It's Serious Time

I have officially gotten serious about my wiggly self and joined Gold's Gym. I've even got a personal trainer that I will meet with once a week to ensure I don't speed up another back surgery.

I have belonged to the Rec Center's for the valley, but that was on my own and very few of the people I know belonged to it. Plus, with my schedule, it was easier to not find time to work out. Now I have no excuse as I'm paying for this big time and definitely want to see results.

I've worked out pretty much my entire life, but haven't been faithful about it since before my mission. Now that I'm in my 30's and it's getting harder and harder to occasionally work out with the results I want, I figured it was time to do something. My trainer is helping me come up with workouts I can do on my own, that again won't hurt my stupid spine, and will keep on top of my eating habits, which as most people know, aren't the best as I don't eat enough. Yes, I'm the stupid person who actually gains fat because I don't eat enough.

I've done Weight Watchers numerous times, and I've always had the problem of getting all of my points in. People hated me at my meetings as I would complain how I felt like I was eating all of the time, where others were dying they were so hungry! I would have 35 points to eat in a day, and it'd be 8:00 at night and I'd still have 22 points to eat! It was hard because I eat a ton of fruits and vegetables, but they don't count really point wise (vegetables are free) so that's why I was always scrambling late at night. Ironically enough I started eating ice cream at night to get my points in and then I started losing. Stupid I know. Now with the Celiac issue, I'm really not eating enough food in the day, and I'm paying for it.

I feel good about my decision and hopefully by the end of the summer no one will recognize me due to my svelte, sexy, toned, hot mama self!

Good for you! How do you like it so far? Is the trainer kicking your butt? I have started trying to run, and so far can go about 1/2 to 3/4 mile without pooping out, so I'm a huge weakling I guess. Good luck to both of us!
