Time to get back on track
I was soooooo mopey today. I don’t know what it is from though. I had a good workout yesterday , but my mood has been slipping. I am supposed to be training for a show, but my motivation seems in the toilet. I think I am just at a low point in my life between my son and my finances, my daughter is graduating and sometimes thoughts come into my head like, "is this IT?" I bust my ass every day and some days just feel like I am spinning my wheels, ya know? I don’t want to be one of those old office ladies. No insult to office ladies, but I see the pictures they have from the 80’s and most of them still work there. Putting my life into a desk is not appealing……..please don’t make me, pretty pleeeaseeeeeee. I know I am not the only one who feels like this!
Today was also a non training day for me. I swear I am going in to do posing practice on Friday night. Truth be told I haven’t had the money for my fees yet to mail in. I have to do that this week. At least its a pay week…thank Gawd. I’m hearin squeaking when I walk things are so tight.
Also, I tried to get online to get back on track with my ISSA personal training program and can’t log in. I can’t remember my login and I still have a year until the materials are no longer good to use. I have to find out about testing. I was told you can test online, but all I can find is that you have to go to a weekend seminar to test and I just got discouraged about the whole thing. This program is not cheap and to have to go to a 2 day seminar, pay for a hotel, thats just too much for me. Hopefully, there is a way to test online as I have been told by a couple members here.
I DO know, that if I sit here feeling sorry for myself, things will not change. That much is certain.

Hi, I know that mopey feeling too! It like paralyzes you. You don’t know what to do! But just want to let you know your improvement is phenomenal! Of course you are training for a show and you are doing a damn good job of it! So take a step outside your self and just relax and realize the bills, your son being away, etc. ain’t gonna get paid, he ain’t gonna come home, by worrying. OK?
Well, have a great workout tomorrow! And a great day Highlander!

Hi Fern….I’ve worked in the same office for the past 14 years (different positions thankgoodness!) It’s not so bad. The trick is to work while you’re there….and when you walk out the door at the end of the day…the job doesn’t follow you home. I can hardly wait to hit the gym.in the evenings and weekends…it’s like I’m a whole different person. A job is a job….but your life is whatever you decide to make it.
Shake off that mopey feeling…smile when you get up in the morning and know the day is going to be alright…..a massage feels pretty good too…:)
I’m waiting for the kick-ass Fern to come back…I know she’s out there somewhere!!

Hey, I’m going the personal trainer program too but through ACE. You should be able to test online at least thats what they told me. If you find out how in the world that works please let me know. I don’t really wanna travel hundreds of miles to take a test!

you need to clean out your pm’s-i tried to send you one and it says that you exceeded your mail! lol

lol sooo many things soooo similar! I started my issa last July! I forgot my password too and had to email them 2 weeks ago about it. You can test online OR you can do the paper test at home and send it in. You will do fine! I need to get my butt in gear and finish mine too. That is my goal for the end of summer.. but the essays… BLEH YUCK essays…

Just remember YOU ARE AMAZING! Thank you for taking the time to write me back when I ask you questions & for inspiring me to win my PRO card one day. I was certified through NCCPT & then it expired bc I didn’t have the money to take the Continuing Education classes. *sigh* I know what the $$$$ situ. is like. Keep your head up girl!
