My Diet - July 1st to July 31st

If you are new to the series, go through How to start a weight loss Program, week 1, week 2, week 3 , week 4, week 5 , week 6, week 7, week 8 week9 , week10, week 11, week 12, week 13, week 14, week 15, week 16 and week 17.

This month i had 4 sessions with my Personal trainer, NeTia P. Anderson. It was on Thursdays, 6.30am to 7.30am. It included warm up, 10min cardio on treadmill with grade-15 and then strength training exercise. Our time together was short and sweaty, but each exercise pushed me beyond my comfort zone in the best way possible. Thanks Netia. You are awesome!!!
