So, last night was the first training session which turned out to be a fitness assessment. I had to laugh at how many times I had to respond to a nutrition related question with a "Well....." When all was said and done, I feel pretty committed to trying to work on some of my bad eating habits. I may not be ready to ditch my diet coke addition yet, but I can try to limit my Dorito and cupcake intake for sure. I was pumped that mayonnaise was on the Bad Choice list that my trainer gave me. I don't like mayo...YAY!
AfterI did my strength training test, I saw my "report card." I felt the anxiety only a middle school student feels after doing poorly on an exam when waiting to see the final grade! I was not surprised to see the low score for upper body strength. I have none. I think that Katie got all of the upper body strength genes with all of the math genes. I was surprised to see that I scored "EXCELLENT" for my lower body! I hope that means that I don't ever have to do stairs at the gym. One can only hope!
Needless to say, I have a lot to do. I printed out my workout and now have a plan in place. I am a little anxious about finding the machines and not looking like a tool wandering around the gym. I am thinking I should get to the gym around 11pm. I can make up the sleep tomorrow after school! This way I can ensure a smaller amount of viewers to my sad sad nomadic rotation around the gym. I almost laughed/cried when I saw after all the reps on the machines for strength training, it says that I should do 20 minutes of treadmill cardio "jogging." HA! Jogging seems to me a workout in and of itself. Not a component to a workout! AHH!
Wish me luck as I try to complete everything tonight. I am anticipating that I will need most of the weekend to recover and I need to get to the gym at least 2 times before next Wednesday.
