If Success is just showing up then I've got it goin' on

Just back from not sure what session of personal training, but we obsessively did 2 sessions on the weekend. So pats on the back to us.

I was discouraged to note I have put on 3kgs - it better be muscle I tells ya!

I weighed less when I did no exercise? Surely muscle right? Oh well jeans feel big so that is all that matters.

So - how I am feeling?

Let me give it to you straight:

* Calf muscles have graduated into Cow Muscles - they even MOO when I run

* My jelly belly is turning into something more like icecream belly - still squishy but not as wobbly - there is a hardness behind the jelly that I just want to drift closer to the surface (note to self a magnum a day not helping with trip to surface)

* My tuck shop arms are now arms that could be easily owned by someone who works in a cafeteria - not a real trendy one, but one you don't mind going to occassionally because they do a good chai latte

That is how I am physically changing I think. I look at Cowboy and he is morphing into Arnie Schw. a little scary. I can massively see him changing- though his training is different.

Mentally? It is really pushing my boundaries - I get whingy and wanting to die each time - BUT I turn up.

And I think it was Woody Allen who said that success sometimes is just showing up.

I'll take that.
