Personal Training! Woohoo!

Well, this A-Z Commit to be Fit Challenge isn't going as well as I had  hoped.  Shit.  The first 2 weeks were great, but now I have several reasons as to why I'm not doing so hot.  My number one reason: I'm freaking tired.  My real job (the thing I do when I leave the house to get a paycheck) has been very draining lately.  I'm utterly exhausted.  2 more weeks until tax season is over!

In my sadness about not accomplishing my April goals, I researched our local gyms and personal training services and booked a consultation with a trainer named Candace.  I'm quite excited about this.  I have taken a couple of weekend courses to educate myself in personal training, but I've never actually had a trainer...personally.

A friend asked today what my goals were with this new personal training adventure.  I first said "strength" and then said "toning".  Weight loss wasn't even on my list.  I considered that an accomplishment in itself.  I really don't NEED to lose weight.  I'm a very healthy weight for my height and age.  I'm excited to get build some muscle and feel strong!

  1. You've taken courses in personal training? - Hope the teacher can take the teaching, if you know what I mean. Someone called Candace just has to look like one of those girls.

    1. Apparently, Candace has placed in body building competitions. I'm scared! ha ha! I took some weekend CLASSES I guess I should have said. I learned a lot, but then forgot it all. I think it's one of those things that you need to practice and DO all the time. I'm sure it will all come back to me throughout the training!

Feel the burn.

B is no longer for beer and I'm sad   I really should have thought this theme through a little bit more.  Words that start with B and are relative to my "commit to fit" challenge aren't the easiest to come by.  I've decided to go with " burn "  because I am already feeling it!! On Saturday I decided to terrorize exercise my core and upper body after my run.  DOMS set in late on Sunday and after an intense work out tonight, I dread laughing.    My commit to be fit challenge will include 3-4 strength training sessions per week in addition to my half marathon training program.  It's time to feel the burn !  Can you feel it?

April 1st marks the beginning of the A-Z Challenge .  I didn't exactly write out a plan for this challenge because I knew what my posts would be about: alcohol .  It was kind of a no brainer.   What I didn't expect was for my first post to be about abstaining from alcohol .   WHAT???
