Day 1

Today was the first official day of our contest. I was a little worried about meeting with my trainer, Scott. I was afraid he would work me into the ground and make me regret filling out the application. Well, I was wrong. We started off by taking basic measurements and ended by seeing the amount of weights that I needed on a few of the machines. Scott is a really nice and positive person. Could this be it? I don't feel awful and I'm not sweating very badly. I guess I'll just have to wait until Wednesday to see.
