The questionnaire was a bit longer than that but the questions were all focused around those areas – I believe they also asked about being a Smoker and/or a Drinker – of which I was both. Needless to say… I didn’t score very well.

Had a seat with the fitness consultant  – we reviewed my questionnaire and he asked some follow up questions. The main one being how much weight I wanted to lose? – I estimated approx 30-40lbs would be reasonable. (to be honest I wasn’t sure how much I weighed at the time).  Finally he asked me to set a goal [time frame] to loose this weight. I gave myself 6 months at first but then he had me work out the math and we agreed 1 year would be a far more realistic goal.

40/12 = 3.3lbs a month versus 40/5 = 6.6lbs a month.

He brought over a 1 year contract and explained  the pricing would be approx 28$  paid bi-weekly – I asked if there was a corporate discount – there was – he asked what company I was with but did not ask for any proof. Regardless he knocked the price down to 23$ bi-weekly .  I was ready to sign up – thought of it as a commitment and an investment – if I am paying I will surely go!. The consultant sales guy mentioned they had a special promotion where I could try 6 – 30 minute 1-on-1 sessions with a professional personal trainer for the “low low” price of 120$ (regularly 220$)  – Yeah.. I am sucker and bought it. – to be honest though I really would benefit from fitness instruction. – besides what have I got to lose? money, weight?.

Scheduled my first 1-on-1 session for the following day. Nando went through the same process but scheduled his first 1-on-1 later that week.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK
See you tomorow goodlife new life.
