Hell Week

So, I began hell week at my gym on  Monday December 7, 2009.  I decided to give myself an early Christmas present this year, so I bought a personal trainer. The first week, they make you wear a 25lb weight vest while you are working out.  Let me tell you, that is not easy!  It is hard enough to go from not running much to running.  But when you add 25 extra pounds to you, it becomes quite the work out.  I tried to tell my personal trainer that I already had 25 extra pounds on me, but he did not fall for that!  He still made me wear the blasted vest.  But let me honestly tell you how rewarding it is at the end of the workout when it comes off.  I feel light as a feather. 
My goal is to do this the best way I can, and so I am watching what I am eating and then going to my personal trainer 5 days a week!  This week I am off to a good start.  I am down 2.5lbs.  Yea!!
