The Joy and the Pain

I feel so friggin’ good right now! My arms are shaking and I’m weak all over, but I feel great! Earlier today I lied to my trainer and made some excuse why I couldn’t make our appointment. He said he could fit me in later in the evening (and I had run out of excuses) so I showed up. Before I went I was so fatigued I could barely keep my eyes open. Now the endorphins are flowing and I feel fantastic! This is why I hired a trainer. If it had been up to me I would have stayed home to veg out…probably would’ve eaten a bunch of crap, too, since I would have been bored. But he kept my mind and body occupied.

I know that personal trainers aren’t for everyone, but I would recommend that everyone at least try it…especially if you are lacking motivation. They work you through plateaus and help you maintain enthusiasm. I’ll also be seeing a nutritionist next month. I’ve talked about the Dr. Ornish diet recently and I plan to stick to that. But I want to know if there are certain foods that have an affect on hypothyroidism…along with a few other things. So I’m trying to get my motivation level back up. I need to make my diet more of a focus here. Feel free to slap me around if you notice none of my entries revolve around diet…I’ll probably be avoiding it for a reason! J
