Week 1

Finally, it's Friday. This week has been so busy and I can't wait to enjoy my weekend. Today, my trainer, David, pushed me more than I expected. I hated him while I was in the gym, but when i got in my car to go home, I felt great about the workout. I can tell he really cares about my progress. I've had a hard time eating this week, and David got on me about it today. It's really hard to eat 5 times a day when you're constantly on the move. I think that says a lot about why I ate so much fast food... it's a very easy solution to hunger when you're on the move. I'm still working on finding quick, easy ways to eat, but David assured his help.

On Tuesday and Thursday, I got a little discouraged from some looks my group was receiving from this group of 3 guys in the gym. I just had to remind myself of why I was there. It's crazy that people think it's ironic that overweight people are in the gym; where else should they be? It's important to encourage people, not gawk at them when they're working toward something positive.

Anyway, tomorrow is an optional day, but I'm pretty sure I'm going. The past 5 days have been pretty rewarding. I actually find myself getting excited about going to the gym, formerly known as Hell.
