Wednesdays= wild workouts

Wednesdays are the days when I work out the most. I guess I set it up that way so that it keeps me motivated during the middle of the week. This morning at 4:00, I ran for 30 minutes on the treadmill and did 20 more minutes of an inclined walk that's supposed to exercise your glutes. Then at 12:30 or so, I completed level 3 of Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred, and then her Yoga Meltdown video. I usually only do one video, but I like to incorporate her yoga because it gives a good stretch after 20 minutes of the 'Shred'. It equates to ~2 hours of exercise.

Needless to say, I'm exhausted.

Tomorrow I start with my new personal trainer. I'm excited and nervous at the same time, but so is he. I apparently intimidate him a little because I actually like working out and expect to be pushed. I'll let you know how it goes, but I'm sure the experience will be enjoyable.

My diet was successful today as well! YAY! :) There was a going away party at the gym for my previous trainer, and I brought my pre-made pasta salad instead of eating the provided refreshments. I hope I wasn't seen as being unsociable, I just know that I need to be careful with the amount of calories I eat, and I didn't want to risk overeating towards the end of the day. Any of you ever done anything like that?

Random question: What are your thoughts on coffee? I've heard it's wonderful for boosting your metabolism, so I don't mind indulging in a few cups a day. Any thoughts?

Happy Wednesday!
