Well, I survived my first session at the gym....probably because we didn't workout really except to calculate our anerobic heartrate or whatever it is called. So I am not sure how hard the workouts are going to be but let me say the nutrition part just might kill me!!!
So the session started by getting weighed, measured and pinched. Then we did the heartrate thing on the treadmill and then we met with the nutrition lady....she proceeded to give us a folder. In it was our current weight, current BMI (mine was 26.26 which means I am "overweight" , Goal weight (holy crap it is 18lbs less than i weigh now) and our meal plans (yikes i am on a 1500 calorie meal plan) Then she starts explaining how to read our meal plans and serving sizes of portions etc. We have to write down everything we eat in a journal and we meet with the nutritionist once a week and if we forget the journal or don't write in it we oh her a dollar!!! So i get home last night and I am trying to figure out to calculate everything and I am so confused!!! Weight watchers is so much easier. I am going to have to ask lots of questions, the trainer and nutritionist gave us their phone numbers and e-mails so they will be accessible to us at all times.
So basically the program consists of working out 3 x a week for an hour and once a week meeting with the nutritionist following our workout. It is a 3 month program and attendence is expected every session. We get weighed again in 2 weeks and then half way through they weigh us and measure us again. Should be interesting...if i stick to it, it should work.........
Okay and here is the worst part...since this is through a local radio station, it is 3 DJ's and me and one other "normal" girl. So we all get there yesterday and in addition to the Dj's is a CAMERA MAN!!!! My DJ partner failed to mention that part, so here I am looking like CRAP, no makeup, overgrown eyebrows!!! The other girl (who is my TOTAL opposite tall, thin (maybe has to loose 10 lbs and ver outgoing) is all cutesy in her weird pink hat and pigtails and a ton of makeup!!!! So they shot video and I am assuming it will be posted on the stations website......HOW EMBARRASSING!!!
Oh well, I guess it will make me look that much better in the end right? I will keep you posted with my progess, we will see how the workouts go tomorrow. The trainer seems really nice but I am sure she is going to push us...which is good........
Stay tuned.......
Oh and poor Izzy, I took her back to the Dr yesterday because she was really crabby and her cough was just horrible...turns out she has an ear infection and Kroup (sp?) Poor kid!!! So we got an antibiotic and a steriod...poor baby!! Hopefully by tomorrow she will be back to her usual self.......

Colds are totally going around this time of year. Temperance's cough lasted a while too! Hope Izzy feels better soon.
The whole workout/nutrition thing is awesome! People pay top $$ for that kind of "boot camp". I'd do it for sure, even being followed by a camera :) What a fun thing for you, and in the end, I'm sure you will be so happy you did it.
