Ch-ch-ch-changes

This past weekend, I took advantage of the one free personal training session that I received when I joined L.A. Fitness several months ago. And dammit if that club didn’t manage to dig their hooks in a little deeper to me! Now I will admit I know a “sell” when I see one and this kid was a hell of a salesman, but I can also smell bullshit behind a sell and I just didn’t smell it here. He was the GM of personal training for the club, really knew what he was talking about and didn’t seem to be feeding me giant spoonfuls of crap. He talked a lot about the reasons behind why we were doing this exercise or that one. He explained why the training schedule was set up the way it was, involved definitions of how the body processes exercise, etc. He was willing to help set up a cardio routine I could do on my own at that mystical target heart rate and was willing to go over my food journal to see what changes I could make there. He seemed to be a straight shooter and we all know Lucas loves her straight shooters! And so, after an intense workout that rocked my little world, and a bunch of back and forth questions & explanations, I decided to start training at L.A. Fitness and leave my little private gym and previous personal trainer behind. Honestly, I’m not where I was hoping to be after this year and a half of training with her and I would really like to give my all these next 10 weeks leading up to my birthday. (Which by the way I do not see as a finish line, just a MAJOR goal along the way). Not only that, but the club can save me close to $100.00 a month in training fees so that will be good too. I’m excited about this next step and hope that I am able to get in even better shape than where I am right now. I have my last training session with my current trainer on Thursday and then I have my complete physical evaluation with my new trainer on Friday. Starting next week, I’ll be on a different workout routine and hopefully, back to dropping those pounds. So that’s the news for Tuesday! Hope everyone out there is doing well!
