OK well here I am! I have finally become a Certified Personal Trainer. I am very excited to start a new chapter of my life. I really want to help people get in shape, and I want to hone my interpersonal skills as well. I am thinking I would like to focus on youth fitness. I think with my background in child care as well as my time spent giving both group and private swim lessons will loan itself well to me. Plus I am generally great with kids.
I realized something about myself today that is actually really humorous. I was cold calling and obviously not thoroughly enjoying myself, when it started getting sunny (finally) in Monterey. Luckily I just bought some new sunglasses because JJ has been gently encouraging me to stop looking like such a bum and buy some new clothes. Anyway, I came to realize that while cold calling, I can't help but feel cool walking in wearing sunglasses, and then taking them off in front CSI Miami style. Haha... it makes me laugh thinking that I have found something so simple that makes it easier to walk into these random businesses and try to convince them I really am trying to help. It made the rest of my day much easier, so I'm going to have to remember to keep that up.
My injuries are finally starting to heal. Some tiny muscle under my rib got pulled hard and has been bugging me for almost 2 weeks now. The real concern is my right elbow which I hyperextended really badly during randori with Judo Patrick. I felt 3 distinct pops when it happened, rapidfire. It still hurts when do bicep curls and most tricep exercises. Haven't been able to train in a while and I am itching to get back into it. The combination of the injuries has made it impossible to do just about anything but tomorrow I would like to start going back at it. Obviously I will take it easy to ensure I heal up, but I would like to go for a jog. It's so late right now and I should really be waking up at a decent hour to go jogging in the morning. Boy oh boy. It's gonna be an interesting day tomorrow....
