Temporary Trainers Step In & Dorothy Steps it Up!

“You can't hit a home run unless you step up to the plate. You can't catch fish unless you put your line in the water. You can't reach your goals if you don't try.”

Wow this has been a different week. With Paul on vacation I had several mini trainers step in. Last Thursday, on my way to the Anytime Fitness I got a text from Ryan Z to make sure I was still coming in that day. He and Alex (another trainer) convinced me to run my laps even though I didn’t want to. They were nice enough to run them with me. I was thinking the whole time I was running that Paul must have set up his spy’s before he left. LOL just kidding. I’m glad there are others trying to keep me on track.   

Then on Saturday my daughter had to come with me to the gym. She told me she was my trainer for the day.  I have to say I think she is a little harder on me then Paul J But it was fun. She couldn’t use the equipment but she did run with me, and we did crunches and push up’s together. She was also proud to tell EVERYONE how she trained me afterwards.  Paul better watch out, my 8 year old might give him a run for his money.

Something that inspired me and gave me encouragement this week was my in-laws being back in Wisconsin and seeing them. They are snowbirds and live in Florida half the year. Although their son and I are no longer together, we are still very close to them. They are the most amazing people I have ever met. Anyways, they kept telling me they were surprised at all the changes I’ve made. They were amazed at the weight loss etc. I guess I don’t notice all the changes in my own body because I’m with myself 24-7.  So it was good to hear. It just goes to show you even if you can’t see your own progress others around you can see it. I will have to remind myself of this when I am being too hard on myself!
