I have a personal trainer. That's weird.

So, tonight I set up my first ever personal training session. For whatever reason, I decided to set it up for 6 a.m. on Saturday morning. I don't understand why I do the things that I do, but I guess Matt and I will be calling it an early night after dinner on Friday so that I can get up at the crack of dawn to bust my ass and then be downtown at work by 8:30 a.m. I make interesting decisions sometimes.

But I had a good conversation with my potential trainer on the phone tonight and it will certainly be interesting. He said I shouldn't expect it to be painful, and either way I have three free sessions, so I'm not paying for it now. Then I can switch to a personal trainer in Reston and give that a try and figure out which I like best and maybe keep going, or maybe find a different one, or maybe decide it's not for me.

I did lose two pounds at WW this week, which was nice bc I was pretty sure I was going to go up two pounds. Good to know that all the working out I did last week was worthwhile (the 33:57 elliptical 5K, for example!! WOOOOO!). August is a good time for me to focus and try to get into a rhythm bc when the school year starts (both for attending and for work) I'm going to be challenged to keep it up.

I got my score back from my questionnaire. I got 100% and the instructor asked if she could post it as an example of an excellent project. I really don't understand. While I didn't think it was absolute crap, I really wouldn't think it was a shining example -- even reading through it again, I feel like it has some major issues. So either the rest of the class is pretty crappy or I'm better than I thought or I have amazing luck and I keep guessing the right answers correctly despite not understanding the content. It could be any of the above really, but I guess it's a good problem to have.

I should probs customize this blog and make it look better. Maybe when I get a better idea of how I'm actually going to use it, I will. I've been thinking that it's pretty narcissistic to write a blog and expect people to read it when it just addresses the daily and boring goings-on of my life. Perhaps I should give it a theme, or set up some kind of schedule. Like Tuesdays I address weight and exercise and Wednesdays I address work/life balance. (HA! I have none of that. I'm a workaholic.) Or maybe I've never done a damn thing in my life that's organized so why start now? I want this to be a coherent publication, something that people might read who don't know me inside and out. I like to discover people's blogs and read them and relate to them. But I suppose it's an evolutionary process. So I'll make slow but steady progress and hopefully people will want to read it.

I leave with this: my most recent nail polish color. It's China Glaze Celtic Sun and I love it, but I went swimming twice and it didn't last. This is it's dying moments when I wanted to take a picture and capture it for posterity. I like nail polish in kind of a middle-school-girl way and so there may be nail polish pictures on here from time to time. Deal with it.
