Dear Unhealthy Me,
I have now survived 10 full weeks of working out with a personal trainer. While every day is challenging, the first few weeks were definitely the hardest. I would really prefer to never see you again, as I have worked my butt off (literally!) to get where I am today. 1 1/2 to 2 hours a day in the gym, with cardio and abs until I think I will catch on fire from the burn. I still have a long ways to go, but the results are starting to show. Plenty of inches off, down 2 pant sizes, and the weight is starting to drop off as well. Cholesterol down from 325 to 160 (with the help of some meds), and blood pressure back in the normal range!
Remember how depressed you were when others were losing weight and you were making excuses? You know....too busy, too tired, too stressed, etc. I could go on. That was not a good place to be. Trust me when I tell you that the way you felt about yourself was DEFINITELY worse than getting up at 5:15 to get to the gym for a workout!
I love my personal trainer, Jess. About 6 weeks in, you started to show up in my attitude. The weight wasn't dropping off like I had hoped. I wanted to just give up. Jess stepped in and gave you the smack-down you deserved! Having her there to help me get rid of you for good has been wonderful. Trust me when I tell you that if you show up again, she can and WILL put the hurt on you. :-)
Do me a favor...get lost. Actually, get GONE...I don't ever want to find you.
Your Healthier Self,
Susan
