Sorry for the lack of posts over the last month. I was sick for a few weeks, got that awful flu that was going around and now have a cough that will not go away!
Since I wasn't feeling 100%, I wasn't going to the gym until I felt a lot better. This past Thursday I had another appointment with a new trainer at the gym. The Y had called my roommate and I to see how our experience at the gym was going. My roommate said that everything was good for her, and I complained about the crappy trainer that I had my first visit. I wasn't rude when I spoke to the supervisor, I just explained that I had hoped for a lot more, and she agreed that it was not what I should have received. She set me up with a new trainer to give me the experience that I should have received originally.
WOW - what a difference! This new trainer sat down and talked to me about what I liked to do at the gym, what I didn't like to do. She took into account that I also walk Louie everyday, and that my hour walk will count as my cardio (which I can log into Fitlinxx at home). I was so happy with the new trainer. She went over all the machines with me again, and had me lifting more weight, and changed the position of the seats, etc. She even said "I don't know what ### was thinking...." So, it wasn't just me. She showed me a new ab workout on the mat (which I had requested with the other trainer, and she just said, use the machine for that). So, I'm really looking forward to working out and seeing some results! My short-term goal with my new trainer is to lose 10 pounds. Since the New Year, I have lost 6 pounds, and have been holding at that for the past month or so. So, I am really looking forward to the scale moving this coming week! The new trainer has asked for us to get together in another 5 - 6 weeks to see how I am doing and change up the program and add some more machines to my curcuit. :)
I will keep you posted with regards to my workouts and weight-loss!
