I've been able to be at the gym a lot more now and I'm up to 5 clients but I had my final exams and I'm in the process of moving to a new place so it's been hard to be at the gym all the time but I have been going as much as I can. I just had a meeting with PT manager yesterday and we went over last month and getting adjusted and then did some goal setting for the month of May. So now I know where I need to be at atthe end of the month and it gives me an idea of how much time I need to put in. No surprise that this is coming up again but I need to be more outgoing when I'm at the gym and just in general. I have already stepped out of my shell quite a bit since I first became a trainer but I need to get it even further. I have trouble just talking to random people and I hate that I do. It will come though, the more times I try it the more it will happen and the better I will get at it.

As far as my own training goes, I have recently joined the 200 club. I hit 202 on Wednesday and it feels great. I want to get a bit bigger still and then once my season comes around I want to shed any excess fat and be at about 205. I don't feel like I've lost any speed which is great. I just have to work on improving my speed, acceleration and vertical. I am a long way off from the athlete that I want to be but I am working my ass off to get there.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

I've been busy over the last few days with re-certifying my CPR and having ID camp with my team this weekend so since my last post I have only worked 2 or 3 days I think. This week will be a bit hectic with trying to get my everything done for the last week of classes, but my plan is to try and get out on the floor as much as I can and be interactive with all the potential clients in the gym. Once I can get more hours in the gym and start working out at Gold`s I will be able to be more interactive the everyone and get my name going around the gym and then start getting more clients on the go. I can`t wait for that time to come. Then my summer will consist of personal training, training myself, soccer and upgrading my courses I started in February; that is all I really care about. A few relaxation days in there but the busier I keep myself the more I get done.

Speaking of keeping myself busy; that is what I am going to have to do for the next 4 years to keep my sanity in Lethbridge. I am not a fan of the flat lands and I cannot wait to get back to BC. An example of why I am not a big fan; I was riding home from work today and I have to ride into the west wind that blows through Lethbridge (which, by the way, always blows through) and I could literally barely pedal at some points. Yea it`s windy in BC but it will be windy for 3 days, tops! In Lethbridge, it is constantly windy. The biggest thing keeping me here is to play soccer. Yea there are good people and I am doing school but I can meet good people wherever I go and I could transfer schools if I wanted to. But, I`ll put my time in and then I get to do what I love to do forever and I get to live in the nicest place on earth.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

Ah so you noticed I changed the look of the blog. I like it but we'll see how long I like it for. The new look of the blog is not to represent a new look for myself but a new way I want to approach things (or something like that, it makes sense in my head). Anyways, I want to change the way I go about things in my life, particularly I want to start being more outgoing. Coming into this job at Gold's Gym and having worked at a gym before I know that I need to get out of my bubble and approach people and get sales. From there it is the easy part of my job which is training. If I can begin to get more outgoing with my job it will get me more outgoing in everyday life and through university. Or maybe I need to do it the other way around. Nonetheless I need to get out of my bubble and change the way I do things, enough said.

By the way, I plan on blogging a lot more now that it's summer but also bring it in to next year as well. For some reason I think I need to write some huge paper every time I'm on here but I'll just be doing smaller ones every once couple days.
