New beginnings

So this past week I signed up with a personal trainer, Jeff, at Gold's Gym. I was kind of fed up and feeling hopeless and down. I think I was also frustrated because I had been feeling sick. My stomach had been upset for a week and I was so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. So I signed up for 32 sessions. Big investment. I thought that I would be less likely to let my trainer down then myself. Sort of sad, right? I worked out for the first time on Wednesday. It was great. Jeff said he could tell I had been an athlete because of my form on my squats and later on with my punches. That made me feel so proud and encouraged. I told him I would do cardio in the mornings and then work out with him M, W, F for strength training. On Thursday, Sat, and Sun I did Turbo Kick 101, a half hour workout. I am down close to 15lbs from my highest weight, which is nice.

I've tried to be more thoughtful about what I eat. I haven't been totally on point, but I think I've been doing better. Been trying to watch portion size and eating every few hours. I did have a burrito bowl at Chipolte yesterday and realize that it was much too much food and could have been split into two meals. Thinking more about that. Sandwiches I can eat half at a time, maybe with a cup of soup.

I will get back to my tranformation exercises. Maybe not today because I am cleaning up, but will do it mos def.

So this week I am looking forward to three workouts with my trainer, better eating, cardio at least five times this week on my own, and meals at 2-3 hour intervals.

Onward and downward!
