Today...I entered the world of trainer and trainee, and though it sounds like a pleasant marriage, there are already signs that my trainer is no-nonsense. When I entered the facility again today, I marveled at the beauty of the building, held my key chain up for the computer to register me, and waited patiently for one of the young assistants to retrieve Yo from the back. One of them asked if I were the winner of the contest and stated my name to which I affirmed. She clapped her hands together and exclaimed, "I cried after reading your email. It was so touching." I found myself fighting my own tears for some stupid reason because I knew this was the beginning of my no longer be known or described based on my girth. Moments later, Yo arrived. We sat at the table and she proceeded to give me my weight loss plan. Um...there will be a lot of tuna consumption. All in all the food guide looked pretty sound, and I didn't see anything that would make me balk. Well, raw celery, but I do get to eat it with peanut butter. Blech...
This day was spent working with the weights and Yo gave me the chance to choose which part I wanted to "tighten". Naturally, I chose my arms. We began with bicep curls using 5lb weights. I then had to sit and stand until my knees wobbled. I recall thinking as she demonstrated the "sit and stand" exercise that it would be a cinch. But, when you have done them over 50 times, um... yeah. The 5lb weight was replaced with 10 lbs and my eyes popped. I didn't think I would sweat, but sweat I did. The worst part was not cycling for 30 minutes (which I did, and must remember my earphones the next time) or power walking around the boxing area. Nope. The worst was stepping up and done this gigantic step that was at least a foot off the ground. Forty times!
Did I mention my exercise routine is DAILY? Yes, ladies...PRAY!
