Hire a personal trainer.

Hired a personal trainer,did an assessment-weight, body fat,heart rate, etc.. Reviewed my workout, scheduled six weeks of training
sessions. I was really psyched, then I got a new job and my work
and trainings schedules conflicted. Won’t be able to start up again
until January, then my school schedule might conflict with my training schedule. I hope not. I could always hire a different trainer but,
this trainer was cool. I felt comfortable with her, the surroundings,
her methods, and her knowledge.

I wanted to hire a personal trainer to help teach me the proper way to lift weights, exercise, do stretches, plan meals, and generally be healthy.

instead of wasting my savings on purses and clothes i decided to finally get the trainer. i realized its better to loose a few dress sizes before i go on any shopping sprees so this has also helped me think twice before buying clothes i really don’t need.

hopefully i can sign up for a trainer next week. i plan on going every single day unless i’m out of town.

I have been exercising this week and will get my plan from my trainer tomorrow. I can only afford to go once a month but she understands and has been helpful. Hope I can do this w/o going a couple times a week to see the trainer.

more excuses … I think I just don’t want to be as “disciplined” as getting a trainer would entail. No progress …

Intial visit and first appointment for evaluation are done. Tonight is my first real session and I go again Saturday – it’s very expensive so I may not go often but at least I’ll learn the right way to use weights and to exercise regularly on my own.

Actually, i was suppose to do this today, but didn’t.
lots of excuses why I didn’t, too.

I have an appointment Monday to see what all it entails and the costs.

I have recently read the book by Lana Castle entitled “The gift of a year”. It is a wonderfully inspiring book directed twards women who put themselves last on the important list and have many unfulfilled dreams. I am not that much of a reader but I read the over 200 paged book in about 4 days. I have many ideas on what I’d like to make this year special. One is to validate my goal of losing weight by trying something I have wanted to do for awhile…hire a personal trainer. Mostly I think it will make me responsible for my workouts…I’ll have someone to answer to that I am paying a good deal of money to that I don’t want to waste. I think before I felt guilty about using family funds for something that seemed unnecessary or too expensive before. Now I feel like I am entitled to it and it may be the only thing that will work for me. It seems I have tried most “diets” out there. What I really need is hard work and a lot of sweat! Thanks for any advice.
