Personal Training

I've decided that there is something very empowering about working with a personal trainer. Something about being pushed to my absolute limit, and finding I can go there; something about feeling like I'm going to die and can't possibly do one more, but pushing out 5 more anyway; something about just showing off for someone who does this for a living, and being told that he's impressed with me- there's just something about all of it that makes me feel so powerful. I can do this! I can lose the weight! I can be strong!

After I had my baby I felt like the biggest weakling on the planet. I couldn't even do the simplest things anymore, and I thought I couldn't even handle the simple workout videos I used to do. After working with a trainer for a few weeks, I feel like I can handle something like P90X, easy. Actually, I feel like I can do anything. Even if I'm not losing weight at the rate I want to, I feel different about myself, and I think that's worth the exorbitant amount of money I pay to have someone try and kill me twice a week.
