Well, not really. We haven't actually started the program yet, but we met with our personal trainer today and got a fitness assessment and started to develop a good program to suit our needs. We both learned that our body fat is at an awesome percentage as well as our other measurements. So thats always a good thing. We will begin the program right before Thanksgiving. How appropriate! However, I am not so fond of how often we will be exercising. Four times a week. Now for those of you who know me, my "exercise" consists of walking, and maybe speed walking now and then, but thats it. I kind of foresee a struggle in the weeks ahead.. Now for my husband who has had several PT tests and keeps up with running a mile and a half all the time, this should be a piece of cake. Ohh cake thats a whole other story.
Last week we met with the nutritionist and to be completely honest she wasn't all too helpful. She saw the numerous cake, pie, cookies, and ice-cream entries in my food diary and really wasn't all too bothered by them. She said as long as I also take in fruits, veggies, and other "good for you" foods I should be fine. The personal trainer didn't really agree with this, but I sure do. Me not having to take away from my second love in life, sweet things.. now thats a dream come true. We will see how long this lasts, I am supposed to be watching my sugar intake.. so maybe having two or three pieces of cake or pie isn't the best way to do that. I am excited to start our program, but until then I do believe I will be taking advantage of my free time that does not involve exercising.
Are you guys still working out ?
