I like her. She’s young, super skinny, and really trying to push me to buy a BodyBugg….but other than that, I like her. :)

She was very thorough, took all my measurements, walked through a normal eating routine for me, told me that I will be able to track my food on a site, that she can look at. She also mentioned she will call me if she sees I’m eating bad shit. I’ve never had that before, so that seems interesting. She went over the different price plans again. I think I’m going to do the 10 - 50 Minute Session for $629. My only complaint is having to meet with her (any 24-Hour Fitness trainer) twice a week. I’m used to working with a trainer only once a week. I’m trying to look past it, and just see the positive that maybe this will make me lose the weight faster than I did last time (last time I would lose 1 pound a week). This is when she stressed getting a BodyBugg. I’m wondering if I can negotiate a deal on it. If it was $199, I’d buy it…….

We then had enough time to do 25 minutes of a work-out. Insane-ness that involved kettlebells, bands around my ankles, squats, lunges, and step-ups on a very wobbly cushion-thing (not a Bosu ball, this was square, foamy, and about 18 inches tall). She was great with telling me that doing my cardio on my bike was fine with her, if it made me happy, I should do it. I meet with her again on Tuesday.

In other news, I shelled out a hella lot of money and bought my mother some 5/8 ct. diamond earrings. It hurt to spend that much money on someone other than myself :) but seeing as how she brought me into this world, and is letting me live in her house rent-free….I guess it’s the least I could do :-D

  1. HR monitors I find are not as accurate in estimating calories burned because my heart rate can vary throughout the day due to coffee consumption, fluid intake and stress.

    Training twice a week will not guarantee your results because simply stated you have to eat less and move more to lose weight. Good luck.
