I think I sweat more during one of his "work outs" than I did in all of my combined efforts when I went this alone. (well, almost).
I work with Bo for both healthy eating and physical fitness. One of the takeaways I took from him last week was "its 80- 20" . Meaning what matters is 80% what you eat and 20% how you exercise. This was a hard stat for me to grasp, I checked the validity of such a finding with my daughter who is also my personal nutrition expert and she confirmed. To me that is boggling. It is a real eye opener.
One of the things I do for Bo is track food, which I am used to doing. However it now takes a whole new meaning on. This past weekend was a brutal food one for me. The GIANTS v PADRES game, nothing beats a ball park polish chased with ice cold barley. Then there was the early Softball game my youngest had, which was cause for Mc Ds sausage mcmuffin chased with a Mikes hard lemonade. Well, ok honestly it was a Mikes Harder lemonade!-- As I indulged I knew this was not part of Bo's game plan. But for me, it was what it was. No excuses, I could have lied. Had I lied to him he wouldn't have known. But I would know. And thats what this process is about, me.
Today was a fun work out. Though from my reaction Bo was probably thinking I was thinking otherwise! I faced things that yes, they have been done on The Biggest Loser and Extreme Make Over--and yes I thought, no I knew I could do them. When its a thought, I know I can do it, when it became a reality I had some fear. Or I should say I had fear. I actually only feared stepping up on the crate because I thought I would fall, and I had some doubts as to my ability to do some of the things, oh I also feared puking. That was probably the biggest fear of all today!--- I didn't fall, I did the things, and I didn't puke! What I also struggled with was how the hour session with Bo seemed to last an eternity, yet when I returned home to some AC and Pandora an hour elapsed in what seemed like a blink of the eye! --
I will miss my training next Tuesday, because I will be out of town. Bo reminds me to get some exercise in and eat wisely. I told him I would be meeting up with several different friends, so I will be pretty physical and I assured him I would be on a liquid diet, because after all its the GIANTS v the PADRES at ATT! right now I'm thinking I can forego the polish from ATT because the last one from Petco was a real let down. The ball park beer on the other hand? yummmmm I guess its a good thing its the last game of the season!
