Here at BYUI they have a Biggest Winner competition. On occasion, I have seen people in the gym working out together, and on Saturday I saw a bunch of people on treadmills wearing weight belts. I was like oh my goodness I would hate to be them.... and now guess what I am! I got my skin fold test yesterday, walked into the Health Center to make an appointment so a doctor could check me off that I was eligible to participate, and when I went in they said they had an opening right then! Yay! I also had to get my blood drawn. And guess what I actually looked at the needle when it was in my arm, and I looked at the blood when it went into the tube, pulse by pulse it would squirt in to the tube. This is HUGE progress for me. When I was younger, I would not even enter the room without crying. I think that this day signifies to me that one day I could be a nurse, and do that to someone else and not get grossed out from it. Any way, since I got the doctor to sign the paper today that means I am one of the first 36 people to turn in the application which means I got a spot! it starts at the beginning of next semester! I am stoked now, but maybe not so much in the coming months. I do not know what the reward is, but if I lose any weight, it will be reward enough! Jillian, watch out because here comes your next victim!
During it, Mon, Wed, Friday will be cardio workouts, and Tues, Thurs, will be strength training with the group. Every other Saturday will be a team challenge, some of them include 5k run, running with weight packs on, and other things like that. I will also have a personal trainer, and a meet with a nutritionist weekly. We also will have weekly weigh in's. Man I am excited, and a little nervous at the same time... ah wish me luck!
