craziness...

       ho. ly. crap. i just had my ass thrashed by a really sexy red head. and i mean in the good way. no, not that good. get your mind out of the gutter. it was my first personal training session ever. didn't really know what to expect, but i tried to be all tough and manly in hopes of not looking like a complete fool, but of course he saw through it. he was intense and energetic and he got me to do things for him that i wouldn't even do to myself. felt like he squeezed it all into about fifteen minutes, but it was definitely the fastest hour ever. and despite barely being able to complete the exercises he had me do (and we only used weights once the entire time)... i had fun. and i can do it all again for the low low price of $99/session. he probably is worth it, though. it's cheaper for a group, if i want to make a fool of myself in front of a few other people besides him. but he gave me some pretty solid advice. even did a basic body composition test with a computer. like i really needed that. he had me lift up my shirt in public(!!!) so he could pinch my fat. but he didn't ask, he told me to do it. haha. so i did. oh lordy. i have a long way to go. but one thing that was really helpful was that he was my size. well, except buff and with abs. he asked me what my goals were and i said, "well, about like you." muscular, but not too big, and lean. at the end he sat me down and said that 80% of what i need to do is nutrition. i have to lose about 16 pounds of nastiness, but ultimately gain an additional 7 pounds on top of my current weight. and that i had to stick to the free weights. grrrr.

       i'm having an apple dusted with ginger and smeared with peanut butter (cottage cheese on the side) for supper, in his honor (get it? ginger!?).

       oh yeah, and i got to go to my office today. i'll just be doing a lot of computer training for about the next week (and this before the real training begins). but i think i'm going to like it. the people seem really fun. i did feel a little hopelessly like the new guy. but i am. and i won't be forever. definitely overwhelmed right now, though. and i hurt, not only from the workout, but from the myriad of immunizations i had to get this morning. ouch. they turned my shoulders into mush, which didn't help with the workout, i'm sure. but ryan (trainer) still showed no mercy. yes, i told him.

       so much to do. i feel like i haven't had time to sit and breathe in ages, even though i'm kinda doing it right now. just so much to do. and it's already 9pm and i have to shower and start thinking about tomorrow. and i have to set up my fantasy baseball team for the week. craziness.
