Cheat days tend to screw me up, probably because I have noooo moderation. On cheat days I usually eat until I am in pain... and then... continue eating like I will never be allowed to taste such things as chocolate ever again... it's very sad! lol

I feel your pain girl

Thanks for stopping by guys.

PreMier - You were right... there were young boys for my entertainment.

Rock - How are you? Thought you'd gone A.W.O.L from IM!

Sara - Glad to hear I am not the only one!!!

Well, I just got home from my first night of fitness theory classes and really enjoyed it. Very cool teacher, she's pretty funny and gets side tracked a LOT with little stories but at least they're entertaining.

My brain hurts

from so much activity! lol

Off to bed for me - I'm zoinked!

Rocco32 · 09-09-2004, 01:15 AM

Good night beautiful! Hope you sleep well

PreMier · 09-09-2004, 01:15 AM

chat!

Rocco32 · 09-09-2004, 01:16 AM

are you home?

Velvet · 09-09-2004, 07:13 AM

Good Morning Kerry!

Fitness Theory..humm, that sounds very interesting. I'm planning on going back to university once my son is either in college or university himself so that I can get into sports science....It seems to interest me a lot more than computers these days

What other classes do you have this semester and whats the name of the program you are taking?

Good morning Velvet. I am wanting to obtain my Personal Trainer Certification, after the Fitness Knowledge, I'll be taking the Weight Lifting Instuctors module... then I'm not sure what follows that... bare with me it's only 6:45am and I'm not quite awake! lol

How is your day going so far?

naturaltan · 09-09-2004, 08:54 AM

Brit ... which PT course are you taking?

I'm doing the BCRPA (British Columbia Parks and Recreation Board) certification course and then plan to do the ACE exam too.
Apparently the course I am taking prepares you for both exams but it is mandatory to get BCRPA certified here in BC to be able to find employment in almost all fitness facilities.

Sounds like you'll be training forest dwellers.

Hi babe!

naturaltan · 09-09-2004, 09:10 AM

Cool ... I've thought about it as well. I've seen too many trainers in our gym lately who just don't fit the bill. They may know what they're talking about, but I've always thought that a trainer should look the part as well. When I visit BC, I'll be sure to make an appointment.

Jill · 09-09-2004, 10:04 AM

What was on the menu last night?

You will now be accountable to me

Very cool! Everything is going well, but not looking forward to swimming to the gym...it's crazy raining out there!

I totally hear ya on this one.
Rod and I were discussing this last night.
There is one female trainer at our gym with a wicked physique, nice muscle defination, lean, healthy looking thing - total package who obviously 'lives' the lifestyle... she seems to be the exception rather than the rule - there are a handful of other female trainers who look like they've been sitting on the sofa for the past 10 years eating potato chips, it's stunning to me that they have ANY clients at all.
I mean where's their credibility, sure they may have the knowledge and I know that being 'fit' is more than just about the esthetics but to me that is a large part of it too.

Ah, our weather has been the shits for about two weeks now, we've had so much rain. We needed it though, we had a lot of forest fires in the Province again this year.

Alright I got up at 1:30am and had 3 (yes 3!) trail mix granola bars, 3 tbsp of peanut butter straight from the jar and a banana... oh and a protein bar for breakfast... I'm not getting on the scales today!

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
