Done with Personal Training

So I finished my 8th and final personal training session on Friday. I really enjoyed the sessions. I feel a bit stronger, especially in my arms. I had zero arm strength before and now I have some little tiny arm muscles! My weight stayed pretty static throughout all of the personal training sessions. It's a little frustrating that I most likely won't reach my goal weight by the wedding (unless I don't eat for the next week) but I'm happy with how I feel and look, so I can't complain much. I kept my promise of only eating 3 slices of frozen pizza per meal. Man, I love pizza.

Tired Arms

Oh man. My arms are so tired. I worked them SO hard at my personal training session tonight, to the point where I couldn't continue my reps because my arms just wouldn't move. I bet they are going to be sore tomorrow! But it will be worth it at some point when my upper arms are no longer just squishy bags of flab coming out of my shoulders.

Personal Training Session

I had my first personal training session tonight! It was SO intense. I started with 14 minutes of cardio on the elliptical - alternating every two minutes between level 3 and level 8. Then I did a circuit of weight training three times. The circuit involved lifting weights, using weight machines, stepping up and down, and core workout. I was sweating SO much. I think this will really be worth it.

The only thing I didn't like very much was that my trainer kept chatting with the other trainers and I could tell she wasn't keeping track of my reps. It was frustrating. Oh well. She seems nice anyway. I am going to be SO sore tomorrow!

Quick Update

I have a meeting with a personal trainer on Monday! She's going to describe the different packages that I can sign up for and stuff like that. It's expensive, but I talked to Dan and my mom about it, and it seems like it will be worth it, especially since it will only be for about a month or so.

Last Zumba

Well, last night was the last Zumba of the semester with the awesome instructor. There will be some Zumba offered over the summer, but it will be at the other gym with a different instructor. I've been to the other Zumba before and it is fun, but not as great as the one I usually go to. Oh well.

I filled out an online request for information about a personal trainer. I hope they get back to me soon because I only have like a month and a half until the wedding! Eeks! I need to get some toned arms, and fast!

Personal Training?

I'm considering getting a personal trainer for about a month before the wedding. I need to make a decision soon. It's expensive, but I know several people who have highly recommended it. Hmm...

Zumba fun!

Okay, Zumba last night was awesome. The instructor put together a collection of her favorite songs from classes throughout the semester, and it was really high energy and really fun! I was laughing and smiling the whole time, and I was SO tired and sweaty by the end. I hope there are Zumba classes offered over the summer!
