Bubba stopped me on my way into the gym yesterday and wanted to train me for an hour but I told him that I was on my way into spin class. He asked me to come back after class and talk to him. So I did.
Turns out it was a bit of a sales pitch and he wants me to buy into their personal training program. Hmmm, I see. So we talked a bit about my fitness goals and my history with training and exercise and then he asked me to come in tonight at 6pm for a workout.
I knew going into this whole thing that he was going to try to pitch me on a $140 training program working out with their trainers once a week. Oh wow. For that much money I could do a lot of stuff, and frankly I am not that impressed with the trainers I see on the floor when I'm coming to and from spin classes.
Yes, I want to get back to training... I need to begin weight lifting more. I need to build up my muscle mass to help me burn calories and fat and get myself back into good shape. I need to focus more on my core and my upper body instead of letting them get their entire workout at spin class. Today, I go forward, but not with Bubba.
Side note: In Making the Cut is going pretty well and I'm getting to try LOTS of new recipes. The book says I should be eating cottage cheese. I have always been kind of iffy about the way cottage cheese looks, so I've shied away from it. But today I found "small curd" cottage cheese. I had it with strawberries for dessert and it was pretty good! It's kind of like cream cheese only lumpy and more watery. But still, I was impressed. it's not sour like yogurt which was really, really nice.
