Yikes! This call came at just the right time! Did God send a message to the Gym..telling them, in no uncertain terms, that they needed to convince Shawn to get with the program! He knows that I have not been treating my body as a Temple but more like a port-a-potty! Yes, me, the one that can eat cookies and candy for dinner. I could eat an ice cream sandwich, have a glass of wine and call it good!
Today was the day! I was scheduled for 11:30. Yesterday I was excited but today, not so much. Well, this morning Hubby and I were having a debate on the Lutheran Catechism, I put my coffee cup in the microwave, and when the timer went off I was debating my point and did not notice the coffee was BOILING. Yep, you guessed it, I received a nice burn on the palm of my hand. Oh, my perfect out to going to the gym! I left a message on Shayne's voice mail telling him I could not possibly workout today..I may
A few minutes later he returned my call. We would not be working out, he wanted to get to know me, do a health assessment, measure me and talk about nutrition. Oh Crap, I was doomed. I could not think of an excuse fast enough. So, off I went, head hung low, the woman that has been paying for the health club membership and not attending.
We met, we talked, I weighed, he measured, he
All in the Day of MY Journey to a Marathon!
Can not wait until Thursday for our next session!
I've never actually used a personal trainer before. I've seen them at the gym but it doesn't seem really special to me... maybe that's just me? Or maybe I need someone like Jillian Michaels screaming in my face.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be cool to have someone help me set up a routine. But our gym wants $90.00 for 4 hours of training and though it's probably not a lot, for me it's tons.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Shawn. I hope you hand heals fast. Take care of yourself.
Have a blessed evening.

ReplyDeleteHere's the recipe I use...
Ingredients
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* Pinch ground nutmeg
* 1 tablespoon cornstarch
* Oil, for the iron
* Special equipment: Waffle cone iron; wooden cone-form
Directions
In a bowl with a whisk, whip the cream with the vanilla until mousse-like (it won't form peaks.) Sift the remaining ingredients together and stir them into the cream to make a batter. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes.
Heat up waffle cone iron and brush with a little oil. Pour some batter in and close the lid to bake and brown. Open the iron and remove the browned batter and fold over itself, overlapping it, on a wooden cone-form into a cone. Let cool then top with a scoop of ice cream
