My fitness quest is still on track and I'm loving every sweaty moment at the gym. I've gained four pounds since I started working out with the my trainer about 6 weeks ago! For me, that is a ton of weight. It took me four years to gain six pounds in high school. Then as a freshman in college, I gained three over the course of several months. I've been losing or maintaining weight ever since. I am happy to report I can now give blood and I'm well on my way to my fitness goals. I still have about 7 more pounds I would like to gain, but the most important thing is I feel much better about my physical appearance.
Every couple of weeks I meet with my awesome trainer Sarah. She's friendly, nice, smart, and all about pushing me in all the right ways. She challenges me without giving me anything that's so hard I want to quit, although I sometimes feel like I'm about to fall over. I can make it through my workout routine in a pretty timely manner as well which also helps. She even checks up on me in between sessions by checking the log books. She knows if I'm actually at the gym or not. And believe me I'm there! I try to go at least every other day, sometimes more. I feel so good about myself physically and mentally. I've been struggling with my self-esteem for quite sometime, especially when it comes to the looks department. Going to the gym has helped to give me some of my confidence back. I still have a long way to go, but I love trying to get there. Every. Single. Day.
