For about five years now I've wanted to hire a personal trainer. I know, it sounds crazy, and yeah, it would probably be a huge waste of money. The thing is, I have no problem going to the gym and on the treadmill or eliptical machine, but what I've always wanted was to put on some muscle.

Unfortunately, when it comes to lifting weight, I'll be the first to admit that I don't know anything. In fact, I usually end up hurting myself and/or pulling something. On those rare occassions when I don't hurt myself, I end up being so sore for the next four days or so that I can barely get myself to the gym. Which leads me to believe that I have no clue what I'm doing.

Hence the desire to hire a personal trainer. I also feel like if I spent the money, I'd be more apt to actually go do the weight lifting. I'd have something invested (other than how I look). Really, my main goal is to look the best I ever have for my honeymoon next year. It would make me feel great if by the time next May rolls around, I looked the best I ever did, and I think that Martha would be pleasantly suprised as well. She's lucky, she has one of those metabolisms that never slow down. (Which reminds me - how did my brother get that metabolism, and not me?!?)

In any case, if anyone is looking for a gift for me (say, for my birthday in September), I would really love some pre-paid sessions with a personal trainer.
