WONDERFUL NEWS :)

So.... I went to the gym last night and did my second Group Step class. It seemed a little easier than the first one. Easier not as in easier intensity, it was still an INSANE 60 min workout, but it was def a little easier to get the steps down and my coordination was a little better. Anyways, after the workout I went into the change room, grabbed my stuff and headed out. I wanted to talk to the girl that was the instructer of the class I had just taken to ask her about muscle gain etc. and mention that I had gained last week, but she was busy. Out walked the owner of the gym and the woman that used to be my personal trainer WAY back in the day at the old gym a few years ago. Her and I were chatting, she is so sweet and very smart, and we were talking about my gain... she insisted that if I had a calorie deficit of nearly 7000 like I did then I didn't do anything wrong and that the only thing she could suggest was drinking more water and keeping at it. It could have been many things but most likely lean muscle mass or water retention. She also stated that you can start to show lean muscle mass gain as early as 3 weeks, but seeing as this was my 7th week that is only normal especially with how hard I have been working out....

On to the wonderful news part. Her and I continued to talk and she said to me that her and Jen, my current personal trainer who I also played baseball with back in the day for many years, were talking about me and my goals/success etc. etc. She said that she was very proud of me and personally touched with my story. She said that the whole trying to lose weight and not to just fit into a bikini or be a size 4, but be be healthier and happier and have a healthy pregnancy and baby was very touching to her and it hit home to her. We dicussed motherhood and all that fun stuff and it was just a very touching and moving conversation that I had with her. She then said that her, Jen, and the gym would like to support me as much as they can and would like to "sponsor" me of sorts and help me out with a program free of charge to help me reach my goals and continue on this wonderful path I am heading down. This almost made me cry! How sweet is this!??! I was soooo touched by what she was saying. I didnt get any specific details or anything but when I know more I will obvs blog about it.. I just wanted to share that with everyone :)
