Last day of Personal Training

Yesterday was my last day of personal training. I had anticipated getting measured and weighed, but we decided to wait until Friday (to sweat out all of the sodium I had over the weekend in some delicious barbeque). 

So, in a couple of days I will have my two month results. Well, it will be more like 2.5 months. I have to forewarn, I don't think it will be anything to write home about. If I lost at least 2 more pounds I'll be surprised. Nothing really feels different - the clothes are not bigger, and that's the tell-tale sign. We shall see on Friday, but  don't wait with baited breath. I'm not.

I do have to say that I don't think it was a lack of hard work at the gym that contributed to my lack of weight loss. I honestly believe it's a combination of things. 1) I am not eating as well as I could be. I have a hard time sticking to a healthy diet. I could go on and on with excuses, but I won't waste your time listening to it. 2) As I get older, the metabolism changes, and so it's clear that losing weight is not going to be as easy as it was 10 year ago. 3) Years ago I was best friends with a little pill called Ephedra. It was a true miracle weight loss solution. However, some knuckle-heads abused it, killed themselves, and so it was banned by the FDA. Now, there seems to be nothing on the market that works as well. Believe me, I have tried most of them. So, losing weight naturally is slower, and not what I am used to.

Which leads me to my next revelation. I just purchased a weight loss supplement online that is supposed to be awesome. It should arrive in a few days. Believe me friends, I'll be posting my experience with it - the good, the bad, and the ugly. So, stay posted. For all of the folks shaking their heads in disapproval - I promise not to be stupid. I'll take it as directed and listen to my body. 

Some of you are probably asking if I plan to continue with personal training. At this point, I am not sure. It's expensive. And Cheryl has given me so much during my time with her that I can take with me into the weight room, when I'm not taking Body Pump or sculpting classes.

Maybe in the new year - can you believe 2010 is just a few months away? Almost time for another resolution...To be thinner than I was in 2009!
