hellooo… wow, i haven’t posted here in a really long time, have i?
well, i’m planning to become a lot more active in the bb.com community because it really is SO MOTIVATING.
i’ve been working as a trainer and i have to say, i love my job. i really, really love it. it is so rewarding to share my passion for health and fitness with others and, at this point, i’ve had several clients who have worked with me long term and it’s so exciting to watch them transform themselves and get stronger, fitter, BETTER.
also, working as a trainer has done wonders for my body image. back when i first got hired, i had to go to a proprietary certification course for 24 Hour Fitness trainers. there were like, at least 50 trainers from all over the bay area there… and you know what? pretty much all the female trainers looked like me. they were mostly muscular and strong looking, the only exceptions were one or two who were naturally very ectomorphic body types. but i thought they all looked awesome and it made me realize that this is what a fit, healthy and strong woman looks like.
so, the last 10 months have been great for me, very rewarding. i still really want to do a triathlon, but it’s so hard to make time for the training because my gym doesn’t have a pool and i work very long hours. sometimes i have 10 people a day. i really struggle to even squeeze in the basics if i don’t have at least one 2 hour break, and sometimes my day is so patchy with lots of 1 hour and 30 minute breaks. too short for a real workout and then showering! argh!!!
the good news is that my abdominal and general core is stronger than ever since i’m doing planks all day long and showing this exercise and that exercise, haha!!! i always have the upper two showing and as long as i’ve been eating well, i have a four pack most days.
i definitely want to do a figure competition next year. absolutely.
