I've finished my first week back to work and sorry to say, it feels like I never left. Sydney seems farther away than its physical thousands of miles distance.
To keep my mind off my homesickness for Australia, I've decided to make some changes...in me (at least to start).
I don't want to use "turning 40" as an excuse to let my shape go to hell, so I've joined a gym. I know what you're thinking...another waste of money because I'll never go. I was thinking that too (I know how lazy I am), so I threw down even MORE $$$ and hired a personal trainer to kick my a*$# for six whole sessions.
I wasn't sure what to write about today, but when I crawled out of bed to butt cramps and stiff legs, I had my theme. Yes, I suffered through my first training session yesterday. I must be terribly out of shape because we only did ONE SET of each exercise and here I am, walking like a retired linebacker!
I have two appointments with my trainer this week and for motivation, I've tried to challenge Firecracker to a fitness competition. Since we will be going to the Cubs spring training in early March (and celebrating her birthday there), I thought it would be a good goal to be in shape to sit in the sun and watch baseball.
So far, she's refused my challenge. If any of you read her blog, guilt her into it. It will be good for both of us, I'm sure.
Wish me luck!!

Although I highly recommend the all avocado/pringles/chocolate chip cookie diet, I don't think you need to lose a single ounce! You're perfect as is!
