Ok well I did it. I had my first PT session with Jonathan today. It was a small group session with Me, Brenda and her sister n law. I must say i am both excited and disapointed (in myself). I really thought that i was a TINY INY itty bitty bit better then i showed today. I was truely about to kill over a couple of times.

i get to the park a few mins bf my session time, filled out an info form & talked to Jonathan about what i am kinda wanting from all this...then it was a half mile jog warm up. After that some stretching and the session started. We had running and wieghts and other "secret weapon stuff" lol that we all did. I swear that at the half way point i thought i was gonna throw up. I felt flushed and nauseas. As I was doing a few drills i was thinking "DANG fat girls arent suppose to be doing this stuff". We had a 2 mins break (suppose to be one but hey I was in the cornor deciding to up chuck or not) after the half way point i felt better. I felt like he was tough enough and yet able to really push and motivate me to keep going without being all "in yo face".

I was able to do everything and hang in there...ok so on the side shuffles i kinda did more like a wide step but then he got wise to it and turned around and faced us as we did them DARN IT! All i could think during it was "Man girl are you sure you wanna get your fat butt out here 3 days a week and do this CAN you?" and my answer at that moment was ...well nothing i could repeat. BUT as soon as it was over I felt great. i felt like I really challenged myself and accomplished something.

i am hoping that this will take my running to another level, tone me up and build my endurance. I have already made a friend who also come to Jonathan (Angelica) and she is very nice. She helped to keep me motivated too (She came during the last few mins of our work out).

So all that said am I REALLY going to go for PT? HECK YES i wouldn't have it any other way! Anyone intersted come check him out.

Over the past year I have tried to find a local PT and here is what happened......

#1 ~ This guy came highly recommended thru the Rec Center. I emailed a detailed email as to what my past was and what i wanted to accomplish (any of you who know me arent surprise to hear that lol). I waited, and Waited and waited and resent the email thinking Heck he is busy....NOTHING happened AT ALL

#2 ~ This Woman came reccomended as well thro the Rec. center a little weary I still met with her and talked to her about all the same stuff as mentioned above. Seemed nice and signed a contract. Paid hundereds to meet with her. Well we met the first time it was great....After that she was late several times (15 mins to 30 mins), had to cancel a couple of times and was a no call no show 1 time. NEEDLESS to say i talked with her and got my money back. She did DO the RIGHT thing But still it was a huge let down.

So here i am a year later and on Trainer #3...i have a good feeling about JP....Only time will tell :)

So Till Thursday
Keep Runnin,
Melissa


Thanks Jonathan!
