training...

It wasn't what I expected, working with a personal trainer. As I mentioned before, the only stories I had heard about personal trainers were total horror stories and scared me to my core! I was unsure about the costs of using a trainer. But after a few minutes my brain was smart enough to see that the long-term benefits were going to far outweigh the monetary costs! Besides, I had all this hard-earned cake money.... Why not spend it on something important? Me!

getting started...

While I have always considered myself to be and active person - running, dancing, playing soccer, engaging in all kinds of crazy workout videos, etc. - I got to a point where I hit a wretched plateau. It's as if the strength I knew I had in the inside just wasn't matching up with how I looked on the outside. Knowing that made me feel frustrated, down, and hard on myself for not doing "enough".
