Started Working Out

I started working out about two weeks ago.  I've been going to the gym five times a week (Sun, Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri).  I do about 20 - 30 minutes of cardio each day and different weight training four days a week.

I hired a trainer at 24 Hour Fitness to teach me how to weight train and to give me a plan to get back in shape.  If you ask me, it's been worth every single penny.  My trainer, Ryan Day, has done a great job of teaching me about how our body works related to working out, which has given me a better understanding of how to workout.

I started out at 184 lbs and 24% body fat (barely acceptable ARGHH!!!).  My goal is to get to 173 lbs and 17% body fat which means I'll pack on 4 pounds of muscle along with the fat loss.

My trainer told me that if I maintain the workout routine and eat right then I can get to this goal in about 2 to 2.5 months.  So hopefully I'll be able to keep up this rate.

WHY DID I HAVE TO START WORKING OUT RIGHT AT THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS TIME?!?!?!?!
