Anyway, we get to the gym and do the typical routine on the treadmill, but I notice that my leg and lower back is starting to hurt, but I keep on going. Once the treadmill is done I decide to skip the bike and the elliptical because of my back/leg and we go walk around the track. A few laps later we decide to call it quits...which is just fine because by this time I was really in pain. Once I get home I decided I needed to take one of my left-over vicodin from when I had my carpal tunnel surgery.
Fast forward to Monday, I had my PFP #2 with my trainer at the gym and he decided to change my work out routine. I don't have it memorized yet because I haven't actually done it yet. But I am now doing a new, more challenging routine on the treadmill and the elliptical, as well as the bike. In addition to this he has incorporated weight-lifting. I am actually pretty happy about this because I need to be pushed a little harder.
My weigh ins are on Mondays, but I couldn't resist and weighed myself (unofficially) on Friday. I was down 2 more pounds! Talk about excited! Well... then... Sunday I had two BBQ's to go to. I really, really tried to be good and make good choices but those darn cupcakes and huge chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies were SCREAMING out for me! I broke down and ate some... in addition to a big, fat brat, potato chips, WATER!, and a few slices of watermelon. Oh, I guess I should say that I had McDonalds for dinner Saturday night, at like 9:30. After my major oink-fest of a weekend, I gained back a pound. Still, I guess 1 pound is still pretty good in a week.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I did get my hair cut today as a little incentive/prize for losing 12 pounds. It is pretty short, but I think I'll like it once I get used to it. Here are my before and after pictures (and don't mind my after pictures because the flash was too close to my face!)

Viola! There I am. I can't believe how different I look with short hair. Hope it doesn't take me too long to get used to it!
