My first day with a personal trainer! - GoFuckYourself.com

Brad Mitchell · 12-06-2006, 07:14 AM

I was angry yesterday morning so I drove around to three gyms until it 'felt right' and then I bought a membership, interviewed a trainer and made my first appointment for today.

The ass kicking started at 7:30 and I nearly passed out at about 7:55. I got dizzy, almost puked. I thought I was going to stroke out or something, I actually recall not being able to hear very well.

I am doing this five days a week now until I have a 30 inch waist again. Today though, instead of drinking and smoking at a bar until midnight like last night or only having one and a half meals yesterday, three red bulls and no water for the whole day I think I'll go about things differently.

Early mornings and ab workouts are my antichrist. Should we start a betting pool on how long I last? I might be willing to put some money down on that! I've been skating on 'wearing my clothes well' for far too long and despite having gym memberships for the last ten years have never used them but once a year. I still have a membership at Lifetime Fitness, Melissa works out there, but I picked this other gym because it's between work and home and I figured I needed to make the experience my own.

I did the same until 2 weeks ago

Hope you get to your goals! Man I have to have the discipline to do abs every morning, always to lazy for that in the early hours

Good luck!

I also almost gave up gambling so no bet from me

Butrflied · 12-06-2006, 07:23 AM

Good Luck! For my birthday this year I got a trainer .. it was awesome, kicked my butt, I was eating healthier and had tons of energy. Then we bought a house last month, and moved this month, and went to an all inclusive resort for a week .. I hate putting it off but I think I'm better off waiting until after the holidays to hire a new trainer in my new town

Martin · 12-06-2006, 07:36 AM

Happened to me once.. Was working out, got dizzy and yacked my guts out all over the place. It was awesome!

Good luck bro.

Sharky · 12-06-2006, 07:56 AM

Good for you Brad!
Just make sure you make it a routine. As long as it is a routine you will never stop, just like how you wake up, brush your teeth, etc. I go every morning after droping my daughter off at school. the routine helps BIG TIME!

pimplink · 12-06-2006, 08:00 AM

Working out can be quite an experience. Stick with your goals!

just have to remember to take it off at the same speed it went on or you could colapse of heart troubles

Brad Mitchell · 12-06-2006, 09:31 AM

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I'm looking forward to actually making it through an hour tomorrow without getting sick, hopefully

One day at a time...

Dear Diary...

For my fortieth birthday this year, my husband (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local gym for me. Although I am still in great shape since my track and field days some 25 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try.

I called the gym and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Damon, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. My husband seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The gym encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.................

Monday:
Started my day at 6:00 am. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Damon waiting for me. He is something of a Greek god - with blond hair, seductive eyes, and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!! Damon gave me a tour and showed me the machines. He took my pulse after five minutes on the treadmill and was alarmed that it was so fast, but I attribute it to standing next to him in his gym top and bulging shorts. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which he conducted his aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring. Damon was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time he was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!!

Tuesday:
I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door. Damon made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air - then he put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. Damon's rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT!! It's a whole new life for me.

Wednesday:
The only way I can brush my teeth is by putting the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was okay, as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I ran over the gym manager in the parking lot. Damon was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members. His voice is a little too perky for this early in the morning and when he scolds, he gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying. My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so he put me on the stair monster. Why the hell would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Damon told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. He said some other shit, too.

Thursday:
Damon was waiting for me with his vampire-like teeth exposed as his thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late; it took me that long to tie my shoes. Damon took me to work out with dumbbells. When he was not looking, I ran and hid in the women's change room. He sent Cheryl to find me, then, as punishment, put me on the rowing machine - which I sank.

Friday:
I hate that bastard Damon more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, masochistic, gym-jock. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat him with it. He wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the goddamn barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich. (Which I am sure you learned in the sadist school you attended and graduated magna cum laude from.) The treadmill flung me off and I landed on the nutrition adviser. Why couldn't it have been someone big and soft, like an ice-cream salesman or a fireman?

Saturday:
Damon left a message on my answering machine in his grating, whining voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing him made me want to smash the machine with my rolling pin. However, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel.

Sunday:
I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my husband (the spineless bastard) will choose a gift for me that is fun - like a root canal or a pap smear.

northboy · 12-06-2006, 09:54 AM

30 inch waist?? 34 should be fine, i don't know why you want to be a 30

Brad Mitchell · 12-07-2006, 01:52 PM

Based on my height and body proportions I am at least aiming for 32, 30 might be pushing it.

I meant to post again this morning. I worked out today and got through the whole hour. Mandi, my trainer, totally kicked my ass. I hurt in places that I didn't know I had. I ate a bit better yesterday and drank lots of water, I think that helped me get through the workout this morning. It wasn't ideal, but I managed to drink a small glass of OJ and have a Pop Tart before the gym (and no Red Bull, just some more water). Since I didn't get dizzy and almost puke today, I think I'm off to a good start!

To keep me coming back I just wrote a check for 20 sessions with her and put some money on deposit there so that I can get a fruity protein shake after each workout.

I hope everyone else is having a great day!

Cheers

Brad

CaptainHowdy · 12-07-2006, 01:55 PM

Nice! That's a great decision!

Brad Mitchell · 12-07-2006, 01:57 PM

I feel pretty good... sitting here at my computer, as long as I don't move. LOL

alexg · 12-07-2006, 01:58 PM

good going dude... health is important!

Brad Mitchell · 12-07-2006, 02:02 PM

I don't really want to be healthy so much as I just want to be really attractive. Sure, of course I want the health for my kids, wife and myself but I'd be lying if I said that was the kicker that brought me into the gym.

Brad
