I finally switched trainers!!! I am now with Team Bombshell, which is led by IFBB Pro Shannon Dey! I will be starting with her program this Monday. It took a while for me to come to terms that I needed to switch trainers. Cathy Savage has an amazing team, but I got tired of some things that were going on. The first was communication difficulties. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back, as they say.

And maybe more importantly was my feeling that I wasn’t training enough to get the results I really wanted. Granted, I can be a little piggy which can set me back. So I decided to try someone new who offers a little more structure. There’s more volume with Shannon’s plans and she writes the meal plan. Cathy’s team does macros, which I think works great if you are disciplined, which I am not. So, we’ll see. Plus, Shannon’s a little better about getting right back to her clients. Now, don’t get me wrong. Cathy was a great start. It was a way to get my feet wet and see if I like training, but in the end, it’s not enough for me.

The only thing I don’t like about the new trainer is that … ironically, the lack of flexibility with the diet. I am used to eating certain things. Every morning I eat oatmeal with cottage cheese, protein powder and some fruit. No mas! Oh, and I can only do NPC. But, in the end that’s not really such a big deal. I think the reason I wanted to do Fitness America is that there are no requirements in fitness. With NPC, there are several mandatory fitness moves, two of whcih I can’t do. That just means that I’ll have to work that much harder.

So that is just one part of my life. Since May, I’ve graduated, got engaged to my sweetie, moved to Oklahoma with my boy toy and started a new job. LOTS of changes! I have a blog on another site that I add to with smewhat more regularity (not much, haha!). If you want, check that out at http://socialworkdiva.blogspot.com.
