I met with my physical trainer for a consultation!
I tried talking myself out of going because her schedule didn’t align with when I wanted to do this. I wanted to go during my days off work, not in the evening. I went anyway.
We will schedule our training sessions in the evening because she works during the day. It wasn’t my first choice. I could have said no. After all, I waited all this time so I could do this during the day while both kids were in school. I don’t want to give up time with my kids to workout. But, I decided to shift my perspective and think about how I am doing this for my health, which trickles down to my kids benefit. I decided not to let this minor inconvenience deter me.
I am really excited about my trainer because she lost 120 lbs and knows what it’s like to be obese. She has personal experience that you can’t really learn. She is gentle and encouraging. She knows I’m nervous and she gets it.
My first session with her will be Wednesday! Until then, I am continuing my walks. When I transitioned into the school year routine I made a commitment to go for a 20 minute walk after school drop off. This week, I walked 4/5 days! My goal is to do it at least 3 times each week.
I have already noticed some benefits from my new walking routine. I have more energy, and I’m losing a little of my regain without being full back on track with my nutrition. I hope to start getting a better grip on nutrition by the end of the month, but I’m also taking things a little bit at a time not to overwhelm myself.
