt my nightmare. I ended up doing three sets of 12 down and back! Wahoo! I then finished 3 more sets of side lunges. Don't let the name fool you...a lunge is a lunge and it is not pretty. After my second lunge experience he continued to work me to death! I did knee raises, ran up and down the stairs 9 times, and more. It was a great work out. I was exhausted. One week down......

We left shortly after I got home from my workout for Louisiana. Ryan's dad got married on Saturday and we were excited about our weekend getaway! After the long almost 5 hour trip there, we finally reached our hotel around 7. We checked in, went downstairs to eat dinner and then off to the casino. I lost everything I touched, my beginners luck streak is definitely over! The next morning we woke up, ate a healthy breakfast and then headed to the gym for some cardio. Thats right.....went to the gym on my vacation!!!! Mark that one down in the record books, because I know that was a first for me. It felt good, and Ryan was proud of me too, which made me beam. The wedding was enjoyable and the weekend was wonderful. It was a much needed vacation. We arrived back home yesterday afternoon and reconnected with Charlie who we dearly missed, but thank Mimi soooo much for keeping him!

Back to reality tomorrow.....work out with Paul at 5.
