I finished up my personal training last week before I left. Overall, I would grade it a solid C. My last day was supposed to be the Friday before I left, but I showed up and my trainer never did. I didn't hear from him until about noon that day after I had texted him a few times, and he said we would reschedule for Monday, and then he was going to give me two free sessions because he canceled on me so many times. So we worked out Monday and that was good. Then he canceled on me both Tuesday & Wednesday mornings. So, those sessions didn't really work out. I would say over the whole 12 sessions I paid for, he probably canceled and rescheduled at least 5 times. I don't really mind rescheduling, but there were several times I showed up and didn't hear from him until well after designated times. Other times, I would get a text right before I was leaving the house to go.
I really like him as a person, and I really like the way he markets his company and the workouts were great. I just think he has some things to work out. I found it incredibly frustrating trying to get together with him. He just had his first baby, and I'm not denying that that is hard, but new dads aren't calling in to work everyday all over the country. I have to work 4-5 hours to pay for 1 hour of his time. I was also a little frustrated, because a lot during our sessions he would be on his phone or texting. There was also one time, I showed up for my session and he was training another person at the same time. He offers group sessions, but I was paying for individual and so I paid him the full price for that session and did not get all the attention. Now, there was one time when I requested that someone else work out with us, It was a woman I had really been wanting to meet and that was great. I just felt weird about not even being warned and just expecting that it was okay. I was pretty shocked when I showed up. Like I said, for almost $50 an hour, I just feel that all of your attention should be on who you are training. I certainly don't get paid $50/hour.
So, since he canceled Wednesday, I decided to do weights on my own and I did really well! I even went into what I call the big boy weight room and did squats on the machines. I was pretty sore the next day, but it was good that I knew what to do with the machines and how to do them safely. That was my main goal from training was to learn how to use the gym and feel confident on my own. So, that goal was definitely accomplished.
Now to vacation time....
It was wonderful. The weather was great. The wedding was perfect. It was really fun. My grandparents live in Naples, FL, so my Aunt decided to get married there at the Ritz Carlton. We left Thursday morning and came back Sunday.
I ate so much more than I have been. My stomach was not happy. I felt really bad one day and I know it was because I was putting all this junk in my body again. My body is so confused, junk, healthy, junk. LOL. It reminded me of how I used to feel all the time, and I did not like it.
So now its back to healthy menu and back to the gym. Somehow I still managed to lose 2.5 lbs last week. We'll see if it catches up to me this week.
The wedding was so fun. They got married on the terrace at the Ritz and it was beautiful. Right when they said I do, thunder cracked and a downpour began but at least we got the ceremony through before that! We then went into a private dining room and ate a huge meal. It was delicious! Halfway through the fire alarm went off and the entire Ritz had to evacuate! It was lots to laugh about. It was so great to see my Aunt so happy!
Here are some pictures from the trip!
