Working Out

I'm still getting to the gym several times a week and doing well with my workouts.  I obviously missed workouts while Mark and I were away, and I missed a few last week because life can get busy.  The trainers at the gym give you a hard time if you miss one day, let alone one week.  It seems as if they really expect you to be there every day for hours on end.  Today I finally explained to them that I have 2 young daughters at home, its a 45 min car ride to get to the gym, and that I am working out at home even on days that I don't get to the gym.  They weren't buying it.  But at least I feel good about what I've been doing lately. 

The weight loss competition ends in about 2 weeks, and I'm sure I wont be winning the grand prize.  But that's not the point, is it?!?!  I can see that I'm losing weight, and I definitely feel better.  That's the best prize of all.  It's definitely frustrating to be putting so much effort in and not seeing instant results.  The joys of getting older.  (That might also explain the batch of chocolate chip cookies that were baked over the weekend.)   I'll continue to do my workouts even after the program is complete and will continue to feel good about what I'm accomplishing.
