The Call

Got a call at lunch yesterday from Jared, telling me I'd won the free twelve weeks of training. The only stipulations are that I have to allow him to use my before/after pictures for marketing stuff. I said it's a deal, but only as long as I can blur my face in the pictures. He said That's fine, but by the end of 12 weeks, you'll want your face on those pictures.

He also said I have to write him a check for $100 on day 1. If I drop out of the program at any point during the twelve weeks, he gets to cash that check. If not, we'll tear it up together at the end of week 12. That's extra motivation for me, because I'm not a fan of losing 100 bucks.

We start training Monday at 5. I'm excited, but I can't help but wonder What in the world have I gotten myself into?
