The Journey Begins...

So after almost a month of working out 3 times a week here I am looking to doing this again for another month.  Well, I told the trainers I would give them until my birthday to show me this works.  When I first signed up I had to take 3 classes that were 1 on 1 with the trainers.  I was really surprised and impressed at how much info was put into these sessions.  I got to know both trainers a little bit and they got to know me. 

I was shown how to do some of the exercises in 1 session and as helpful as this was it was a little overwhelming trying to get it all in my head. 

The 2nd session was a nutrition session.  It was probably the most helpful of all the sessions.  While most of it is common sense there were things I learned about my eating habits that I had not stopped and taken the time to realize such as I hate protein with the exception of cheese.  See, I'm not big on eating meat in fact I get tired of chewing that stuff.  And as much as I love my veggies I couldn't eat all that were on the plan.  I don't dislike fruit but I hate to buy it and have to cut it up so I buy it already cut up.  Then there was the dreaded weigh in.  I have to say G-d intervened on this one because I don't get on a scale for anyone.  Well, by this time I knew even if I didn't like what was being asked of me I was going to have to do it. 

Thus began the nutrition part of this journey.  As easy as it should have been to get on board with this it wasn't.  I struggled for over a week to do 5 strict days of this plan with no sugar and no cheating.  I finally got it!  It's still a struggle especially when holidays come around but I'm trying and really working hard at sticking to it.  I just don't like meat and that is my biggest struggle.  But I believe I will be keeping the dairy farmers in business as I love milk and that is considered a carb and a protein ;-)  So after 1 month the weight loss is around 11lbs.  Do I wish it was more.... heck yeah!  But it's a start and the start of my journey to do even better next month.
