get regular assessments at the gym

Now that I’m having personal training, I’m definately doing this! It’s been great so far for keeping me motivated and on track. Woohoo!

I guess that I’m definately going to be doing this, as I now have a personal trainer! I’ve had a half and hour introductory session, and ‘officially’ start with her next week. She seems really nice and I’m excited that I’ve taken this step for myself. I just seem help getting back on track with training, and getting inspired again. She seems really positive and isn’t scary at all lol.

Well when I went in for my workout today, they could fit me in straight away! I was so nervous, which was silly because my trainer is really nice and encouraging. So I’ve got 8 weeks until my next assessment which I’m going to stick to – I can’t wait to see my progress! I’m glad I went because it gave me a definate goal of where I need to be.

Okay, I’m making an appointment to do this tomorrow. I don’t know why I’m dreading it so much, because I know it will be such a positive thing! Especially when I go back in 6 weeks and see my progress. I think that I’m worried about being judged, when really I’m just judging myself.

at getting my gym assessments, which is probably why my progress yoyos. I need someone to be accountable to other than myself. I don’t know why I keep avoiding assessements – I think that I fear being judged. It’s not as if I’m in terrible shape. Sure, I’m not where I want to be, but i feel ashamed sometimes for not being as fit and lean as the people doing the assessments. Logically, I know that’s just silly. I should be proud of myself for making progress rather than feeling down for not ‘being there’ yet. So, January 15th I’m having an assessment then every 6 weekly from there. You all have to help me stick to this – because I’m sure I’ll try to weasel my way out of it! Once I start seeing the progress I know this will become easier.
