answer : trainers get paid to hurt people, sadist do it for free.
ha ha, I told that to my trainer today and earned another 10 minutes at cardio blast! They are awesome though.
So today is the end of day 2. And its weird. Cause on one hand I hurt and am very sore. My aches and pains have aches and pains. But on the other I am finding that I have more energy that I thought. Probably has a lot to do with what and how we are eating. I surprised myself today. We did a thing called cardio meltdown. Yikes. Basically you do 10 minutes on a bike, elliptical and treadmill, and every 2 minutes you increase speed and incline. Then you switch machines every 10 minutes. I thought there was no way that I was going to be able to finish. It was the most intense cardio workout I have ever done. We did a total of 60 minutes and not only did I finish, but I didnt have to stop once! I almost fell down when I was done, but I finished it. That was a win for me.
We did 4 different workouts today from cardio to weight training to hikiing. For a total workout time of 5 hours and 45 mintes. It was nuts. But heres the weird part. I am finding that I recover faster than I thought I would. And I feel very tired and sore at the end of the day, but I also feel fantastic. I am changing my life and tht feels freakin aweosme! We were Polar heart monitors all day that track our heart rate and calories burned. Today I burned about 5000 calories! That's nuts!
God has definitely shown me that he led me to the right spot. The people here are amazing. My trainer said that i did such a great job today that I deserved a massage. It was great because my neck and back muscles were on fire. I got an awesome massage by the head massage guy for the Utah Jazz. It was very good.
Tomorrow I meet with a flexibility trainer. Which means they are going to bend me and twist me like a pretzel to increase my flexibility.
I'm pooped. Going to take a nice hot shower and fall in bed.
I want to thank you all for praying for me. I can really feel all your guys prayers. There have been times when my body is shutting down and is just screaming. Thats when I can feel the prayers. God is really seeing me through this.
You guys are awesome. Thanks for the encouragement!
see ya, ken

You're encouraging us...it's so awesome to hear how you are doing and how much of God you're seeing and feeling in all of this.
ReplyDeleteIn Basic Christian Doctrine today, the devo was about to become the bread that's broken and the wine that's poured out, we need to be crushed first...and God chooses what fingers and thumb will be used to crush us to so we can be used for the many. We can't be like marbles and shoot out between the fingers, nor can we be crushed when we are not ripe as the wine would be bitter...in the right time and with the right fingers and thumb (sometimes of someone we think is our enemy), we be smashed and our true purpose comes through. You can't drink a grape.
So yeah, it seems like God is squeezing you and the wine is more awesome than the grape was (not that the grape was all that bad to begin with)...thanks for sharing your journey!
I am laughing out loud while reading these...I miss you and am so envious that you are getting to have this awesome experience on your own, when I KNOW that we could've won together on the real show:-) Seriously, no one would have ever seen us coming...
