Good Morning.
Ok so the truth. I'm more having a panic attack about training than I am excited. I can't seem to calm myself down. What if I screw it all up? What if I can't do it? What if I appear nervous? What if it doesn't work out? What if I say something wrong?
I just had to get that off my chest. What if I don't have everything I need to do the initial assessments? It's hard because there's never been personal training at this gym, so there really isnt' anything there!. I actually got my own BP monitor to bring with me. I need to remember tape. I have a metronome on my phone. Where do I buy a yardstick? I don't like the mats there at all......*sigh* LOL I never heard back from Planet Fitness about the internship. I"m kinda pissed.
I have no idea what workout I'll do today. A cardio it will be. No running, it poured out early this morning, not feeling the walk to the treadmill....lol I'm thinking kickbox/core today. I have to work 1 til 11:30 today because of race day.
Belinda- I can't believe you're going through all this on your vacation!! But maybe this ear thing can be resolved once and for all once you get back to Germany. I'm glad you're at least able to burn some serious calories, now! nice workout yesterday!
Deb- How was the wedding?? I want to know how your tan turned out! Why bored with zumba? Is it the same routine most of the time?
Helene- What's the Jillian Podcast??? I saw an ad on exercise tv for a new treadmill that will take you on any terrain in the world, and you get so many workouts free with Jillian on it. I want it. Don't know where I'd put it, but I want it.
Trish- What did you think of Avatar? I haven't seen it. I think that was a great cal burn for that workout! Anything nearing 500 cals is a good burn (IMO), but then again, I'm not a cardio junkie.... Which is kinda contradictory considering what I do....LOL I believe in enough to create a deficit and to keep the body healthy and the juices flowing properly. As far as DG goes, I've overheard his friends talking about him and other women, and Annie says she's overheard things as well, but nothing concrete. To me, that's concrete. Because I'll tell you, any women that doesn't know him would follow him anywhere and do anything with him, so I'm sure it's happened. He doesn't have to try that hard. He's got looks, money, and influence. He's a win/win for most girls, until they're left at the curb. As far as the gym. It is open. Its 24 hours, and there's never been a trainer (a real one), in there. DC was telling me the last girl that did memberships/training on the machines/customer service was a smoker.
Ok ladies......I'll probably check back in before I go to work. BBL

Morning ladies,
Surprise!! I'm checking in early today. I had a good night's sleep so decided to wo this morning even though it's my rest day. I did iClimb 12 & Mari Winsor's Bun & Thigh Pilates Sculpt. Took about an hour and I burned 509 cals
Iris - Well, part of the reason I had such a good night's sleep is because I went to sleep about 10 mins into Avatar...such a spaz! I will watch it today/tonight and let you know how it is. DH watched the whole thing and liked it. I always shoot for 500 cals when I do cardio, but I don't always reach it. I wore my hrm for the first time doing LIC and was surprise how low my heart rate stayed. I guess that's low impact for you...although I know it gets higher in LM. Anyways...So, now I get why DG is after you. You're probably one of the few women that give him such a hard time; Think of the gym this way, since there is no one to compare you to (except a smoker who only worked clients on machines!!), you will be setting the bar. I say be honest with your clients that you are fairly new to this, but have been studying for a while and working out for years! I think you'll be great! I can't wait to hear about your first client

I came by this morning before working out, and no one had started the thread - then I realized I never started one and didn't know how. So, thanks Iris!
Iris, I get myself a wreck at times and so then think so what? I'll never be well-enough prepared for everything that could happen and I will screw up anyway. Believe it or not, it does help. You've had a great deal of personal experience, know a lot, and have many resources available to assist you (all of us), and a strong work ethic, plus you're wonderful personality. You'll be great. You could get a yardstick at AC Moore, Michael's or a fabric store, like JoAnn'ss. Did you try Best Fitness - I know a lot of people who go there, as well as the different Ys and JCC.
Trish, I could have easily fell asleep in the first few minutes of Avatar, and if it was last night, I wouldn't have even made it to the titles! I did like it once it got a bit into the story line more, but sci fi isn't usually my interest.
Belinda, hope this is finally the diagnosis on your ears, and that you're doing better. Running w/o an airconditioner in FL?!!! You are tough.
Lori, isn't it a sign of age when an all nighter doesn't involve alcohol? How did it go?
Amelia, what are you and the frogs up to today?
Helene, that's so generous of you to offer your house for Friday, and I'm thankful. What shall I bring?
Deb, let us know how the wedding and tanning went.
Didn't sleep well with the storms last night, but did Push/Pull this morning. Perhaps will squeeze in cardio otherwise it is a two party day - birthday and graduation.

Hi girls,
I'm going to do MM upper body.
The wedding starts tonight around 5PM. We are taking my in-laws. My in-laws wanted my MIL to wear something in her closet but when I looked nothing looked nice enough. I took her shopping and picked out a beautiful dress that fits her perfect and it put her in a really good mood
The spray tan is awesome, I feel thinner The woman told me they are doing amazing business. I wanted to do it for years but haven't because of shyness & price. I guess this makes me an official Jersey girl, ugh!!!
Iris - It's normal to be nervous. Alot of people want trainers for motivation and to get them to the gym. Others want to learn the right way to weight train. I think it's better that there hasn't been any PT trainers at the gym. Really you just have to teach them what you know. I trained with a PT many years ago and what I liked about her was she showed me how to weight train & while we were training she also discussed nutrition.
Trish - I have yet to watch Avatar because it's so long and I would probably fall asleep. Wow, you are having some good calorie burns.
Cookie - Your the new party girls 2 in one day! Great job getting your workout in.
Lori - I was passing a local park yesterday and there were all these tents set up on the lawn saw a sign that they were having the Relay for Life too!! How did it go?
Helene - I watched Jillian's new show (DVR'd it) last night. I liked it. What is a Jillian podcast?
Amelia - Do you set-up the pool everyday for the kids?
Belinda - How does your DD like intership?
Have a great day

Morning girls, checking in late with a nice workout done. I did all but one circuit in HSC and OMG,im still trying to recover from that workout. Im not sure if it was me or the fact that my eating was horrible yesterday but i was really struggling with the cardio in that one. My HR was racing at one point and i couldn't catch my breath, got light headed(why i only did 4 circuts) man that workout ROCKED!
So, even though i pigged out yesterday(read my blog, i had a vent about it this morning) the scale isn't too bad this morning. I'm back on track today.
Debbie- A spray tan sounds awesome, i wish i could afford to get one. Right now im baking in the sun everyday about the pool, a few weeks ago we got the kids a 15ft x 4ft big pool at walmart. They love it and drive me nuts to get into it everyday,lol. We plan on taking it down for the winter time...im dreading my water bill
Iris-Im sure once you start doing it you will be fine. I know you will be an outstanding personal trainer. Have you tried calling fitness world? Maybe they got busy and forgot?
Cookie-Nice job with PP this morning! My froggies are dressed and ready to get in the pool again...i think they live in there bathing suits now,LOL. Have a good time at the parties today.
Trish-Wow,491 is a fantastic calorie burn with LIC! Nice job yesterday...have a good workout today!
Hello to everyone i missed...gotta scoot, have a good day girls
