I’ve been going to the gym about 5 times a week for the last 3 months. One might think I would have a little more visible progress to show for it. It’s frustrating. I won’t go into the laundry list of all the things I am doing to try and get in shape, but just the fact that there is a laundry list is frustrating.
So last night I had a follow up meeting with Mimi, my trainer from the gym. She and I had some training sessions earlier this month. I knew she was going to try and push for more sessions eventually. As I’m sitting there listening to her go on about the different things we could try I finally decided that I couldn’t go into this photo shoot feeling like I didn’t do everything I possibly could. So fine, 5 more sessions. One last push to try and tone my arms and belly.
She took my measurements again and as expected there were some small changes. Some were a bit unexpected. Arms and legs were essentially the same. I lost about a half inch on my hips only to relocate it to my chest! What the Hell?!?!?!?! I lost about a half inch from my waist too.
So I have yoga, weight lifting classes that I recently added and now 5 more sessions with Mimi. If that wasn’t enough, she also would like for me to go to another class: Boot Camp. Hmmm….don’t know about that one. The last thing I want is someone yelling at me. Still, it looks like it’s only once a week, so that could work. Honestly, how do people do this all the time and enjoy it? It feels like an entire second life. If I’m not at work chances are I’m at the gym.
In other news, can I tell you how much I hate ordering clothes online? I have sent back yet another pair of Capri pants that don’t fit. Finally yesterday I decided to abandon the idea of the capris and try to find shorts instead. Found some sailor style ones on Ebay. I know I’m still ordering online, but I have to give this one more shot. As we are approaching the last 6 weeks, I have yet to finalize my outfit for the car. I really wanted capris, but I guess I have to let that one go. I tried a couple of skirts, but it just seems a little too formal for the car shots. Besides, since I already have a dress picked out, I wanted something more casual. So let’s see if these shorts are the answer. At this point I am starting to get a bit nervous about the time…
