I have a new toy. I had to spend down my FSA. I was able to buy a heart monitor. I am looking forward to using while working out.I wanted the fancy Polar brand. It was not covered by my FSA I also start with my new trainer Mitchell next week. I am going to work hard to drop some major pounds by July. I will be officiating my first wedding. Yes someone asked me to marry them. More information to come.
I am hoping to provide some humor and encouragement to those of us who have had to shop in stores that start with XL or in the dark corners of stores where their idea of big and tall is 2 shirts that look like your grandmother couch and pants with elastic. I use the term fat man in the title, because unless you have worked out your whole life, you feel like a fat man when you are new to the gym. No matter your size I think you have that same feeling.

Where's the Kettle Bells
So I went to a different YMCA today. It was a very interesting experience. I was unable to find the Kettle bells. I wanted to do some swings. I asked the trainer where I could find them. He said they do not let the general public use them. They are for a class or to be used if you have a trainer. I told him I have used them with and without a trainer. So he gave in and got me one. It was only 30 pounds. I was not going to complain. I got through one set of my Intervals. I did my second set with the Kettlebells. When I was done he asked of he could show me proper form. I told him I know, I have bad form and I was working on not rounding my back. He said that was not the issue. the issue was that I should not be swinging over my head. I guess he has never heard of over the head kettle bell swings. He kept telling me everything I have done wrong.That most trainers, don't have the knowledge he has. He wasted my time so I could not finish my workout. He gave me his card and said I should work with him. I finally told him my trainer and I must be doing somthing right. I have lost close to 60 pounds and over 100 inches. I think that shut him up.
