My trainer of 1 year left Fitness First to pursue a career in Physical Therapy.. Boohoohoo... Happy for her, but that means I have to find a new trainer that I fits. So, Shell (my previous trainer) referred me to Ace. It's not my first time to train with a male trainer, but I ws kinda anxious what he was gonna make me do. My gym buddy told me that they are a little bit more "unforgiving" (hahaha!) and a little bit more aggressive. Maybe this is just what I need to kick it up a notch.

My activities for today:

- Outdoor (walking for warm up)

Time: 15 minutes

- Treadmill (jogging)

Time: 10 minutes

Speed: 6.5 - 7.3

- Circuit training with a personal trainer

Time: 40 minutes

- Evening Walk

Time: 40 minutes

Ok -- Ace is a little bit more challenging than Shell because after each set he only made me rest for 1 minute (including the trip to the water fountain), but I felt really good honestly... BUT he did say that that was just to introduce me and get my body used to the different training technique. So come Monday, I will be expecting a little bit of soreness in my muscles! Hahaha!

My menu for today:

BREAKFAST

1/2 cup Nestle Banana Nut Clusters Cereal

1/2 cup milk

LUNCH (@ Shanghai Bistro)

Fish Fillet in Tausi Hot Pot

1/2 cup white rice

1/2 cup Broccoli and Mushroom

DINNER

1 cup Tuna Spread and whole wheat crackers

I loved my workout today and I think I did pretty well in my diet. I do have to limit our restaurant eating though because I am unfamiliar with their cooking process even if it says "steamed" or "fish"... So I have to really watch it. I do feel more active now and I am happy because I always want to get a move on!
