Another Week of Fitness & Lemon Water :)

I'm so happy there is finally enough snow to snowshoe in!
Even though it kicked me in the butt :) My legs were dying but it's all good. Overall I felt pretty good ~ better than last year thanks to being in the gym the last 3 weeks!
It was so beautiful ~ quiet and peaceful. 


I went to the gym 4 times last week. Monday's workout with my trainer, Ryan, was the hardest one yet. I almost threw up in the shower afterwards. We did 25 minutes of nonstop cardio circuit. Well, almost nonstop. The idea is to keep your heart rate up the whole time. 
I had to really push through some of the sets but I did it. Now I know you truly can feel really good and really horrible at the same time! Good because I finished everything ~ Horrible because my body was hating me.
Now's a good time to say wall squats are the enemy ~ ugh! You put your back on the wall and slide down like you're sitting in a chair. Then you hold that position. Your arms can be anywhere but on your legs.
On a positive note I drank alot of water this week! Yeah :)
Every morning I put the needed amount of water in my pitcher. I read somewhere women need 9 cups a day ~ add 2-3 cups if you do moderate exercise.  Our water is nice and cold out of the tap. I squeeze half a lemon in it and drop the lemon in. I know I need to empty that pitcher by the end of the day. 
It works for me.
I'm noticing a difference in my stomach. Shirts are loser :)
