    I'm back for the weekend. Which is probably a good thing bc hubs has a man cold AKA he's dying :lol: So far so good on getting up at 4am. As long as I have my clothes laid out and food done the night before, I'm good. We'll see how long that lasts lmao

    This weekend I am working a modified shift. Instead of coming in at 11pm and working until 700am, I get to arrive at 2am and work until 10am. Not sure if I am going to like this or not...

    Today I used my last training session out of the 20 I purchased almost 2 years ago. My gym membership ends in less than a week and my new agency has a gym. So I used my session to explain that I had taken almost 1.5yrs off from training and was 76lbs higher and around 15% more body fat from my last session with them (pregnancy, car wreck, meds, laziness). I asked him to use my last session to give me fresh stats and a starting point of where I am. Well today I weighed in 65lbs heavier than when I stopped all that time ago and 12% body fat higher. But I was down 11lbs from when I started eating healthy again a month ago. He ran me through a few exercises to see where I was at. I have essentially lost my back muscles, my upper and center ab muscles, and quite a bit of strength in my upper body. The good news in all of this downfall is that I retained (in his words) "great form" on squats and lunges (my previous trainer made me do those nonstop and emphasized form---im thankful for that) and that I retained a decent lower abdominal and side abdominal range. So while I'm very disappointed in actually seeing how far I've fallen and that ill be starting over worse off than I did before....Im also very thankful and remaining positive that I am starting back and that I did retain a good form on those. Plus ya know....11lbs in a month with only changing some of my eating habits is a pretty nice accomplishment!

    Always have to find the bright side right?!?!?!

    LacednLace - That's pretty dang good to lose that much just changing eating habits. I know the fitness will come back and the weight off as you get back to working out. It took me 15 years to put on 40 lbs and 2 to take 20 of that back off. Working nights has not been kind to my fitness, but since I started this job out in Kalispell, it's a lot easier. We have a fair amount of exercise equipment in the clinic. You'll have to keep us posted on how it goes with the fitness. :smile:
