I’m 40???

Chris and I finally joined a gym. I have been trying to lose weight since the birth of Aiden (yes, that’s over 2 years ago) and I have leveled off. I am successfully in the upper 120’s, but I need help with specific areas. So, we joined a Wellness Center, which is a gym sponsored by the hospital and now reality has hit me hard.

First you make an appointment with a nurse and then you see a trainer. Well, my visit with the nurse started out after leaving Aiden, for the first time ever with strangers, at the gym’s day care center. He was crying, so of course my blood pressure was up. Then it was time for the scale, which was not as bad as I thought. That was the last bit of good news from the nurse I would receive. My flexibility: poor. Strength assessment: fair. Body Fat: 26.4%. Overall, my body thinks it’s 40 years old and I’m only 36! If that wasn’t enough of a hit, I’m supposed to be shooting for a body age of 30.

I have my meeting with the trainer on Friday, so we will see what that entails. I can’t wait!
