Week before week 1

My official start date for the 20/20 program is January 13th! This week has been all about getting me prepared for the program and of course paying for it.

During the program they assign you a number of people that you will be working with throughout your program. You get a personal trainer, nutritionist/dietician, counselor, and doctor. All of these people are suppose to help you through the program. For me I also have to attend an hour women's support group each week for 10 weeks. I see my trainer 3 times a week, my dietician once a week, my counselor during group once a week and 5 times over the entire program, and finally my doctor for testing and such 3 times throughout the program. It sounds like I will be spending just as much time with these people as I will with my family. CRAZY!

Recap of the last few days...

Monday: I met my counselor for the first time. She is really nice. She is suppose to be here to help me talk about the program. My difficulties, stresses, and whatever else is on my mind. This is a nice to have, but I probably could do without.

Tuesday: I went into gym to have them draw blood. The girl was really nice, but she was a little rough with my veins!

Wednesday: My initial physical assessment. I got to sign all of my contracts and PAY! The rest of the time I was measured, weighed, and asked specific questions about my medical history. I was tested on stretching, lifts, and measured my body mass. NOW this was nerve racking. They had me lay down on this big machine that basically scanned my entire body, line by line. This seemed like it took forever and I'm only 5 feet tall. The hardest part was that you had to sit still and make sure your hands and arms were as close to your body as possible. TOUGH! I then took a look at what I looked like and well... I was disgusted! Crazy what your body looks like when a machine in black/white/gray outlines your entire body mass. Thanks a LOT! He also took before photos. LORD I don't want to look at those.

I am looking forward to getting started. I will try to post up some before photos and some goal photos I have.
