My first session has been scheduled for this Saturday at the Fort Lee Studio. Of course I'm still very excited and eager to start.
I haven't weighed myself in quite sometime, so that should be interesting. Last time I checked I was 194 lbs. I haven't weighed myself since then.
There was a point in my life when I used to weigh myself at least 3x per day: morning, before/after meals, and right before bed. It was during this time that I understood the effects of water weight, salt, starvation, stress, and obsession.
I can loose 5 pounds overnight, I can gain 5 pounds overnight. Yes, this is my super power.

First Contact
Virginia, my pilates instructor, called me today. We have determined that we will meet on Wednesdays @ 7pm in Tenafly, and Saturdays @ 9am in Fort Lee. Each session will be 1 hour long, and she suggested I wear leggings and t-shirt, or long sleeve shirt (no sweatshirts, tanktops, and basketball shorts are preferred). She'll get back to me on the official start date.
As she described her schedule, I really feared it would coincide with work. I work in the city and the earliest I leave work is 6pm. It takes me about 1.5 hours to get to Tenafly, so in a normal situation 7pm in Tenafly would be out of the question, BUT... how often do you "win the lotto"?, as my friend put it.
I will have to let work know that once a week, I'll have to leave earlier. Fortunately, my boss knows how important this is for me, so I'm hoping it won't be a problem.
I'm still very excited and somewhat anxious.

This is where it begins or where it ends.
Right now, I'm waiting for a call from Virginia, my future pilates instructor, my Future instructor.
I'm not sure exactly why, but I'm a little nervous.
One thought that has crossed my mind, is whether or not I am "fit" (physically) to follow this program. I really don't want to disappoint her, or myself.
So many are involved in this effort, and all are dependent on my success. And my success will be defined by how good I look at the end of this journey, which I cannot even imagine. More important than the weight loss, success will probably defined by how great I feel and how healthy I become.
Here's a bit more detail on what's been happening:
Jumping Frog Pilates was looking for 5 spokespeople, and II am one of the chosen ones.
The program will include Pilates, Accupuncture, and even a Nutritionist for 4 months.
Need I ask for more?
