First Timer Here - Tons of Questions!

[Guest guest]

I am planning to start my first challenge on February 13th. Wow!

There is so much information out there, it is difficult to absorb it

all. I intend to stick strictly with the book my first time

around. I need to focus and don't want to be distracted by the

wealth of information available! I plan to use the Success

Journal. I also pulled some sample meal plans and recipes from the

website. I have a gym membership set up across the street from my

house and set up a few visits with a cute little personal trainer to

get me started with the workouts. I have a feeling I will come to

loathe this young man. He assures me that this will be the case!

I need some assistance setting specific goals. I am almost 40,

about 5'1 " and weigh about 225 lbs. I am a single mom, with two

boys and a 50 hr a week job. I am not sure what " realistic " goals

would be for someone in my situation. I believe it is going to be

very important to my success that I set achievable goals. Any

suggestions?

My workday begins promptly at 7:00 am. It is crucial to my job that

I be on time, every day. How important is it that the workouts take

place first thing in the morning? I am afraid that if I get to the

gym at 5:00 and do a 45 min workout, I am not going to have time to

get myself and the kids ready in time to get me to work by 7:00. Any

thoughts?

Any input that anyone might have would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

Terri
