My First Training Session

Tonight was my first full training session with my fitness trainer, Andrew.  He turned out to be awesome!  We discussed my goals and how motivated I am to obtain those goals.  I told him I will do what he tells me both in the workouts and eating to the best of my ability in order to obtain the goal that I have in mind.  He was excited about the fact that I am willing to listen and do what he tells me.  He got a sense that I am really visualizing my final goal and excited to get there, which he is correct about...I want this very badly for my physical and mental health.  That being said, he tells me that he is sure we can put on about 1lb a week, but he thinks that with my size and dedication, he can pack on 2lb a week.  Basically that would be about 4 months of complete and utter hell to obtain my goal and all I have to say to that is...sign me up!!!  If I could even be close to my goal by summer and better yet Pride, that would be so amazing.  I really got a good feeling from Andrew and I think he knows what he is talking about and not just feeding me a load of crap.  I am putting my body and a crap load of money (since I bought 50 training sessions) in his hands.

Tonight we did leg exercises which consisted of squats, walking lunges and leg curls.  Let me tell you, my legs are like to long wet noodles.  I was barely able to make it up the stairs to get changed when I was finished with the session.  I haven't felt that in ages and I have to say, I have really really missed it.  I told Andrew that and that got him excited about our sessions.  He says that is the sign of someone who wants it bad and is willing to do what it takes.  I hope he is right and I hope I am up to the level he expects each time.  We are going to discuss food and the workout plan next session (this Saturday).  He showed me how many calories I would probably have to consume to achieve my goal and it comes to about 3650-3700 calories a day.  I am going to be eating almost all day long HAHA.  But if that is what I need to do, bring it on!  I haven't been this excited about working out ever.  Now I am going to lay down and hope I can get up tomorrow and get to work without having to crawl there .
