My original goal was to weigh myself Aug 1st to see how I was doing on my weight loss. And if I had successfully lost 15-20lbs by then, I'd get myself a personal trainer as a gift and also to take me to my goal. But I'm not doing so well now, so maybe I should rethink waiting to get a trainer.

(The main reason I wanted to wait in the first place, was because I wanted to push myself on my own. See what I can do and just get better in shape before completely getting my ass kicked my a professional. Although, I'm sure my ass will be kicked into shape regardless.)
