As I said last post, I just started working with a personal trainer. The goal was to figure out why my current diet and workout routines were not doing anything helpful, if not in fact hindering my body. With a side plus of learning some new stuff to work on my arms and legs. A daily plan perhaps. It hasn't quite worked out like that though. At all.The first session was testing, to see where I was at. With Carissa's classes, I more than outshone all of the tests with the exception of pushups which was totally expected. The second session was really just her watching me do a ridiculous and probably unhealthy amount of weight lifting. My blood pressure went so low at the end that my hearing went out for a few seconds (like when you yawn) and I thought I was going to puke. All of this is fine and dandy, except that doing this once a week for the 6 (maybe 12) weeks that I can afford isn't going to affect much.
Which is annoying. I need a plan! A schedule! Tell me what to do every day and I will do it. Don't just try to kill me in the weight room once a week and think that's going to change anything really.
She's also led me to believe that I have a ridiculously slow metabolism. Great. Thanks. That helps me a TON.
We shall see. Hopefully it morphs into a crazy awesome good thing. At least I like her. She's super nice and all, just not too into personalities. Its a, "I tell you to do this many and then I watch you do them" type relationship. Army 101.

look up body for life (bodyforlife.com). get the book or read all about it on the website. matt & i started this last february and it has become our lifestyle over the last 15 months. i lost like 60 lbs and it's a completely manageable program. it tells you exactly what to do. and it works. and p.s. i had a really slow metabolism. if you have any questions about it let me know, we know alot about it :)
did you ever check out that info i gave you? i'm telling you...
Kristyn- I actually have the body for Life book, and Tim and I followed it for about 3 months. Thats actually the time where I gained the most weight, so unfortunately its not the plan for me. It seemed likea really good plan though, I am glad its working out for somebody! Thanks for the suggestion though.
Calais- I did check out that website. I didn't think that's me. The symptoms didn't really seem to fit, at least I didn't think so. I should give it another look.
