So I did what every normal overweight person does before the beginning of a new life, but few admit to... I woke up this morning and had my favorite ice cream and when I got home, I had some more. I ate my Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies on my way over and then walked in his doors, ready to begin... in my pj bottoms of all things, which was all I had on hand. I need to pick up some decent work out clothes tomorrow.
Mat believes in using your own weight to create a cardio, weight strengthening program all in one. I will meet with him every two weeks and learn more about fitness and nutrition as I try to develop new lifetime habits. An affordable answer for a personal trainer. I weighed, he measured, I swore. I have a hard time not jumping in with everything I have, but I am learning that effort is not sustainable and I have fizzled out in the past. He gave me just two assignments for the next two weeks
1. Eat Breakfast, with protein and a serving of fish oil
2. Make a list of my short and long term goals
When all is said and done, the turtle won the race didn't he? How old was that turtle?

for what it is worth...though you are flirting with fifty, i think you are fun and fabulous!
Way to go! You do have a tendency to go extreme in things....so take it easy and develop lifetime habits. Good luck with your trainer; sounds like he's motivating you and will help you be accountable. I can't help with the FAILING economy, but in my eyes you are FABULOUS and FIFTY!
Oh Brenda how I love your FACE! Your are a persistent one, keep it up :)
Guess what-I hit the big FIVE-O two years ago and it's actually okay.....
