Well, After my many days of working out at 6:00 am I am in a routine now and enjoy it. Ok, there are a couple days I am just tired and my body won't do what I want it to do. I just keep plugging away the best i can and not give up and I feel like i have had a good workout. My downfall is I feel I am not getting enough protein during the day, and I need to increase that. I try but sometimes what is in my pantry isn't what I need but days like that I will try to improvise and make something that tends to be a little healthier. I feel like I have improved but I was a little disappointed is last weeks weigh in I stayed the same. So this week I am focusing on pushing myself a little more, getting out to walk more and just watch what I eat. I am really going to have to watch and be sensible in my choices this weekend, my family is going to Des Moines for my daughters softball tournament and those days are tough for me to keep a schedule when I sit at a ball field for 9 games over the weekend. This will be my big test. Have a great Memorial weekend...Pam

Trainer Notes

Pam weighed in at 158.6 this week-- 3.6 lbs lower than last week!! Consistently dropping pounds every week is what is on Pam's list of "things to focus on". She has an energy about workouts like no other! Her focus, drive, and ambition has shown more than ever. Pam and her husband are consistently getting additional cardio in during the evenings. They tend to walk anywhere between 3 and 7 miles each night! Pam is well aware of the benefits regarding accelerated results with extra cardio. Pam could definately focus on more protein and non-processed foods. She tends to reach for hot dogs (non turkey) and processed cheeses. Her water intake helps counteract the food choices, but we were well aware that as summer sports seasons increased in activities, her diet choices may wonder. Our task with Pam in the upcoming weeks is to find quick lunch options that can travel with the family to games and offer good nutritional balance for her as well.
