Here we go again!

So now that it's the end of July, I've gained weight (not lost) and summer is about over, I am FINALLY getting back into the weight loss thing and I am SO excited! I know I know you've heard it before but just listen! I weighed myself to see how much I've gained only to be saddened by the number. I knew I gained weight, I could feel it, so I wasn't too shocked by what I saw but I was really annoyed with myself. I haven't been that heavy since my early college years. Now, mind you, when I started this whole want to lose weight thing I was weighing in at 128-132lbs, not that bad! NOW? ha ha I weighed 137lbs. :'( Not only did I gain weight I gained 5-9lbs UGH!!! ANYWAY, here's the turning point and the best part of the story! I picked myself up an AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME trainer! No, she doesn't work at a gym! She actually has a real education! I sat down with her on Saturday morning and we talked about me and weight loss... I asked her question and then we got started working out. A quick background...in the past I'd work out at the gym for 2-3 hours a day with absolutely NO results! Yes, I lost weight but I want to look more fit and that never happened! I left feeling tired but never feeling like I just got a really good workout, I was never EVER sore! I just thought my body was used to working out and that's why I wasn't ever sore and I tried really hard! OK back to working out with the trainer. She started me on some basic lunges, squats, and arm exercises. Sadly I got nauseous (I don't understand that, I've NEVER felt like I was going to throw up while working out, NEVER) so we quit a little early but I have to tell you that in the 20-25 minute work out I felt like I worked out more than I ever felt in the 2-3 hours I worked out before. And I've been sore ever since! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! Here is the other part. I have a Weight Watchers scale that I just purchased a little while ago. I hid it because I was becoming obsessed with weighing myself. After 2 days of diet and exercise I decided to weigh myself. SILLY ME!!! I wanted to see how off our scales were... (I should have done that when I got home from working out with her) anyway, I was excited to see that the scale dropped from 137 to 134. Now I KNOW that could just be the scale and nothing else but I will TAKE IT! It motivated me to keep going because, let's be honest, diet is NOT easy!!! I haven't been perfect but I've been trying! THEN today I wanted to see if it was just a fluke that I weighed 3 lbs less and was expecting to step on the scale and it say 134- 137 again BUT drum roll please!!! When I stepped on that lovely scale of mine I weighed even less!! It sang to me when it said 132lbs. NOW AGAIN!! I know it could just be the scale BUT I weighed myself at the same time the last two weigh ins and in exactly the same attire as the very last one so I KNOW that I've lost at least 2 lbs!! I'm excited to see what my trainer's scale says! I LOVE this feeling! I'm losing weight cause I'm eating healthier and that's been my goal... so so long isagenix, thanks for helping me lose weight last summer and HELLO to healthy eating, it will help me stay skinny forever!!!! It's harder than you can believe but it will get easier and I LOVE seeing the drop in weight, even if it is only 2 lbs! I LOVE my trainer, the help she gave me with my diet was simple. I thought it was going to be so hard to eat right... and I might not be eating very healthy YET but slowly I'll work my way up to a really stricked diet and then it won't feel so much like a real diet. I feel so excited. I go to see my trainer again tomorrow! I'm REALLY EXCITED! So stay tuned, this is the real thing!! (oh and I took before pictures the other day- and I'm going to take more before pictures so that I can post them, but they won't be posted until I have some after pictures to show you... after meaning I look a little better!!)
