So last night was good. Busy, but good! Weather was SHITTY by the time I got off work. Pissing rain most of the afternoon! Mac picked me up and dropped me off to get the car. A bit of a misunderstanding as he thought he was picking me up and I was dropping him off at home and I was taking the truck as I wouldn't have the car back. Oops. But I got the car and there was something wrong with it, but nothing dangerous. They didn't have the part (and why I didn't get a phone call) so they'll be ordering it. I have another appointment in 3 weeks as we'll be gone that one week- but there'll be no problem for the trip. After going over that, I rushed back to the gym and prepped for my first client.
I went over and beyond for my first client. She was wanting to do the yoga after training, and why we booked the time we did, but she didn't bring her mat, so since I had mine in the car, I lent her mine.
My second client- I really like her- I felt bad for. She started asking me questions about muscle being heavier than fat and I could see where the conversation was going. I guess she's starting to get frustrated because of all the exercise she's doing, she doesn't see the results she feels she should. She's doing a lot of cardiovascular exercise, but I have a feeling she's in a higher target heart rate and isn't in the fat burning "zone". So at the end, we booked for training next week and then the week I'm back, we're going to do a cardio coach session and check her target heart rate, find her training zones, and re-do her body age and check her composition changes. I also have a feeling that her diet might not be good, but she's on Weight Watchers. I think I might get her to start a food diary so I can see exactly what she's eating. But it was pretty cool at the end. I happened to have my photos with me, so I showed her. I showed her the picture of when I was 200+ lbs. And then I showed her the pictures of when I was competing. She got SO inspired by them- she felt like there was hope for her. And I see so much determination in her, I know she can get to where she wants to be. It was a nice feeling!
My third client was good. She was one of the other trainers clients and I discovered she really didn't like her workout. The trainer had her doing all sorts of stuff on the Bosu and she was extremely uncomfortable on it. So, I tore up her workout card and we went through and did another workout. No big deal. I worked with what she liked and did put in a couple things she doesn't like, but I did them in a way that she can at least do them comfortablly.
I saw several of my other clients there last night, as well. A little daunting, but it was fine. I asked one lady how she was doing and I guess her legs hurt so much, she couldn't walk properly for 2 days!!! Yikes! I'm hoping that my other client who just wouldn't back down is alive! LOL! I guess we'll see when I talk to her next!

But I ended up getting out of there a little later than I wanted. I saw both my boss and the other Advisor there and I got chatting with the Advisor. And then I got chatting with the gal up front. And I have a feeling I should start brushing up on my bellydance as I have a feeling they'll probably ask me to do a beginners class in the spring! It'll be fun, but I am rusty!!! Another good reason to get downstairs set to go!
I got home about 915 or so to a very quiet house. Mac had already gone to bed! So I pretty much had a bite to eat (as I didn't have dinner at all!!!) checked my email and went to bed. Took a little while to determine he was even in bed his breathing was so quiet! I was aware part way through the night, he reached over and touched me- put his hand on my back- as he couldn't tell that I was in bed, either! I knew he had done it, but I was able to get back to sleep easily! SO nice getting a good sleep!!! I woke at about 430, but decided it was too early to think about getting up, so I went back to sleep and then woke to the sound of the spinning cd as it was shuffling for a song, but I caught it before the music started, so Mac *hopefully* didn't wake up!
Made me a little behind as I'm usually up at 5. And I was a little late getting to the gym as Mac and I chatted a bit before I left- if I didn't I might not be seeing him until tomorrow morning!!! I'll be working until 9, so I probably won't be getting home until about 930 or so! But I got to the gym at a decent time and had a good workout. Tried to find the health questionairre for my first client of the evening, but I couldn't find anything and the gal working looked and she couldn't find anything, either! I guess they're having a meeting today, so she's going to bring it up as the trainers are taking the only copy, and it makes it impossible for anyone else to find the info! I've already had one client get frustrated as I wasn't aware of her health issues and the workout I did wasn't entirely appropriate. The first appointment I have, I am completely unprepared for it. I don't even know how old she is!!! SO frustrating!!!
But it's Thursday. 1 more evening working. It's tough!!! I won't lie! I think it'll be different once I get my first paycheck, but because of the timing of everything, I guess I was missed in the payroll. But a quick calculation, and I think this paycheck is going to be nice! ... too bad I'll be out of the country when it's ready... oh, well...
Not looking forward to today. I pulled my work for the day and there's not much!!! It's going to be another boring day, I think! *sigh*... oh, well... When I go to the gym at lunch, I'm going to look on the BA system to see if my first client has any info there and then I can work on her workout this afternoon- not like it'll take that long!
I can't believe I'm wearing a long sleeved sweater today. It's AUGUST for gawd sake!!! *grrr*...
Anyhow... there's going to be a meeting in about 15 minutes, so I should go. There are a couple things I have to do early.So...............CIAO!!!
