Well, I've decided to cancel my membership here. It expires next week. My trainer finally has his life back in order, more or less, so I have an appointment with him tomorrow (yippee!), so I'm good for another month. I also found a program for my Palm Pilot that will let me program workouts to take with me to the gym, so if he flakes out on me again, I'll still be able to figure something out, and I won't have to pay anybody for it. Mainly, I've discovered, I just need some moral support. I...

My trainer finally called me and made an appointment for Monday! I am so excited! It has been months and months since I had a training session with him and it's been increasingly difficult to stay focused and motivated. I haven't strayed too far from the path, but I'm about 3 pounds heavier than I want to be (I know, I know -- big deal! But it's the thin edge of the wedge, you know?). I have no real life supporters. My husband, the couch potato couldn't care less whether I'm fit or not. Do you k...

I've been sick. Sicker than usual, as I normally don't get sick, and when I do, it's not very bad. This one has knocked me on my butt for a couple of days. I'm still stuffed up and feel drained, but I've decided I have to get back to normal and get these germs out of here. In the past, it always helps to sweat it out. Put on a sweatshirt and get on the elliptical for half an hour. Today is a weight-lifting day, though, so I'm going to do the lightweight routine recommended by the site instead of...

I made it to the gym again today and did my prescribed workout, to which I added three sets of a different routine for each muscle worked. I sure wish this site would crank out a 60-minute routine when I ask for one. The routine I'm given lasts 20-30 minutes, depending on the day. I did shoulders, traps, and triceps.
Ever since I joined 24-Hour Fitness, I've noticed a marked difference in the people who come there vs. the people who used to go to the rec center. At the rec center, it was ...

I wonder how many members are in this community. I don't see much activity anywhere. I left one guy a note on his blog, but didn't get any response. As usual, I guess I'm in this alone. *sigh*
Not much going on. My trainer hasn't called me. It's been a week tomorrow since he moved into his new house. And since I'm apparently the only client who actually came and worked on it, I'm surprised he didn't call. But not surprised, too. I'll just move on and if he calls, he calls. I'm not holding...

During the week, I decided to take my butt (and my massage chair) over to the place where they were building a new house for my trainer (a home makeover thing) and worked four long days in the sun helping finish this house. I got sunburned and dehydrated, but my soul was filled to overflowing and I feel better about the whole thing with him. He said he wants to start doing workouts again and expand our relationship in other ways (business), so I'm feeling good about it. If he calls me, I will be...

This past week has been a roller coaster ride. I've been feeling down because my trainer has been on the news and seeing him and hearing his voice again made me realize how much I've missed him. Not just the trainer part, but him as a person. He's basically a very nice guy, but his life has been so hectice the past 6 months (he was forced to move out of his house) that he hasn't had time for clients like me, I guess. He didn't actually dump me, but he didn't return my calls, either. Maybe he'll ...

I did my edited workout for legs and biceps on Monday, and today I'm feeling the pain, so to speak. I guess the way I bumped it up was really a good workout and it took 86 minutes instead of a measly 45 or so. I was pleased about that. Today's workout, even with the added exercises, only took 48 minutes, which is better than 30.
I think I spoke too soon about the virtues of the new web improvements of this site. Even though I edited and saved my most recent workouts, they did not transla...

Today I logged on to find a new format to the site with the capability to add and modify my workout. I am loving it a lot more than last week, I'll tell you! I was able to add three sets of a different exercise to each muscle group, so my workout lasted a full hour instead of the usual piddling 30-40 minutes. I feel like I had a really great workout today. And I was able to save my workout so that it shows up again next time without my having to make a bunch of changes each and every DAY. Thank ...
