Took the Plunge!

  • I started working and working out at a gym about two weeks ago. I get a free membership and reduced personal training. I did the jumpstart program they offer, and tonight was my last session. So, I took the plunge and bought 50 (!) sessions with my trainer. I reason that I don't want to buy clothes right now because they will soon be too big, so the money I would spend on clothes I will use to improve my health and fitness. I'm excited to keep going and can't wait to see results!
  • Congrats on taking the plunge. You can do it!!!
  • Yay!! How exciting. I'm in on the clothes buying ban right now too. My next set of clothes won't be purchased till size 16 and I have a few pieces still sitting in my closet for that!
    What an awesome way to direct your energy...WTG!
  • Holy cow.... 50 sessions?! How much did that run you at your gym?? At mine it's a ridiculous amount... like $350 for 15 sessions or something!
  • Awesome!
  • gogogo! get that workout and enjoy it !! wow 50 sessions!
  • 50 sessions!!! you'll be in tip top shape after all that!! well done girl, its defintiely something you wont regret.
  • That's great!
  • I'm envious -- I wish I could afford a trainer! But it's great you found someone you're comfortable with and could give them a try before committing to more sessions.
  • Awesome!! Congrats
  • Thanks everyone! It was pretty pricey, but since I work at the gym I get $30 pt sessions. I thought about it for a week before I did it, and broke down how much I spend on fast food and clothes, and I'll actually come out ahead, since I won't be buying fast food all of the time and not nearly as many pieces of clothing, at least until I reach goal! I invest that money in things I want anyway, so why not invest in something I want that will change my life?
  • I think it`s great! :-) I agree with everything you say about spending money - just because it`s a large sum at one time does not mean that it can`t be a bargain! If you can afford it, I`d be all for it!

    It`ll force you not to quit - as one may do if you buy one session (or small block) at a time. That`ll be twice a week for six month - I`m sure this an make an amazing difference to your body and overall fitness! And after that, you`ll be so used to it that you will probably maintain it on your own?
  • What a great investment in yourself!

    Cheers,

  • That's awesome. You're going to be one hot mama after those 50 sessions. Keep up the good work
