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!
