So, I met with Cute Little Trainer Boy 2 tonight for my first personal training session. CLBT 2 and I talked last week about changing up my workout routine so I can jumpstart past the plateau and meet my goal of -12 lbs by March 14 (which is now -10 lbs, by the way–buying my new CD this week!)
CLBT 2 took me into the circuit training room and lowered the weights on the machine and had me do 25 reps of each. In between each weight machine, I held 8 lbs dumbells and stepped up on a 12 inch step. For 1 minute. The first 15 seconds was easy. The next, still okay…but the last? OUCH. Not easy at all. Those 8 lbs dumbells felt like 80 and my legs felt like rubber and my heart? GO SPEED RACER!
But I did that entire circuit room in 3o minutes or so and I can promise, I feel it now. I’m tired. Which is good. Really good, actually.
CLBT 2 suggested I do the circuit room as we did today for 3 days a week and do my 45 minute cardio the other 3 days. And he wants to meet with me once a week until my goal date. (and he’s not charging me for these sessions, which is AWESOME because my checkbook is a little empty right now) He really wants me to get to my goal so he’s gonna push me.
Can I lose another 10 lbs in 3 weeks? It’s gonna be tough but I’m gonna go for it.
Now can someone tell me why I thought it was a good idea to fix pizza for the kids tonight?

Step away from the pizza. Keep your eye on CLBT 2. The best motivation I ever had was my PT, Dana. I did great things with her, but it emptied my pocketbook. But if I was Sarah Jessica Parker, I’d be back with her in a New York minute.
Go Mel!
Elen, Danas rock. *grin*
HZ I’m impressed. My quads feel sympathy pain for you, but I’m impressed.
