Just so you know…

I’m secure enough in my manliness to admit that I got my butt kicked by a girl this morning.

My membership at the gym comes with a free consultation and workout with a personal trainer.  I did my consultation last Monday, but we didn’t have time to do the workout at that time.  So today, I did my workout.  Let me tell you, I have a whole new respect for the people on The Biggest Loser (well, respect for their physical efforts; the Blue Team really has me wondering about their mental capacity).  I’ve always known that getting healthy will be hard work, and I’ve worked hard on my own, but nothing like this.  It was really an eye-opener for me to see what I’m going to have to do to get things done.

I’m heading to Texas for a week on Friday, but starting on Monday, March 23, I will be meeting with the trainer twice a week.  I’m really looking forward to learning the science behind exercise and nutrition and everything else that needs to work together for me to meet my goals.  I have always been better at doing things when I understand WHY I am doing them, so I think the more I learn about how the body works and reacts to different things, the easier it will be for me to make the right choices.

So today was a big (and painful and expensive) step on my road to being Half the Man.  Woohoo!
