kick in the ass

so my personal trainer is a bitch. but a nice bitch. i thought ryoko was tough earlier this year, but katty means business. we go from one drill to the next...no breaks. it's 60 minutes of nonstop moving. i'm dripping with sweat and looking like crap by the end of it. seriously, i've never sweated so hard before! the zumba class is going well, too. it's even more intense than the class i took at bonsor. good thing i bought a bunch of $0.49 towels at ikea awhile back...they're sure coming in handy at the gym :)

snfw is the first co-ed gym i've belonged to. i'm definitely too intimidated to hit the weights section during the busy hours...so i'll stick to the ladies only section. but seriously...there are people of all shapes and sizes at the gym...i don't feel like i need to impress anyone or look good when i go there. and it's such a large gym that there's always a cardio machine available to use.

i recently bought 2 new cookbooks to liven up our meals...the complete canadian living cookbook, and the biggest loser family bookbook. the latter was an impulse buy...i was with gabe, he was having a tantrum, and i just wanted a new cookbook...i meant to return it, but the 2 week return policy came and went, so i'm stuck with it now. oh well, i'm sure there's a few recipes that'll come in handy.

i've been doing some reading online about vices, and how cutting just one vice is a step in the right direction towards weight loss. so my plan was to cut out coffee and sugary drinks starting today. so to kick it off, i had a tall latte with breakfast and then an oreo ice cream sandwich for snack. GREAT START! tomorrow's a brand new day, right?
