Well, the beginning of another week!  Time just flies by.
I had a good day today.  Woke up, trained a client, taught two classes, rushed home and rested up, and trained at the new place for about 7 hours.  The new job is great, but taxing.  I can’t complain too much, because the clients are fantastic!  However, this facility is not exactly geared towards serious bodybuilders, so needless to say it’s lacking some very important equipment.  Now, I’m in the process of gym shopping.  After taking a week long break from training, I trained full body today.  It felt great!  I missed lifting; it is by far my favorite part of fitness.  Took it light today, so  over the remainder of the week, I’ll be getting back into the swing of things.  The progress pics are up. I’m amazed at how much support I’ve received here.  I love it!!!!  I’ve realized something very interesting:  Personal trainers may be great at training others, but that doesn’t mean they are great at training themselves.  I’m a number cruncher.  This is a great benefit for my clients.  Not so good for me. I tend to get really discouraged if things don’t go exactly as planned.  I enjoy training so much….I just need to ENJOY it!  The results will come in time, and I am pleased with the changes I’ve seen thus far. I even surprised myself and did two (yes, I said, TWO) unassisted pull ups for the first time ever!  Talk about an ego booster!  That has been a goal of mine.  So now I am convinced that in addition to changes in body composition, I am also experiencing strength gains.  Success is so very sweet!
