Pain, Pain and More Pain!!!

Ok, can I tell you how much pain I am in! My upper body has not hurt so bad in well, forever. Yesterday, it was not so bad...a bit of a twinge here or there, but last night when I went to bed, I started to feel the pain develope. Through out the night it got worse and this morning when I woke up, well the full wrath of my personal trainer came forth. I had the worse time putting on my shirt, and well lifting things, it is just out of the question. You all should have seen me trying to do my hair. Putting my hair up in a ponytail became such a chore. I could feel my dogs looking at me laughing. I have to constantly stretch out my upper body when it feels like it is tightening up because it hurts worse when I get tight. Me and a hot shower have been very good friends...one at night and one in the morning. My night time shower is followed by a heating pad for moist heat. That usually feels SO good! I am sure tonight will be more torture followed by pain because I am meeting up with Stacey, my trainer. She is very, very sweet, very supportive and totally understands what I want from the sessions and understands how my job may interfer sometimes with my sessions, but she said that she will work around those issues and help me acheive all my goals. She mentioned that she likes how I had many small goals and adequate time frames to reach those goals. I was not making goals that were outrageous. I was glad to hear that. She did say that with each goal I hit, I have to understand that the next goal will be harder to reach...because the more weight I lose, it is more likely that I will start hitting plataus and there will be times that I will feel discouraged, but she will be there to change things up and push me through those times. She was glad to hear that I am constantly writing everything that I eat down and holding myself accountable, but also glad to hear that I am not depriving myself of anything and that includes my favorite foods. I was telling her about how I was taking some of my favorite foods and revamping them so that they are healtier and better for me and yet the taste is still there to enjoy! I am so happy with things right now, pain and all and I hope that I will be reaching my first goal in the next few weeks. I will keep you all posted and let you know how it goes. I am trying to figure out how to put a goal keeper on the side of this blog and once I figure it out, I will update my blog to include it. If anyone has any ideas, please feel free to let me know.

This weekend is Easter and I hope everyone has a great weekend. Until next time, Toodles!
