Personal Training Session 1

-- smokin' hot body by summer goal progress update....

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit - Aristotle

PT was hard.

He let me stop because I was going to vomit.

It is so much more full-on to have a trainer watching my every move so I can't rest when he is not looking.

It is also hard when he is critiquing my ab crunching technique, it adds an element of extreme self consciousness that didn't exist in the non-personal training regime I am used to....

On the plus side the 'personal' part is good. It is good to have a trainer tell you approx how long til the SHB will be achieved and how it is going to happen.

It is nice for him to also give you added hope that it will happen if I just do x and y.

Being trained personally also adds an accountability factor - something I need.

It is a good outlet to burn out the stress accumulated from trying to change a babies nappy when he takes off across the room when I am trying to do it. (this IS stressful, it might sound funny, but I find it stressful!)

And oddly, It somehow gives you the energy you need to not sleep through the night.

OR gives you the ability to sleep through the baby crying through the night

Either one has got to be a good thing.

Sore today? Yes?

Felt happy afterwards despite nausea? Yes

Cowboy in attendance made it easier? Yes

Going tmrw night? Yes

Smokin' hot body coming up? See answers above

Just need to figure out what I should be eating to get the S.H.B

(important note: my actual goal is to be fit and healthy the SHB would be a nice side effect. I might reword my goal though because I feel like a real dickhead saying Smokin' Hot Bod, that is such the talk of a Cosmo reader... I have upgraded to Real Living... )

Has anyone else had a personal trainer?

How did you find it?
