It's FRIDAY!
I lived. The hardest part was taking the measurements. We have a set schedule and I am ready for a beating. By August, I will be in tip top shape. :)

It's almost a new week.
Tomorrow Madi and I are volunteering to help at the concession stand during the Rangers game. They are predicting a sold out game and we need to be there 3 hours prior to game in order to set everything up. Can you believe that?? It's a huge fundraiser for the band, and we have to fill all spots for the home games or we have to pay them back a portion of the earnings.
Monday is a make up game for Haley's tee ball team. It's her last tee ball game. In the fall, most of the girls on her team will move up to the machine pitch league. She is so happy to move up, I think she was getting a bit bored with tee ball. I can't believe she has been playing for three seasons already. Time really flies.
Thursday is the first meeting with trainer Jeff. I have to fill out a profile booklet and bring it in with me, then we will take measurements, and then there's a short fitness assesment that I will have to do to make sure I won't fall over dead in the gym. I didn't have a problem filling out the booklet. Basically it asks you about family history, your concerns, goals, etc. Pretty harmless. I am absolutely in denial about my measurements...and the weight gain. I don't want to know the exact numbers. Before I was pregnant with Madison I was 34-29-36. I know I'm not there anymore, do we need to be any more specific than that?? I dont' think so. :)
On Friday, Madison has her first band banquet to attend. She is very excited to go. I am sure there will be a million pictures taken. In a week's time she will be a SOPHOMORE in high school. I am also in denial about this.
Have a great week. I will let you know if I am still alive on Friday.

Yikes!!
I got a call from the fitness coordinator at the YMCA. The lady that I requested is no longer with my YMCA. So...she asks "would you mind working out with Jeff? He has just finished classes for the summer and he would be able to accomodate the early morning time frame."
Let me make sure I heard you correctly. Do I, the aging and overweight mother of four, want to work out with Jeff? The male fitness trainer that just finished his spring semester?? Of course not. Why would I have a problem with that??
Maybe I should try binging and purging...it would be a lot less embarassing.

GULP!
Well, I did it.
This morning I went to the YMCA and handed them a check for 8 personal training sessions. I did this before when Rebecca was a toddler and it helped me to get back into a regular exercise routine. I lost 21" from head to toe, and several dress sizes too. '
It's exactly what I need right now, and I am scared to death. I am so much bigger than I was back then and I am afraid that I am too far gone to get the same results. I was teary on the way home.
Please say a prayer for me. I need the accountability of someone waiting for me at the gym. I need someone to tell me to stop being a quitter. I need encouragement from someone who's been through the same struggles with food and weight.
