Okay, I joined in August and hired a personal trainer who showed me how to exercise. I honestly was completely unprepared for physical fitness. I have always been too skinny and didn't need or want to work out. Now three kids later and 35 years old I am paunchy. I want my body back. I weight train and do cardio but I don't think I am doing enough of either to warrant 280.00 a month for a PT so...I canceled her. I am going to do it myself now that I know what I need to do. She says I need to lose 10 lbs and 10% body fat. That would take me down to 120 lbs and 20% body fat. I love having a goal and now that I am going 2 or 3 times a week it has become a habit. It is better than the smoking habit I have mostly given up so I am happy. I tend to be a little obsessive though and have been really hard on myself about my eating habits. As I hit my 30's I discovered my desires switched from sex and alcohol to food and sex...mostly food. The old saying goes "You didn't get this way overnight and you can't expect to change it overnight either" It is my mantra now.
