After a great week. I met with my trainer for a second week. I felt that I was doing well. Linus wants me to start warming up about seven minutes before we start working out. So I got to the gym a little early so I could be ready to go for my appointment with Linus. I got on my cardio machine and had my heart rate monitor on and was rocking and rolling.
Linus got there and we had a great workout. My heart rate would get up to the 180s and then we would let it recover to the 130s before I'd start the next exercise. Linus is very encouraging and isn't a yeller who says "jump higher, run faster". If he knows that I'm putting out my best effort he just encourages me.
We got through our first cycle of exercises and about half way through I started to feel nauseous again. I immediately knew what was coming so I thought it was in my best interest to let him know that I wasn't feeling good. He quickly put me on a treadmill and started me walking slowly. He said it was important for my blood to keep going and would help me to feel better. After about five or so minutes I did in fact start to feel better. We called it quits for the day and Linus said to keep coming into the gym and keep up the work outs.
Nothing else that week went poorly. I worked out and ate healthy. My wife was very supportive. I did tell her that I felt nauseous. When I played sports I saw people throw up fairly regularly so I didn't think anything about it. I kept disregarding it as being out of shape.
I was seeing progress on the scale. I was dropping weight and starting to feel great. I have a long road ahead of me. I always do well with the first few weeks. I want to make this more than an attempt. Two weeks down. A lifetime to go!
