I really hope she's "The One"

So tonight I met with Kathy, the trainer that did my HealthCheck at Allina.  Originally I was pretty miffed because Joe (the general manager at LifeTime) told me he wanted to meet with me before I met with Kathy to make sure that all of my customer service issues were resolved and he would personally make sure they were taken care of.  I showed up, asked for him and guess what....he's not in today :-/  Ok, strike one for the second chance.  Next I dropped the kids off in the childcare center and I'm informed they close at 7:30pm and the gal cheerfully said "So you have about 50 minutes".  I said "Oh well that's not going to work real well, my appointment with my trainer is at 7:30" she chuckles and says "Oh that's probably why HE had an opening"....WTF?!?!  So I proceed to toss my purse and such in a locker and head upstairs where I'm supposed to meet Kathy so I can check out the T.E.A.M. Weight Loss group.  I get up there and she waves me over.  I told her "I have a big problem....childcare closes at 7:30pm" she told me to join the group and we would make sure I was done and ready to go by 7:30pm.  I, for whatever reason, trusted her when she said that and joined the group of folks that were apparently fairly new to working out.  Walking on a treadmill at 3.0, panting and sweating profusely and begging to be done after one - 1 minute plank....but then I thought....geez that was me a couple years ago!  Now I'm jogging on the treadmill at a 5.5 and holding a plank for nearly 45 seconds before I have to take a breath and re position myself.

After the workout was over I sat with Kathy for a while and we talked about where I'm at and what I need and what the ultimate plan is.  She wants me doing cardio for at least 30 minutes a day 7 days a week!!  So Mon, Wed, and Fri I've used my LT Bucks to purchase 14 sessions of the T.E.A.M. Weight Loss group. Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun I need to figure out something to do on my own....I would LIKE to incorporate more weight training, because the T.E.A.M. class doesn't include too much of that, so there are a couple other free classes I plan to take on my "off" days.  I'm really excited to start a new little adventure and to start melting the weight off again!  I can't wait!!  It helps to have an AMAZING support system as well, so thank you to every single one of you that has supported me through the challenging points in my life and watched me gain my 60 lbs and not given me a single negative word about it.

I plan to do a slew of 5Ks this summer including Go Commando June 9th and The Dirty Girl Mud Run Aug 4th along with the Heart Walk and a few others that pop up here and there.  I can't wait to feel great about myself again!
