Day 1 (2012): Back to the beginning

Here I go again, but with a whole new attitude and routine. New gym, a personal trainer, a motivator/workout buddy, a best bud who is my cheerleader and a mission.

So it begins...

Physical assessment by Robert
70 minute torture session (which really wasn't that bad)
Glutes ache and I feel great!

Major problem: Do I sign up for the Personal Trainer full time?  Lifetime Fitness requires a 12-week commitment.  2 sessions per week, 1 hour each, 8 per month, 3 months.  Yikes that's a lot of money for someone unemployed.

Decisions, decisions...
