First day with trainer

So I got there early and thought I should get some cardo in. New idea is to do weights first but I had time to do something so I didn't want to waste it. I did mile on the elliptical and then a mile on the Treadmill. Told Amber goal is to work up to jog at same pace 2 miles. Next we did a weight body fat type of assessment.
Next we were off lifting some weights or should I say some strength training. I need to add that goal dress as a picture.
Dang I might have to try that later. It didn't do a pop up.
So I had a really good work out and Amber is going to put a routine together for me. So if she does her part as a trainer I have to do my part as the trainee and do the work.
What I can't do is:
1. wait to the last week and try to put 4 weeks of training into 1 week.
2. lie It's not fair to me or her to say ya I am working out if I am not.
3. give it less than 100%. sitting on the treadmill doesn't do the same as walking on it and walking on it doesn't do the same as a jog and if my goal is to run a 5k in less than 30 min I'm not going to reach that goal by sitting on the treadmill.

What I need to do is.
1. jog to the corner and walk back twice. (2 miles) work up to jog both ways.
2. strength train more than just the weekend.
3. maintain something I can live with for the rest of my life. (Just because you can do it for a week doesn't mean you can do it forever.

So I'm sure you are all wondering how I feel today. Well Amber I am feeling great. See you in a month and I will be ready to kick it up 10%.

Did I say my daughter is going to school to be a designer and to be fit enough to wear her designs would be my dream. I will try to attach picture of dress she designed.
It has a protect of something so I can't turn it.

Time

I was laying in bed this morning thinking about life. You know the story, what you have done, what you want to do and how much time do you have to get it done. I am off to the gym for my first meeting with a gold's gym trainer today. So the first person I met with was talking about building muscle. He figured it would take a year to do this.
So here are my questions, Am I willing to commit? If I don't do it now I don't think I would ever get it done. When you start looking at your timeline you have to think, what have I done with my life and am I happy with it, what would I like to change, am I willing to do what it takes to make these changes and what is my plan.
You can't say I want to lose 100 pound, I am willing to do nothing different but I know if I take this magic pill the TV says it will happen. Let's see, the TV says take a pill, eat what ever you want and lose weight and I am telling you to you need to feed the body with nutrition and move it. Which one sounds easier? which one has worked for you in the past, is this the right time in your life to make some changes.
You know once in a while there are hidden side effects that will surprise you. I got an e-mail from someone that may change my life because they were reading my blog.
Say you start feeding the body following the 27 concepts, you start feeling better, you feel better, you start doing somethings you would of never done before and then the ball keeps rolling.
Note that I did not say you make a plan to lose 50 pounds and when you reach your goal your life will change. This would be wish and shit thinking.
What I said is that you start making smaller changes in your life and other things happen because of it.
I would love to be a speaker for weight loss groups but if I just sit in the house and wish for it I don't believe it will ever happen. So what I have done is, I wrote some working material, and I am putting together an idea of what I want to do with in the weight loss industry. What do you think about a retreat where you come for a week or a few days. You cook healthy, you go for walks, you do things, everything is related to your goal of health. You are surrounded with others that are also concerned about health. This is a thought. Will it happen just sitting doing nothing?
I think this could be the coolest bed and breakfast type thing.
As I think of this I keep falling back in the trap of I could have support meetings at my friends cafe but she sells food and I would be saying don't eat this or put 1/2 in a box. I want you to be out enjoying life not just making you whole life surrounded by eating. I have to keep thinking about this but it is time to get things done before I run out of time.
Here is a thought;

Me and my fat friends

It is a home party, You meet for 6 weeks at one of the peoples homes. Everyone get a book and you follow the plan. For the next 3 weeks you meet once a week then you skip to everyother week. This would span over 3 months and then you need to have another party, or it could keep going. Details.
You use your fat friends as your support system. You don't have to be fat to have a party all you have to do is have friends with a common goal of fighting fat. I should call it me and my fat fighting friends.
Well I better get something done today and my best to you.

It's all about me

I am sitting here having a cup of coffee relaxing thinking I should report on my progress. Well I am craving ice cream less. Maybe it was just a 50 year phase I was going through. Becca says people don't eat ice cream in Chicago like they do in WI. I think it has something to do with we buy it by the largest container for the money and then we have to keep eating it till it is gone. I think about behaviors like this. If we eat it at home we can control things better if we would just eat 1 serving. If we eat it out we or I should say I get what the special is and I'm thinking there are a few calories in something that starts with the word Carmel. Am I willing to give this up to get a 6-pack. no !! Sorry to the body building guys I follow I am willing to meet you 80% of the way a 4-pack.
Now what am I willing to do? I am excited to learn new workout moves. I should of got up and did some kettle bell but I didn't. I guess I need to check that would of, could of, should of card. I thought I was out of that group. They are such an accommodating group. Even if you are go.the wish club. I need to work harder at my membership to the get it done club.
I will be at the gym in the morning.
OH well I am making small progress and when the whole thing comes together I will put up a new profile picture. I need one crossing the finishline of a 5K with my spark friends.

Have a great day, think of your goals and strive to achive them.
