Feeling bad never felt so good

Just about everywhere aches, but it's good. I'm happy about it. It makes me feel alive and in control. Not that I'm a control freak...uh..ok...yes I am. It's hard for me to let go and listen to Otto at times. I'm not used to a man telling me what to do. I don't mean that in a bad way....I've been through a lot that has made me the person I am today. I work with men all day, for the most part, I call the shots, but then of course I have bosses that like to tell me what to do, as they should. I divorced when my sons were 10 months old and 2 1/2 years old ...they are now 16 and 17. I just remarried in January, so again, I have been in control all that time of my family and everything that I did. So...there is some trust there that I give to Otto. Trust to let my guard down and let him lead me, instead of me being the leader. I think he understand this as he's been hard on me but not overbearing. I appreciate that he sees that and responds to it. The amazing part is that I look in the mirror and I like what I see. I can see the differences in my body and the CHANGE that is happening. All because I let go and let myself trust someone else, and listen, even when I didn't want to.

I started my day with my husband and I hitting the gym at 5 am. I love going with him, it makes him feel better for the rest of the day. He's 9 years older than me, so he's gotta stay in shape to keep up with me. lol I did 30 min of cardio in the morning.

At lunch, I took the opportunity to workout at the gym at work. 40 min on the recumbent bike, I went 16 miles! If you would have asked me to bike 16 miles, I would laugh at you...it was a good challenge for me, I really set the goal at 14 miles, but I had some time left over so I went for it.

Met Otto at 1830 tonight
I did a 20 min warm up on the bike
Tonight we worked the chest with those wonderful active rests...running in place and crunches...

With Wall pushes (which was better than me flopping on the floor trying to do a push up) and running and Abs in between sets)

Then we were done. I pulled the inside of my leg or something. Tomorrow will be just a cardio day...then a weight day on Thursday, arms I think. Friday is Legs...which I am just now able to walk.
