I have a lot of work to do.

So....I met with a personal trainer today, and well after some assesments, I have a lot of work to do. my new or should I say my long term goal is to lose 45lbs, WOW. However she said if I work out 5x a week, and up my strength training it is a realistic goal. Okay okay, so that is also if I work with her 3x a week for about 3 months. Do you know how much that would cost me. Almost a 1,000 a month. I know like she said, and a lot of people think, you can't put a price on your well being. Well I say "Yes you can when you can't afford it." It would be great if I could do that, and who know maybe I can. That is a months worth of childcare. Wow. Anyway, I do get 3 free sessions so that is a start. She gave lots of good pointer, and I just have to make myself go. A good website is www.thedailyplate.com it is a good place to track your calories. I was putting in some of mine, they have everything. McDonalds sweet tea, Austin brand Chedder cheese crackers, you name it...it is pretty much on there. It is free as well. She also told me that I have to eat at least 1200 calories a day, or our bodies go into starvation mode which, then our bodies hang on to every calorie and fat that we eat because it doesn't know when it will get more.

Tomorrow is day to with the personal trainer, it will be a full hour of workout so we will see where I am at tomorrow!
