My First Workout

Hey Everyone!

As of today I am 276.6 pounds.My goal is to lose 100 pounds in 2011.

I wanted to let you all know I am starting with a personal trainer this month. Today was my first workout. (I've workout before but haven't been to the gym in about 6months or longer.) I have never had a personal trainer. I did not have my trainer with me today but he told me I had to get to the gym twice this week. I had to workout on an elliptical for 35-40 minutes.Let me preface this by saying I HATE THE ELLIPTICAL!!! It is my least favorite machine. I normally would get on one and try it for maybe a minute and a half and stop. I felt so silly . I felt my legs weren't working right. I also don't like the treadmill. That is probably the lazy fat girl in me but I couldn't help it.

I went to LAFitness around 4:30 P.M. and dropped off the kids (that I nanny for)  in the kids klub. I am very lucky my employer lets me go to the gym on the clock. She also pays for the kids klub so I can take them and not worry about it.  I went in search of an elliptical machine and couldn't find one! I smiled a bit thinking "haha I got out of it!"  I did find a crossramp though. Which is like an elliptical but doesn't have the separate arm handles that move with the legs. I got on and my legs weren't going the way I wanted them to. I wanted to stop and quit like I always do. I didn't though. I kept on going. I made to 5 minutes and my legs started working. I couldn't believe it! I was so excited. I was rocking out to the few pumping jams I have on my phone. I just kept on going...next thing I knew I had gone 20 minutes. Wow! I finished my 37 minutes in no time! I could have gone for more but I was under a time crunch having to the kids home and get them fed. I was on the clock after all. :) My official time was 37:11 mins. I made 3788 strides. I burned 260.6 calories. I went 2.62 miles. That is the most I've done in such a long time! I felt so good afterwards! I miss this feeling it is so amazing!

Well thanks for reading I hope to show you all my results through the next couple months!
