Whoop Whoop!
Yeah!!!!! As many of you know I joined the gym a couple of weeks ago. With the weigh in fastly approching, I have really stepped up my game this week. All in all, I've ran 27 miles this week! That's right I said 27 MILES! I'm super proud of myself for that. Who would have ever guessed I could do that? Don't get me wrong, I still hate working out. I haven't became one of those crazy people that live to sweat. It's probably my least favorite thing next to birds ( OOOOO.......Birds are scary....) but after I got on the scale this morning it made it all worth it. This week I lost.......Wait for it.............6 Lbs! Yep, 6Lbs! I am offically under 200! I'm on my way to my goal of 155. Only 44.5 Lbs left. That seems so doable considering I've already lost 53 Lbs. I know everyone is probably tired of hearing about this weight lose thing but to bad! I'm going to boast till the cows come home because I've worked really hard and I've been so hungry since January that I could eat the ass end out of a skunk! Well, I guess I'll go and see if I can find some sexy new clothes online....I wanna look banging at the weigh in when I win all that money. Eat you heart out Smith family!

The Trainer From Hell
With the upcoming Biggest Loser Weigh In, my 10 year high school reunion and The Thanksgiving weigh in (that's right TJ, I haven't forgotten!) I decided to join a gym because I seem to have hit a plateau. When you sign up, they offer you some free training sessions. I thought that was awesome! I was so excited and looked forward to jump starting my weight loss again. The day finally arrived and I was so pumped! I got up and did my hair, put my makeup on and donned my cutest workout clothes. My trainers name was .......Was?.......Well I can't remember because after she was done with me I was surprised I could remember my own name. We started out talking about my goals and all that jazz. She asked me what I needed in a trainer and I said I needed a Jillian. (For those of you who live under a rock, Jillian is a trainer on The hit NBC show THE BIGGEST LOSER. She is extremely tough and pushes people past their comfort zones by screaming at them and telling them that their excuses aren't going to get them off the hook.) After telling my trainer this is what I needed out of her, She asked me another. The next question scared me a little. " How religious are you." I seriously didn't know what to say.Was she going to turn into the devil or a satanic demon? I guess I was looking at her like she was crazy because she instantly said, "I just need to know if profanity bothers you" That was a huge relief, I cuss like a sailor, so i said oh course not. So here we go, I'm PUMPED!, LETS DO THIS! Do you know what she had me do first? Guess!..........I know what you're thinking. Something easy for a beginner, right? WRONG! One-handed push ups! Me! Joanna Marie Smith! One handed push ups!?! I thought she was crazy. I looked at her and said "You've got to be kidding." And she said.......And she screamed" GET YOUR ASS DOWN THERE AND GIVE ME 25 NOWWWWWW!!!" My first reaction was to cry, my second was to bitch slap her, and finally the rational third reaction was that she was doing what I asked so I should just do it. Well, I finally finished the boot camp push ups, believe it or not, and I thought to myself how awesome am I. I actually did it!.............................. I believe if you're on your way into Hell, There is a glimmer of hope that you might get out, and then they poke you with a red hot poker. That is what happened to me. I was super proud of myself and than she laid into me like Satan! Weight lifting, more push ups, butterflies, rowing, crazy floor crunches with an exercise ball between my legs, cardio. cardio. And more stinking cardio! I really did think I was going to die( I know I've said that a lot in my life time but this time I mean It!) I am so sore today that I can barley walk and I can't lift my arms past my stomach. I just keep telling my self it will be worth it to be skinny and feel better. But today I'm really debating if being fat is so bad! My next session is on Tuesday, if I can walk by then. I know it will get easier one of these days and if it doesn't I might need some help in killing Satan but all in all it wasn't that bad . ( I have to say that just in case she's watching.......I'm scared...)
So the moral of the story boys and girls, Is never ask a no name trainer to pretend she is the meanest trainer alive, even if you think it will help you. Because the truth is The trainer has probably wanted to yell at every client they've had all day and if you give them permission to yell at you, they will make you do your work and all the other clients work too!
Love Ya, Jo-n-Jo
