TOM is Now

Here in all its full-blown glory.

I’ve had 2 work-related happy hours this week. And a chocolate milkshake on Wednesday - we’ve been in 90’s all week….a milk shake is so justified.

I’ve been trying to stick to the workouts, concentrating on my heart rate levels. The only problem I see is that I can get it up to my cardio level (150-ish), but trying to get it to go down for the ‘fat burn’ level (140-ish) is tough. Just as I get it back down to 140-ish, it’s time for me to get it back up to 150-ish.

Also, the BodyBugg is on sale online for $209. Can you believe that?! Of course, when I don’t have the money it’s that cheap….well, I do have the money, but I’m going to Corpus Christi this weekend for Memorial Day, so I want spending money for that. Grr. Hopefully it stays on sale for a week and I can get it next Friday. Whatever.

 

Trainer Lea

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
