Last week, my girlfriend gave me 6 sessions with a personal trainer at the YWCA. Now of course one could infer that she wants a much hotter girlfriend than she has… but in fact, she knows it would be something that I’d really like. You see, I’m a person who likes to gather experiences rather than items. Items take up space and then you have to move them from place to place. Experiences make for good stories and they travel well. So it was a great gift idea! Also, I’ve been going to the gym for awhile and have lost close to 25 pounds - but I still need to lose roughly 15 more pounds.
Today, I have my first face-to-face with the personal trainer. It doesn’t count as one of my 6 sessions, as this one will be where she and I come up with a plan of attack. I believe I’ll get weighed and measured as well. I have a large frame, which tends to build muscle pretty quickly - so at age 37, I’ve decided to embrace this rather than fight it. In the past I’d stop lifting weights as soon as I’d gain weight. This particular personal trainer specializes in nutrition and weight training, so I feel I have the right person.
