I survived..... barely!!!!

OH MY WORD!!!!! I got my ass kicked last night like nobodys business. I almost fainted twice and came close to throwing up at the end of the workout. It was an hour and half of pure hell. There came a point that I thought I just couldnt do it. It was very overwhelming and emotional for me last night. I never realized how out of shape I have let myself become. Its not just my weight but everything. My heart rate kept going super high after only a few minutes of training. How could I let myself get to this point? I was very disappointed in myself but then I thought..... this is why I want this and need this so bad. Im only 28 years old. Theres no reason for me to be like this. I want this now more than ever.
So, while I was struggling through this crazy hard workout.... the Daily Herald was there taking pictures & video taping my entire workout!!!!!! It was soooooooooo embarrassing! There was one point where I can feel my pants up my butt and then Sharon (my trainer) is telling me to squeeze my cheeks together.... Mr Daily Herald man has it all on tape!!! Im anxious to see what all they are going to show. This might be very entertaining for all of you! Mortifying for me but entertaining for you.
Anyway... I managed to get through it and woke up this morning and feel like I need a body cast. I have no idea how Im going to go through another grueling training session tonight. I just keep thinking "It will get better!"
