I have now been at this training for one week and have so many ideas and thoughts about this experience running around my brain, I thought I should put them on paper. Here’s my version of paper and of Late Night’s Top 10 List.

10. I constantly have to re-adjust my posture while working.

9. The produce department at Wegmans actually made me salivate the other day. (They also have a kickin’ selection of gluten-free foods.)

8. You don’t have to feel totally debilitated the next day to have had a good workout.

7. I stopped craving sweets 3 days ago.

6. I am extremely uncoordinated so I am having trouble getting the moves down when I am in class. The one-on-one sessions are helping me catch up and my trainer, John Bolesta assures me that I will become better coordinated as I progress.

5. The women in my 8 a.m. class at Saucon Valley Country Club have been very welcoming and supportive. Thanks, Ladies. I appreciate it!

4. I forgot how much I enjoy fresh-cooked beets.

3. My current flexibility is extremely poor. When stretching I can only bend to touch my mid-calf. The goal, of course, will be to touch my toes by the end of 10 weeks.

2. This “program” I am on now never ends. I will need to accept this as a lifestyle change in order to maintain my results.

And my Number One Revelation for the Week of August 9, 2010 is………………

1. At one point last week I thought that I might have to miss a workout and it totally rattled me. Imagine that.

Looking Ahead to Week 2: This week we’ll continue to refine my diet. Lots of healthy whole foods and I hope to get recipes to share. To be continued…
