I had my 5th training session last Friday. I bought 6 more sessions last week, so that means I have 7 more to go now. It is no picnic. It is hard work, I feel week, I feel like a disappointment and I'm not losing weight. Everyone around me, including the trainer tells me I'm skinnier though. I'm probably gaining muscle now, but I really want the scale to move for me. I had bought this protein shake stuff made from Whey... it is only 100 calories, but it has 20 grams of protein. I wonder if that is causing me to gain muscle faster, hence the no weight loss. I'm stressed out about it a bit, because this week she is planning on weighing me. So no more protein shakes this week and I'm going to be really good about eating.
It has been hard with the eating.. friends want you to go out, there is a State Fair to contend with... people want you to drink with them. Weight loss isn't fun. There are books devoted to making it fun or easy, but in the end it is neither.
My trainer told me she is proud of me though on Friday -- she must be seeing the progress.
