Oh Brother.... Why Did He Pick Me

Ok, so as you guys may or may not know that I have been working with a personal trainer for the past two weeks in order to get my weight under control. Well I only signed up for 4 sessions until my group weight loss program began.

Let me start from the beginning. At Life Time fitness they have a program where you can sign up to take a group weight loss class in order to work with a trainer and a nutritionist but at a fraction of the cost. Ok, so 3 weeks ago I signed up for that program. In this program you must lose a certain amount of weight or you have to pay a fee for not reaching your goal. That fee is $150 bucks in addition to the cost of the class, so you know I am going to give it all I got. Anyway, as I signed up for that program, I was thinking about getting some one on one time with a trainer until it started, you know just to have a jump on the game. Well, I did just that.

Now back to my story, for the past two weeks I have been getting to the gym at 6:30 am to work with my trainer, two days a week. It is only for 30 minutes but it seems like forever. Well today, he informed me that not only does he want me to take the group class, he has signed me up for a 2nd challenge. He and some other trainers are making a bet to see if they can whip whom ever they pick into shape before each other. OH BROTHER......WHY DID HE PICK ME. Now he trains 35 people but I am the lucky one. REALLY, are you kidding me.

Now keep in mind I was only planned on working out for 30 minutes a day,6 days a week until I got into better shape, now he has bumped it up to 1hr and 1/2 , 6 days a week. Two days I will be working with him for an hour and then they other days I am to follow the plan that he maps out for me. JUST GREAT!! These plans are the worst, not only do I have to workout really hard, I have to change everything I eat. OH BROTHER....WHY DID HE PICK ME.

Ok, so I don't eat that much junk, but I live off of caffeine, something that he really would like for me to give up. REALLY, you have to be kidding me when he comes in there with a extra large coffee each work out. The crazy part is, I was just telling hubs yesterday how I needed some motivation to keep going. I guess you have to be careful for what you wish for, you just MIGHT get it. So needless to say, starting Sunday my work out schedule will be longer and much harsher. I really hope we win. Even though I don't win anything, I adore my trainer and I would love for him to win bragging rights. Well, I take that back, I get something, WEIGHT LOSS, who doesn't want that.

So all my blog land friends wish me luck. Each program last 3 months, oh the DRAMA! At the end I will post my weight and picture, my goal for the group class is 18lb, 10% of body weight, and for the second challenge it is the person with the least body fat, kind of like The Biggest Loser.

P.S. I will post picture of our family picnic when I get a chance, hubs has finished touching them up and they are wonderful.
