Obviously this will be unique to each individual, but as a general rule of thumb what would you consider those "last stubborn pounds"? 10? 15? 20?
I would love to take a spinning class and see a personal trainer but I know if I went now I would walk out defeated, embarassed, frustrated and would probably feel very much like giving up. We live very rurally so the gym isn't something convenient for me to get to, but currently I do have to go to town twice a week and I drive right past a gym that offers both personal trainers and spinning classes (conveniently on the days I am down there...
) I'm usually good at the beginning on my own, but I know towards the end when the pounds get tough to shed I get frustrated and discouraged so I thought, why not make a mini-goal and have the reward be a few personal trainer sessions and classes. I'd like to set that particular mini-goal in a good place where I'll feel good enough about myself to not walk out of a gym completely defeated, but also in a good place where it can help me kick those last stubborn pounds. I was thinking of setting that mini-goal at 165, 20 lbs shy of my final goal. Any thoughts on that plan from the experts?
