Push it... Harder!

So this week I kicked it up, HARD! I was really angry on Monday, frustrated with things in my life, so I decided I needed to do something. My workout was lack luster. I didn't feel any release at all. All I felt was pent up anger and extreme sadness. So when I was at Meijer I sought out someone I knew from Anytime Fitness. I think assaulted is the best way to describe it, but he said it was alright. So two days later when Becky and I got to the gym Hank was there with a work out plan. He was helping two other women and that day his little group grew bigger. In the end he had 5 of us.

From the moment I joined him I have hurt! But its so good. He pushes us. He's not an in your face kind of trainer. He's a teacher. I noticed we don't really complain and when we do he smiles and says come on. He'll double up on ya, sit there to long, complain to much and the next thing you know your set of ten is 20. He works out with us too. Shows us how it is done, corrects us when we are wrong and encourages us. The first day we did legs. That was Thursday. I am still feeling it

Hank is great because he knows about my shoulder and he modifies things for me, but he still makes me work for it. Today is his "off" day, so he wont be there, but I will be there doing my cardio. I kind of slacked this week on cardio. I only did about 1.5 miles a day. And no bike. I usually bring it on the bike. But my thighs have been killing me and I can barely sit. So biking doesn't sound appealing. Oh maybe I will take Tators to Strobel Pond. That is a 1.5 mile loop. She needs the exercise too.

Lex has been kickin ass on her bike. Since I extended her boundaries she has been a riding fool. I am really happy about that. There is something about the freedom of riding a bike.

Oh, my friend Jill she has a new blog! Check it out Jilly Eats. And as always My Fitnesspal. 

~~~~~CANCUN~~~~~

OH MY GOSH!!! We have 38.5 miles left til Cancun! Can you believe it?! Holy Crackers Batman!!!! So now it is time to plan the fiesta and pick a new destination. I think I am going to leave it up to everyone. I have a few ideas. So if you want to vote. We can keep going south and head for Rio, Buenos Aires Or Lima. Or we can head over seas and visit Ireland and make our way across Europe. So many exciting adventures. Now if I could only go there for real.

Well I think it is time for a quick prayer and then I am on my way.

Dear God, Thank You for today. Thank You for my achy legs and my tired feet. Thank You for the people in my life who push me to succeed. Thank You for the beautiful weather. Thank You for loving me. God please be with my Grandma Kelly. I love her so much. In your name we pray. Amen
