I have heard that a gym should be a good place to look for a partner... I have seen girls doing their make up before they go out to do their work out. How the hell can you try to pic up a person at a gym?
A normal person should go to a gym to get a proper work out - that means a lot of sweat. How attractive is that?! I can say that I don't feel that attractive and ready to flirt with a guy when I am a the gym. I am red like a tomato in my face and the sweat is dripping!
Well, I have heard that it is good not having a lot of parfumes that will hide your bodyscent, because the feromones decides wether you get attracted to a person or not... But really...?! I don't enjoy sweatty, smelly men... And I don't enjoy myself the smelly way either!
No, the people that is saying the gym is a good place to flirt, they must have misunderstood what you are doing there.

Oh, now I am great again!
I met the PT today, but we didn't check my weight or anything else. I have already done that so it doesn't matter to me - now I had one hour training instead. Much better! :)
We started on the crosstrainer and I said to him that I am soo tired and I am afraid that I have had too little to eat. Just after a few minutes on the crosstrainer I felt much better!
It's nice with the warm up because then we have some time to chat. After that I am to concentrated on my training and struggle to manage the exercises so I am not able to speak! I think it's good that you feel confident with- and trust your PT. I don't know if I should belive in faith, but I think he crossed my path right in time. This is just what I needed!
As I said, we had a nice chat today. I told him that I am telling everyone that I will become gorgeous when I have reached my goal. His answer was: Looks is not everything. Yeah right! He has been competing in body building... Easy for a person who has the right looks, to say that looks is not everything! ;) Then he said that I should say: I am gorgeous, now I will become fit! I can always try... You who knows me, know that it's not thay easy.
Then he commented that I am very flexible. How he knows that?! Well, at the end we are doing some stretching - what did you think?! He asked me if I knew how come I am this flexible and I couldn't answer to that. He said it's because I have no muscles - and I belived him!!! Then he laughed and admitted that it was a joke... I was scared for a moment it was even worse than I thought! :) I am from Sweden, but not blond, even if it seems as I am...

I'm tired
Recently I haven't eaten as much as I should. I prepare the dinner and when I put it in my diary I realise it's too little! More than three days it has been less than 1000 kcal and then I have exercised and burnt 500-800 kcal... No wonder I am tired. The problem is that now when I was checking my weight it was the same as last week. I need to eat more to loose more weight...
It is difficult to find the balance, but I will not give up!
Tonight I will meet my PT and he will check my weight as well - hopefully bodyfat also. I hope that shows better figures...

More energy
I have done 2 sessions with my PT now. I feel so energetic, happy and content. The training is fun, I am looking forward to it all the time!
I do 2 classes of spinning a week and tomorrow I will try body pump. Then I will do the program I got from my PT and the 5th day I will do the training with my PT (different exercises every time). That means intense traning five days a week. Lovely!
Ok, I realise I have a long way to go, but after only one week I feel so different! My PT says that I will notice a big difference after three months and I am sure he is right! I can imagine...
On Monday we will make some new measurements...

Insuline resistance
I have bought a book called "Beyond GI - Understanding Glycaemic load" by Dr Fedon Alexander Lindberg. This book is very good because it explains the importance of having the right sort of diet.
Did you know that you can become insuline resistant? Do you know what that means? Who can have it?
When you eat, your blood sugar is rising. Your body start to produce insulin to take care of the glucose, but your liver and mucles can only store a certain amount. The reminder will be stored as fat.
Hyper insulinemia is increased production of insulin which can lead on to reduced insulin sensitivity (insulin resistance). That means that your insulin level remains high all the time, whether you have eaten or not. However, it is only the posibility to lower the blood sugar that is not working anymore, the insulin still stores fat. That makes it quite impossible to loose weight!
If you are overweight you are most certainly insulin resistant. About 10% of the population in the developed world have insulin resistance, even though they are normal weight and have no other health problems. If your body are normal but you belly are bulging, you probably have insulin resistance.
An improvement of our eating- and exercise habits can of course make it better!

The right way
I also use Aftonbladets Viktklubb to keep track of the calories I eat. We weigh ourselves every week and meassure our waist once a month. Today I was time to do both.
Weight: 84,1
Waist: 81
Weightloss of 3,9 kg in three weeks and I've lost 5 cm on my waist.
This feels really good! It doesn't feel like I am giving up something either. I just have so much fun! Now it's even more fun to go to the gym. I've tried some classes and that made me talk to some people at the gym and that makes me less nervous.
The work out is intense, but it makes me feel really good afterwards. I am proud of myself when I realise what I'm actually capable of doing.

Some advises from my PT
I got some advices from my PT the other day:
Eat according to Glycemic Index
Don't eat carbohydrates after 17:00
Don't eat later than 5 hours before you go to bed
I will not eat dairy the next three weeks and I will not eat sweets, chocolate, cakes, take out and so on for the next three months.
One tea or coffee a day and not after training.

1st session
Now I have done the first workout session. Wow! It was really hard and my PT said he was taking it easy because I just have had a cold... Oh my God! I don't think I have ever done a work out that hard...
Pathetic! I thought I was quite good, going for walks and going to the gym five days a week. I don't even use 50% of my capacity (my own calculation)!
I still think this is good and a great investment. I know it is expensive - I will pay £140 for one month of four sessions with my PT.
It is a bit scary and I was a bit nervous before this session as well. I think I am nervous because I have always been overweight and I don't really know what it's like to be slim and fit. I try to create an image in my head, of how I will look like, but it is difficult.
Variables for success:
Reset my mind.
I am determind to succeed!
It's all in my head!
If I think positive and think that this is my new way of life and that I will get slim - I will succeed.
I can't give up. Can't waste my money by giving up.
Now it's time - time for my new life...

The beginning
Today I had my first session with the personal trainer. I was soo nervous! I don't know why, but to be examined and meassured by a person, that was scary... It is one thing when I know I am overweight, but completely different when you have proof of it and someone else is confirming it. That is hard!
To make it even worse, I will now write everything down here...
Startdate: 12 February 2008
Weight: 86,8 kg with my shoes on
Height: 162 cm also with my shoes on! 159 cm without them, I think...
Bodyfat: 42,6%
Within three months I will have:
-reduced my bodyfat
-lost about 10 kg
-less backpain
-a smaller dress-sice
So, how was it then?
It was a very nice session, even though I was nervous at the beginning. The personal trainer is easy going so I soon felt relaxed. We didn't do that much exercise because I had to do the health check first, but we had about 20 min in the end. That 20 min exercise made me realise how much more you can push yourself without a problem. You think you are doing your best at the gym, but that is nothing compared to when a person is standing beside you, telling you what to do.
You will use a lot of your money to reach your goals, but after several attempts with no results, I think it is worth it.
There is no maybe, there is only: I will make it!!! With the help from my PT I will become a slimmer, healthier and happier me, just within some months!
I will keep you updated...

Background
During the last years I have tried to loose weight. I thought I ate healthy, I have been exercising a lot and even tried prescribed medicin, Citalopram, in hope of loosing weight. Unfortunately nothing worked!
I have been depressed during a long time and after a while I didn't know what to do. To get out of this dispair I decided to move to England, to my sister.
Now I have a good job and a lot of new friends. I quit all my assignements when I left Sweden so the only thing I do is working and exercise basicly.
To get the right balance between diet and exercise I have decided to consult a personal trainer. I was going to meet him tomorrow, but unfortunately I have a cold and must wait till next week. I have a new appointment on Tuesday. I am nervous...
When I have met the personal trainer I will tell you about my programme. I will also give you information about my progress.
Yesterday, when I saw my reflection in the mirror I saw a vision of what I could become. I have been overweight for all my life, but now I actually think there is a possibility to reach my goals!
I am not happy with myself - now is the time to make the difference!
