So I had this whole plan to write a loving tribute to the fabulous Mothers in my life and then POOF! My life exploded, I was late for church, I had to prepare dinner for my in-laws and all of a sudden the day was gone. So I didn’t. Mom’s I love you thanks for all you do. There. Tribute sucks, but it’s done.

Those of you waiting with baited breath for my next trainer update will be happy to know that after completing the back workout on Thursday and the KILLER leg workout on Friday, I was unable to bend at the waist or the knees all weekend. And I thought I missed the use of my arms!

Despite my handicap, I was delighted to start eating pasta, sugar and dairy again, if only for the weekend. I ran as fast as I could on Friday night to The Olive Garden to get all three in as much as I could in one meal. Much to my chagrin, I was only able to eat one breadstick, half a bowl of Minestrone soup and about four bites of my delicious Baked Ziti. This continued for the rest of the weekend. I could only eat half my mashed potatoes, a few small bites of pizza and I felt absolutely disgusting after eating one Ooey Gooey Cupcake. WHO AM I AND WHERE HAVE THEY TAKEN MY SOUL???

I’m back on the diet wagon and today I have only had an apple and two boiled egg whites. Mmmmm tasty. I bet you’re jealous. Tonight we start the workout all over again with shoulders and chest. If I haven’t mentioned before that my shoulders are the wussiest part of my body, let me just admit that now and admit I’m dreading tonight. I’m also dreading what the trainer calls “Ataris” for my abs. I can’t find a link to explain it but I’m pretty sure the Chinese used it as a form of torture in the middle ages. All I can ask is that you all pray for me to have the strength to endure my trials. My self inflicted, not exactly cheap, good for my body trials.

I guess now that I say it that way I take it back. I’ll report back tomorrow.

If I live that long . . .
