Week 3 and Gaining

So tomorrow is my 3rd training session w/ my trainer and I have been gaining weight steadily. 😒 I haven't been eating anymore food but I haven't been eating less either. I think part of the blame goes to the amount of regular pop I started drinking since going off I diet pop & chocolate. This is the first week thy I've done more exercise than just my training session. So I ha my session on Monday & then I went back in on Friday & did it again, then we went for our first family bike ride of the season on Saturday. We did 12 miles so that was a vast improvement from my first bike ride last year. I am sure some I the lunges & leg presses helped w/ that. Then today we went for a walk/hike to explore this park by our house. I was in my skirt still from
church. So this was not planned or expected but it did make me sweat & get a bit winded. Needless to say w/ all the extra leg work this weekend I am not looking forward to the gym tomorrow. I took a look at the measurements he took on our first day of training & that are not good. My chest & stomach (aka around largest part of books & at belly button) are the SAME!! I am like a tree! If I am remembering the number right it was 45inches. 45 INCHES 8-0 I am only 59 inches tall! So back to the blog title about the Hippo, remember hippos are as wide as they are long, so I am only 14 inches from that. NOT GOOD!!!

However, even in light of all this I am feeling positive about this week. Got some fruit & salad for work tomorrow. And I am still working through thinks w/ God and I can do ALL things through Him. He is Risen, Happy Easter!!!
