Ever since the Cancun trip, I haven’t had the burning desire to head back to the gym or the track.  For that matter, I have a terrible sweet tooth.  Well, let me just say I’m in a very pathetic state.  I have a girls day out tomorrow with my girlfriend who took the PT workshop with me.  I hope she’s been in the gym sweating stuff off.  What I’m really hoping for is once I get a look at her small booty it will send a pain to my not so small booty and get me going!  I’m in a funk, it’s been building for quite some time and now the thought of starting all over again really sucks. 

Back from Cancun.  The vacation was great.  My family and I visited a couple of the Mayan Ruins sites, Isla de Mujeres Island and went snorkeling.  This place was all inclusive, plenty of food everywhere.  I did get a workout in at the gym.  We were so busy sight-seeing I didn’t have time for anything else.  There was plenty of walking in very hot weather and plenty of refreshments.  Anyway, tipping the scales a little on the heavy side for now.  I hope to get back in the gym this week.  I have family coming in today and the boys to get ready for school.  Things are a little crazy!

My personal training class is going well.  There is so much information, it’s a little overwhelming.  Fitting in some workout time has been a little difficult.  I managed to get in a 45 minute run yesterday.  I have a little tightness here and there on my left quad but nothing compared to before.  I completed a 1 mile walk to determine my V02 max.  I came in last, walking is not my thing.  Didn’t make it to the gym today.  After being in the PT workshop for 8 hours, I had a CPR class to attend.  My girlfriend and I are putting in some time tomorrow at 6 in the morning, need to get some much needed rest! 

I took the remainder of last week off and left for vacation on Sunday visiting family in my hometown.  I worked out one day this week and walked at the HS track with my Mom.  I was very busy keeping up with family, friends and entertaining kids.  Yes, there were a couple of party nights in there.  I ran into an old classmate of mine at the gym (the one day I went!) and we met up the next day for a couple of drinks and a late dinner.  She looks great.  I’ll be busy come Monday.  I’m enrolled in a Personal Training class at the Cooper Institute.  My girlfriend Lisa and I decided to get certified for our own personal knowledge.  It’s a four day session from 7:30 to 5:00.  I have some reservations.  I just don’t see how it’s possible to become competent with only four days of guidance and a two hour test at the end.  I have a problem with that.  However, I’ll show up and see what unfolds.  Back to working out, I’m in no rush to head to the gym or take a long run.  I have another vacation coming up, we are headed to Cancun.  If I get a workout in, great.  If I don’t get it in, oh well.  I am watching what I eat and the amount I eat.
