Okay, as beginnings go, this is just too funny. Not only did I fall flat on my butt, but I ended up puking before the end of our first session! (At least it was puking in the bathroom and not on him, but still quite embarrassing!) So, it’s been a pretty funny but embarrassing experience for me so far.
I will give Tye credit though, he worked me hard today! I don’t think my heart rate has been up that high in a long time. He is definitely worth the money…he’s pushing me beyond what I believe to be physically capable. And he makes me laugh! I swear, if I was younger and single, I would be all over him like white on rice 
But I am desperately in love with my hubby, so I shall just flirt and drool!! LOL!
So, I decided to have some protein before my training session. I opted for this energy mix by Planters because it worked within my carb range and had protein. I ate it an hour before my workout. Well, apparently Tye pushed me hard enough that it decided to make an appearance! Luckily, I have been a good student of my body and was starting to feel a little queasy at first, so I took a walk around the gym and did my last exercise in that set. Afterwards, I felt lightheaded, so I sat down for a minute. Then, I felt lightheaded and queasy and then I knew it I was going to pass out or puke. Puke seemed more likely. So, Tye walked me to the restroom and said either way we were done for the day because he didn’t want to push me too much further since I was not feeling well.
So, I make it to the sinks in the bathroom and then proceeded to vomit…just once. And I instantly felt better! I cleaned up the area and went back out. I debated whether or not to tell him, but I figured he needed to know. So, I said I am fine. He asked if I was feeling better and I said, yep, I puked! We laughed and sat down and talked for awhile.
It looks like we will be making more changes to my diet. I admit I don’t like this. I have already given up a ton of food and the idea of giving up other favorites makes me nervous. But I can and will do this. If I seriously want to achieve my goals, then I have to. So, it’s a done deal…my nutrition will be changing a bit!
And he laughed at me because I told him that I had to be at the gym at least 5 days (sometimes 6) a week. I refuse to give up my morning routine of getting up and getting exercise. For example, I went in this morning and did an hour on the treadmill and a 30-minute class for legs. Then I went back for my appt. at 3 with Tye. I need my morning exercise…it gets me going. So, I think we found a compromise…circuit training 2 days a week, 2 Zumba classes a week, 2 sessions with Tye a week, and some cardio if I have to (Which I probably will!) It all depends on how I am feeling. That is the key. I have to be feeling okay to do that much. Since I am a good judge of my body, I will figure it out! Besides I just started to get to the point where I don’t hate exercise, so I don’t want to make excuses or take time off.
Here’s my concern right now…my blood sugar. I did not test before my workout. This is an error, we will start doing that before each training session. About 1/2 hour afterwards though, my blood sugar was 151! It has not been that high since I was diagnosed…I have been super careful! So, either the puking or the intense workout raised it. I will find out Friday which it was. But I need to be careful.
Anyways, I love my trainer and I totally see us being friends for life after this journey. He’s a great guy and he is so going to get me where I need to be. He knows I don’t accept excuses and he doesn’t let me dish them out. He pushes me much harder than I push myself and he is going to get results! He told me he is going to have me jogging…I reminded him that I don’t run and he said with a twinkle in his eye, “You will for me ” He’s so cute, I am sure I will, just to impress him!
My hubby is super-excited about all this too. He’s so supportive and just plain awesome! I am blessed to have such a great support system.
