It's true I DO want to reach my goal weight (135 pounds I am currently just shy of 150). I DO want a nice flat stomach with no trace of a muffin top whatsoever. I DO want smaller thighs that don't feel like they are going to rip every pair of jeans that I put on. The only problem, I don't know how to workout to achieve MY maximum desired results. I am just generally working out running, swimming, taking classes at the gym, etc. But what do I need to actually do day in and day out to ensure that these things do happen?
I mentioned in a previous blog about my friend Aaron inviting me to his gym called cross-fit. It is more of a personal training team type atmosphere with a nutritionist in house. I was seriously considering joining. This sounds like just what I need, a group of professionals that are going to train me to achieve my results, a team that is going through the same thing as me, camaraderie, a coach to tell me what to do! the only problem... it would cost me $100 every month. There is NO WAY I would be able to afford that, especially after looking at my finances in greater detail (currently I am making less money than it will cost to pay my bills each month... YIKES). Something I am considering is a personal trainer at the gym I go to. I would look into the pricing, and if it fit into my budget I would replace the rock climbing gym :( with the personal trainer. As much as I DO NOT want to cancel my rock climbing membership, I am just not using it enough....
Bottom line is.... something needs to be done on a more personal level for me to achieve ANY type of results! River in June... Hawaii next year... it is seriously time to crack down!!!

You should get a 9-5er. I am much more financially stable than when I worked at a restaurant because the money is always guaranteed to you every month and you know how much you are going to get EXACTLY so you can design your finances around it. You can always work some nights still at the restaurant if you need to. Just some advice, but it's up to you. Either way I hope you are able to work it out!
ReplyDeleteI'm broke too though. It sucks.
I know what you mean about being broke, and motivation, and wanting to have a hot body but not being willing to go out and go for it 100%. Sigh. We will work something out. Have you considered maybe instead of a personal trainer (which costs money) joining a group of people, like a running group or something? That might be cheaper and they will push you.
My plan is to stick with cheesecake for a while. I have been there over 4 years and I don't even want to think about entering the unstable work environment haha! Actually I will be teaching swim lessons during the day throughout the summer with the city. When the school season starts I am hoping to have a sub job that will take up my days.
ReplyDeleteAND.... I think I will opt out of the personal trainer go at it another route...
