I posted in my journal that I signed up for a fitness study. Here I am going to post my progress. Several years ago I got pretty sick... Had a major lung infection for 8 months and ended up being on prednisone which is a steroid for nearly a year. Before getting sick I was a size 8 16% body fat and pretty physically fit. After that year I ended up being 200lbs a size 14 and 40% body fat. No good. So I finally decided to put my mental issues aside and do this study. A gym near by where I live is taking people who are at least 20lbs overweight in the age range of 25-65 and setting them up with a personal trainer to train them 3 days a week for 3 weeks. I was a little nervous and apprehensive at first but now I think I can do this. I got weighed and measured today and had my first workout. I actually felt better afterwards. The whole time I was walking to the gym my own mind kept trying to phsych me out and doubt filled my mind. On the walk home, tired as I was I felt renewed and realized that I can do this. I'm looking foward to completing my 3 weeks and doing my weight, measurements, and body fat test and seeing how well I do. I will be posting here how each session goes. My next one will be on Thursday. Oh and if you read my journal you will know you will know that any encouragement you can send my way will be so helpful to me because I know my brain is going to continue to try and phsych me out all through these 3 weeks. I am my own worst enemy.
