I had my last work shift of 2011 today. It’s weird, but training clients one on one means you really get to know them. I’m going to miss my girls while I’m gone! I’m pretty sure they won’t be missing me though… as my BFF says, “Everyone is supposed to hate their trainer, so they might all hate you…”
Thanks Btch. 
I balanced the steering wheel with my elbow as I ate grapes on the way home.
Then, I scarfed down a massive salad. My balanced meal approach was to put chips and cashews on top of a bed of lettuce 
Then, I had to hit up See’s Candy again. I swear this was Ben’s fault because he decided he wanted to take a box to his fam. Another sample?! Don’t mind if I do.
Again, I balanced this snack – I crumbled my candy on some yogurt for protein. 
Now I’m balancing checking emails with packing. Except, that balance seems to be 90% emails and 10% staring at my suitcase from across the room…
Okay – let me get to packing! Hope you’re having a good Friday 
That’s a great way to get balance. I think yogurt is a great vehicle for everything- cookies, candy,muffins etc. haha.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Monica! Hope you have an amazing weekend 🙂
Thanks! You too Amber 🙂
I just discovered your web site this morning and having a blast reading all the articles and posts!!!
I will attempt my first half marathon in March 2012.
Wish me luck!
Good luck on your first half!!!
Have fun in Florida! I’ll be down there too for new years, but I have definitely not even though about packing yet haha. And as I start to think about the drive I’m starting to wish I wasn’t so cheap and got a plane ticket!
Btw, I think chips on salads are amazing, wayyy better than croutons. I like to tell myself that because they’re crunchy they have extra fiber, my mind says “yeahhh that totally makes sense” and my body says “haha who are you trying to kid”
Yeah, when I bust out the Cheetos on a salad too many days in a row I know I’m kidding myself – but it’s just so good!
I always do that! Chocolate chips in yogurt, crunch on a salad, it’s the best way to eat it 🙂
I miss my gym during Christmas!! If I had met with my trainer yet, I’d probably miss her too. 🙂 Hope you have a great Christmas!
Aww, See’s, *sigh*
Love your approach! lol. Also – is it customary for clients to tip their trainers or get them a small present around Christmas (I love my trainer btw!)?
Some of my co-workers who have been training their clients for a very long time (years) do get gifts. But, it’s not customary.
It’s cool you’re so close to your clients. I’d like to get into PTing someday and hope to have the same thing!
First of all, you are too nice for anyone to hate you. Secondly, you inspire me to try new food combos. Third, I hope you have safe travels. Finally, have a Merry Christmas! (oh wait) Finally (take 2) I am really happy to have found your blog. You always brighten my day.
Thanks Lindy 🙂
