Default Tonight's the NIGHT!


I am going to my FIRST personal training session at the gym! OMG I'm so nervous, but excited too! I hope she doesn't kill me! LOL

I made the appt Monday, because I knew if I didn't, the gym membership would, again, sit idle for a year.

I'll let you know how it goes!

OMG it's over! And I feel GREAT!!!!!!!

The trainer was awesome, she really worked me out hard! I can't wait to go back tomorrow.

During the workout...I almost burst into tears 3 or 4 times. This is really hard! This road is tough. I am SOOO out of shape. I have watched TBL and seen them cry, and I didn't understand it. Now I do. When you push your body, and it doesn't respond the way you want...and you see other poeple working out who are thin, and you just feel SO FAT and so out of place!

The trainer was great. She really made me feel like she was on my side, and her just saying to me...LINDA I am going to help you...was what I needed to hear!

I am looking forward to this journey! It's long, it's hard...but its WORTH IT!

Way to go, Linda! I also cried the first time I met with my trainer - tears of frustration that I was so out of shape and overweight. That was a few weeks ago, and I am sooo happy I stuck with it. You can do this! It's a great feeling of accomplishment, especially when you begin to see improvement!

I think that is EXACTLY what it was! I had to walk away from her a few times cause I felt like I was going to break down like a blubbering idiot in front of all these people! I felt so foolish! And then, all I could think was...I am the FATTEST girl here. And what must all these people be thinking?

BUT...

I got through it, and I feel better for it! The first time is the hardest!

Thanks for all of your support! It really helps!
