Vest picture
Here is a picture of the vest. Considering I typically wear all black, I realize its kind of hard to see...but it's zipped! That's the big thing!
I took some comparison photos too, but wasn't happy with them. Really no changes. I was pretty bummed considering I have been in the gym religiously. I'm hoping my next fill is really going to help with the food side of things. I wanted to document what I looked like today...and then after my 4 months of this new trainer kicking my butt!!! I'm not posting my comparison photos as there is no difference.

Personal Trainer....OUCH!
I've been in the gym now for two months. I've been doing cardio and recently added weight lifting. I've been thinking about getting a personal trainer....but down the road. Didn't feel ready yet. Well, on Thursday, that changed. I was doing my workout, minding my own business, was on the LAST set of my LAST machine before I showered. I felt a tap on my back....and a very cute personal trainer started with his pitch! He convinced me to do a trial workout. I freaked out for the next 48 hours, but I am alive to tell you about it!
I just got done working out...and have never been INSTANTLY sore. I mean, really?!?!?! We did circuit training and he kicked my ass. I was dripping with sweat. It was a good feeling in some ways, but scared me to death in other ways. I have always had very low self-confidence, low self-esteem, etc. I don't like looking like a fool anytime, but especially at the gym. He had me doing jump-jacks....i had to go somewhere else in my mind. All I could think about was all my fat jumping up and down too. So I just went somewhere else mentally!
In the end, he convinced me he could really help me. He wanted to do a 6 month program (yikes), but I said I will be in the Hamptons the months of July & August. So he said we could do a 4 month program, but a really accelerated program since we only have 4 months (double yikes). I'm so nervous for the next 4 months of my life. So $2600 later...I have myself a Personal Trainer named Danny!
I know it will be good and help me in the long run. I know it will get easier and easier. I know it will help me get to my ultimate goal. But man am I sore! I was prepared for being sore tomorrow....but it was instant!
Ok, enough crying about that.
On the weight loss front...the scale didn't really budge this week. I know my eating wasn't great...so it's my own fault for not hitting the 220's like I had hoped for.
NSV....I had bought a black puffy vest earlier this fall. I loved it, but didn't really fit. Ok, it didn't fit period. Didn't zip at all, but figured I could just wear it open and not zip it. I ended up never wear it in the fall. Had the tags still on it when I went to put it on this week. AND IT ZIPPED ALL THE WAY UP AND STILL HAD ROOM!!! I was so happy!
I can't wait for more NSV's. I was much happier about the NSV than when the scale moves. Don't get me wrong, like when that happens too, but this felt great!
Ok, I have to get on with my Saturday. Hope everyone had a great week!
