People ask me how I'm doing after that difficult workout I posted on this blog. I stop for a few seconds and wonder what they are talking about because I never let things linger and bother me for very long. The fact is, everyone is going to have a crappy day. You, me, Chad...we're not perfect and when you work with someone as often as I do with Chad, you are bound to have disagreements and difficulties. That's pretty normal! Wouldn't you agree? As Stephanie said in a previous comment, he truly only wants what is best for me and he'll do whatever it takes to get me there. I can respect that. Moreover, working through conflict has many benefits and one being that I feel my relationship with Chad as a client and a friend has grown as a result of that day.

Chad decided, and I agree, that I need more cardio in my sessions. I need more cardio outside our sessions as well! I think that's the biggest reason why I have been stuck on this plateau for so long. One of the first things Chad said to me when I started as a client is that cardio will be the biggest thing for me. He's right. I have to get more focused and motivated with my cardio! I'm nervous because I only have a certain amount of sessions to use up then I'm not sure how I'll ever pay for personal training after that. So I can't waste any time and I must make this happen! I figure I have enough sessions to get me to mid-October - that's only 4 months away! Oh no! I can't even imagine having to say goodbye to Chad and not seeing him 3 or more times a week. Ok....I better stop talking about it or I'll cry!

In other news, I picked up a cold from Katie this week. That always scares me because I don't want to go through the experience of pneumonia ever again! I already have stuff stuck in my chest and I'm coughing. It's funny how Katie and I can have the same cold but she's bouncing around, playing and acting completely unaffected by the virus. Yet here I am, wide awake at 1am because the cold is keeping me from sleeping while she's sleeping soundly in the next room! What does that tell you? I'm either getting old or I need to have Katie's mentality about being sick and not let it affect me - push through it and play despite being uncomfortable. Life is good! Don't let anything get in the way of having fun. I guess that can be said about a lot of things....even about getting old! :)
