Starting Plan B Week 1 (3) day trial

Jeff from Horizons called on 3/22, from me to come in to learn more go over the program, in detail. I went and Jeff sat with me for 2 hours to go over everything, and we had great conversation, about what they can do for me, what i was looking for and i left feeling pretty good about this being "it". I left and started telling everyone this was my plan B. Then the questions started of "when are you starting?" I couldn't answer them. It was too hard for me to make that decision of when. I am glad i did not have to, Jeff called on Monday and said I am starting on Wednesday for my 3 day free tryout at 5:30 am with Kristin and if i like it I can sign up on Saturday. I was thrilled, he gave me my start date.

3/23/10...Went out to buy work out clothes.

3/24/10. waking up seemed to be easy, got ready, there before 5:30. 4 minutes to drive there! Awesome..Went in met Kristin and knew right off the bat she was so nice, read to go, we chatted a little got to know one another a little. I left my Biggest Loser 9 page application with them to read to get to know a little more about me too. Day 1 weigh in 283 BMI 51, weight of fat to lose 140 lbs. REALITY, YIKES, I want to be 140 pounds, I know what it feels like to be 140 lbs for goodness sakes! Upper body work out tough, nice Kristin right next to me doing reps, pushing. went home, my arms were so sore I could hardly hold the hairdryer up to dry my hair.

3/25/10. woke up scratchy throat, ignored it. Cardio, treadmill. Kristin changing the speeds up and down, up and down. I asked her if i would be running by the end of the 12 weeks...she said "I am sure", never knowing I was going to be in a full jog for my last minute which took me by surprise. It was a long ass 60 seconds, but i made it.

3/26/10 5:30 Full blown sore throat, staying home and resting. Today lower body workout. I was sure this was going to be easier since i feel my legs are stronger than my upper body, and my legs do hold up a lot of weight, but no, on top of getting a horse cramp in the middle of a set...the next morning I couldn't even walk, My calfs were KILLING me, I couldn't straighten my legs all day and I felt pain I never experienced!

3/27/10 Woke up sick and coughing. But still went officially signed up for 12 weeks on Saturday. Costs a lot of money but what a difference...i cold never get this much out of a workout by myself, she is there pushing me motivating me, we get along, laugh, have things in common. She wants me to succeed, and will help me get there. Plus we are alone, if I want to scream in agony, I could. She is great, I feel great, besides this pesty cough. Rest the rest of the weekend!

Monday first full week, Monday we go over nutrition
