    It was awesome! She really helped...I've been afraid of all the free weights and we did that. I did the kettle balls, which I was so excited about!

    I am having a rather stressful day so far today. My friend, carrielynn62, called me at 5am and let me know her young son-in-law was just rushed to the hospital unable to move or speak. At fist the hospital was thinking it was maybe a stroke or seizure but they have now found out it was a brain anurism (spelling?) and he is fortunate to be alive. He is having a scope go up in his brain right now and I guess we will know more later. That stress and a party with young children surrounding me with sweets. :grumble: I am thankful however that the young man is alive.

    I am determined to still find the joy in this day. It is always there to be found... sometimes you just have to look a bit harder for it. I messed up eating some of the sweets today, but I am not going to use that as an excuse to ruin the entire day. I am way to determined for that!!:smile:

    Do you guys have any Valentines plans for today? :heart: :heart: :heart:

    That's what I wanted out of my personal trainer session. Instead he just showed me some of the machines that I already knew how to do. I am glad that your trainer showed you something new. Over and over again research shows that confusing our bodies is just what we need to get results. Proud of you gal!

    I love the Kettle bells. That is one of my most favorite things! I really want to try one of those ARC trainers you guys keep doing.

    That is some really tough news to get. I hope he pulls through this. I have only known one person, personally, that went through that and she came out ok. :) I will keep her family in my thoughts.

    That is terrible to hear. I'll be thinking of her and her family, what a rough time for them all.

    Carrielynn62's son-in-law is in surgery right now. The surgery is going to last 3 - 6 hours. Carrie has been sleeping at the hospital and hasn't left her daughter's side. I know she must be exhausted.

    I am so happy it is Friday! On the weekends I get more time to exercise and try new recipes.

    I have done o.k. on our weekly challenge so far but I am not making 100%. Yesterday I totally lost track of my food diary/calories. I should be able to hit everything else in the challenge.

    I am excited to have our weekend challenge coming up!!

    Arc trainers are an interesting machine. They are a little like the elliptical but the movement is different. It offers a good burn. Carrielynn62 got kettlebells for a birthday present. It came with a dvd. She absolutely loves it! Is there a gym in your area bokatok that you can try a arc machine to see how you like it?

    I know it feels so odd when we don't workout because we have made that a wonderful habit in our life, but it really is fine to have some rest days in there. :smile: Your legs probably needed some rest to rebuild your muscles since they were still sore from the trainer. I'll bet you will be getting in a workout tomorrow. You are doing fab-u-lous!!
