Day 4-5-6
Sorry for the delay in postings. It has been a crazy weekend.
So, I didn't make to the gym Friday. I ended up making it on Saturday morning. It was not easy. I had what I call a food hangover from the night before. I may not drink,but I do know a good meal. I highly recommend the Longfellow Grill. Be sure to go on a day you are not counting calories. I pushed past that queasy feeling and managed to work my way through 1 1/2 round of the circuit machines. I felt much better after my workout. So I managed to get out of the gym again without puking. Dave 2- Puke 0.
Sunday was a busy day for the Fredericks Family. Hannah had a Sunday school presentation, while Janell, Avery and the twins walked in the Hasting parade for Annie. I had announcements to do at church. While making a announcement about the need for helpers in children's church. I said it was a great opportunity to discipline children. Whoops.... it should have been disciple. Let's see how many kids get dropped off at Sunday school next week.
We managed to find time to take a swim at the Y as a family. This has been a great opportunity for Janell and I to get a light workout in the pool while the girls swim. We have been to the pool so much, I think I sweat chlorine.
Today is Monday. I had my second workout with my trainer Alex. Today was strength training and balance. More new things. I am starting to use some of the free weights. I did some bench presses and bicep curls and added weights to my squats. The weights were easy compared to the balance exercises. I don't think I could pass a sobriety test sober.
I will start posting a monthly photo of myself to show my progress.

I am hoping to provide some humor and encouragement to those of us who have had to shop in stores that start with XL or in the dark corners of stores where their idea of big and tall is 2 shirts that look like your grandmother couch and pants with elastic. I use the term fat man in the title, because unless you have worked out your whole life, you feel like a fat man when you are new to the gym. No matter your size I think you have that same feeling.
