Brenda = Jillian the Second

Well, going in to work out with Brenda this morning, I had NO IDEA what to expect! She surprises me every time I come in now!

So I started out just warming up, she was still working with her other client. So I was warming up on the treadmill. She came up, turned off the treadmill, and we went back to do weights. Now, usually, if I needed to take a few seconds (ok, minutes... wah wah wah) we would just pick up where I left off. Um... I would like to point out that I rested once for like 2 seconds, and she said "Well, now you have to do 5 more!" WHAT?! This is it, ladies and gentlemen, Brenda has officially transformed into Jillian Michaels... with a big old smile on her face! AHHHHHHH!

So when we finished with weight training, she took me upstairs to do our boxing.... wait... let's call it pain and torture! I was so proud of myself in the end. I would do like 1 minute straight of drills, then 2 minutes, and then, she told me 2 minutes, but I actually wound up doing 3 minutes and 15 seconds! Again, let me repeat, CRAZY PERSON! But I did it, nonstop, and I was so excited! I do believe at one point, I laid down on the ground to cool off, and I literally said "Brenda, you're beating the shit out of me today!"

We were both excited to see how many calories I burned during this workout, so when I got home I plugged in my bodybugg, and I burned 850 calories! YAY! It was amazing!

As you can tell, I'm unusually positive today! Probably because I measured my waist this morning and I have lost 2 inches! Again, YAAAAAAAAY! I'm feeling good, and I'm super peppy! Love it! I love feeling good!
