From PB to PT...

I have a new personal trainer!  He use to be Alyssa's pool boy, but now he is my very own butt kicker.  Yes, I am talking about Robbie Roberto.  Rob (after reading my blog (see below)) asked if I was interested in working out with him. So, Monday morning we took to the trail behind their house.  It was a freezing 44 degrees, but we bundled up and headed out.  We did 3 miles, some jogging (a.k.a."Dorothy jogging" - as long as there is a bounce it is considered jogging), some walking.  Now, walking 3 miles would normally be a piece of cake.  However, this new jogging thing was seriously killing me.  Rob's motivational speech was "If the 400lb people on the biggest loser can do it, so can you."  Well, I was pretty proud of myself because yesterday I did the Dorothy jog for 1/2 a mile without stopping! YAY! Today we did 3 - 1/2 mile intervals of Dorothy jogging and I was feeling a lot more confident that maybe this jogging thing was doable.  When we got back to the house Rob fed me a snack of boiled eggs, a banana and water...mmmmm!   (The joggers gourmet meal) Then I was off to work. (Well, of course, after giving Buddy some love.)

Thanks Robbie for all you help and much needed motivation (YOU RULE!) and thanks Alyssa for letting me borrow your Pool Boy!
I also decided we should document how GOOD I look after almost dying, so Rob humored me a took this great picture! Thought you could use a little laugh today! (Sorry Alyssa, this picture is on your camera - please feel free to DELETE as soon as you get home.)
