They are very 'peaceful' Sara. Im not afraid of carbs anymore, just trying to watch fat intake mostly.

Questions:
1. Post/pre workout meals
2. Cardio on an empty stomach
3. Protein an every meal?
4. Amounts of cardio, reps & sets & # of exercises<---weights

Still thinking, I wanna get my $$$'s worth, seeing the top trainers in Alberta is exciting!

I think it's ok to have chocolate everyone once in a while IF you don't binge on it. Every time I have a little bit of a no no food and I don't binge I get all happy and proud of myself

tomorrow never comes Miss Jill I guess losing weight is like trying to do anything ... you have to want it. Maybe you're not ready ... don't know. I know the missus was like you ... start/stop ... go for a week, jump off the wagon. It seems that now she's ready to really get after it. She's been doing pretty good with the gym and her eating has really changed. From what she tells Donna and I, her meals are going very well. Like I said before, maybe having to answer to someone about your cheats will help. The missus looked at it from this view point, if I'm paying XX amount of $ to have someone create a meal plan, I best stick to it and be honest when I don't follow it otherwise I'm just wasting money ... and we don't have money to waste.

I'm almost as excited as you are about tonight. Hopefully she will be able to motivate you and guide you in the direction you want to go.

Do you have to have sweetner in your coffee ? Have you tried like a french vanilla coffee or hazelnut ? Maybe you wou would like the taste even without sweetner. I drink mine black.

She's lost about 2lbs ... but Donna expects her to start losing 1-2lbs a week. She said it might take a week or so of proper eating to get her metabolism going. She is also lifting really good, so her decline in weight not be as fast as she would expect. Donna suggested that some come looking to just loose weight and don't really exercise that often. The missus has been going really hard at it for probably a good month now.

On the coffee subject ... the missus used to take a lot of sugar in her coffee. Now she uses just on packet of .... ummmm, forgot, maybe it's sweet/low. Not sure, but it's a heck of a lot less than what she used to take.
