So lately I have really been focusing on my diet and exercise to gear up for the big wedding day! (Only 4 months away!!!) Recently I have made the decision to try a personal trainer. Now... I go to the gym 3-4 times a week as it is. I take spinning and weight training classes, as well as hit the treadmill. I also understand the difference between good, nutritious food and garbage. And for the most part I do pretty well with my diet, although I do enjoy me some garbage from time to time. So the idea of adding another 1-2 days a week of high intensity, high cardio, heavily focused weight training did not sound all too appealing. Regardless, I bit the bullet, and the hefty price tag and signed on the dotted line.
So today was my first meeting with the trainer. We focused on upper body strength. All in all I did pretty well and left the gym in high spirits. Currently, as I type this posting I cannot lift my arms any higher than my shoulders... no really, I can't. After the session Kevin and I ran a little 3 mile jaunt... where he proceeded to push, push, push me along, in a good way.
I must say, even though my whole body is in pain right now I appreciate the boost in support. Yet again is another example of moral support at its finest. This wedding is one of the most important days of my life. I am so excited to start this adventure and I want to start it feeling better about myself and my body. I look forward to the seeing the results! -Cassie
