Personal Training Possibilities

Years ago I started training to be a personal trainer. As I usually do, I became nearly obsessed and I took to learning and reading and embracing the idea as much as I possibly could. I took it on with a passion. Then I dropped the idea with nearly as much passion. I dropped it like a ton of bricks off the Empire State Building. I lost all interest and I stopped working my own body along with it.

Why? I don't know exactly. I do know, however, that when I was in a full time live-in relationship, I dropped alot of things off the Empire State Building. But suddenly I've got the drive back. I love working out and I've been doing it nearly every spare moment that I can. My scale isn't budging nearly as much as I'd like. But - my shape is changing. As I took a look in the mirror last night I could see it. I have to start taking my measurements so I can keep track of that too.

The Biggest Loser has helped push me back in the direction of personal training. I can't deny it. I forgot the aspect of how much I'd love to help other people. Yes, that means I have to stay in shape... without a doubt but that's something I plan to do anyway. Plus... I started it... I need to finish it. Even if it's just a little bit late.

Today's results: scale is up .2 pounds from yesterday. I'm going to start being accountable to my readers now too. Pounds lost so far: 2.8
