Day 4

                            

So today was interesting. I did my personal training for the first time this morning and it was amazing. She made me do dead lifts, rope pulls, rows, crunches, arm raised sit ups, and squat jacks. before she had me start, I ran up and down this hill twice though. This showed me how out of shape I really was. I did struggle with the ab stuff because of my surgery's of coarse, but she didn't push me, she said I will have to get used to it because now we have to repair my muscles that were damaged and now weak. What I liked about her technique of training was that she didn't push me as far as doing a lot of reps at one time. She timed everything and told me I could slow down if I need to but as long as I didn't stop doing the move I was getting a good workout. I thought that was important because I was so tired after just doing one rep of these moves that I had to keep slowing down toward the end but I never stopped so I still got a good burn out of it. Because of my training today I didn't get to go on my daily walk, but we traveled today to see my family two hours away and my eating was kind of off.

So you are probably looking at my picture thinking, "where is the breakfast? or why is she eating pasta?" So today was awkward, I had no idea what I should eat before a workout because I tend to get sick if I eat anything right before I work out. I went to personal training on an empty stomach and then by the time I came home we were getting ready to leave so I grabbed a banana. When we got to where we were going I was hungry so then I had to search the menu for something that I could have that wasn't too bad for me. We ended up at El Pollo Loco and I saw a 500 calories or less menu and I got a chicken avocado salad off of that and it was amazing. Then when it came to lunch I went to my parents house and they had chicken and fresh veggies so I made that. Then dinner came, oh boy. So while everyone was about to have spaghetti, I was trying to think of something to have. I really wanted just a little pasta, so I cheated today. I literally had 1/2 a cup of pasta and the meet sauce had ground turkey which is lean meat so I said okay, that's some of my protein but just in case I had a small piece of chicken with it and then of coarse more veggies. I will tell you that I am still having the bloating problem every time I eat. I'm not sure if that is just a natural reaction to eating after the gall bladder is removed or not. 

I meant to get you guys a product that helps with stretch marks but I forgot it at home so I will post about it tomorrow for sure. Until tomorrow ladies and gentleman!
