Good news, bad news

Apr 11, 2011

Working backwards because I want to end on a good/positive note, I just want to say I HATE personal trainers!!!!! I have never ever had a good experience with one single one. I think I give up!!

I had my "free" session with a personal trainer this morning. I got it for joining my new gym, which I still love by the way, despite the 21 yr old jerk that had me in tears this morning.

It was more of a fitness evaluation than a training session, which is fine. Obviously they need to know where you're at before you begin, right? Well I should have known it was weird when BEFORE we even started, he showed me the plan he had laid out for me and I thought...."Huh? That's weird. He doesnt even know what my goals are or what level I am at." He hadnt met me yet at all as a matter of fact. He didnt even know I was obese. Kind of bizarre to set up a personal training schedule with someone before ever having met them...especially one as intense as he'd shown me.

So we went through the whole session and it was ok. He was surprised at how well I did.....I think he probably had preconceived notions about how I would do.

So we sat down and he started talking about where I started, and what I'd done so far was great....(he even high fived me on losing 30lbs from the beginning to now) and then came the kicker.....

He tells me the cost.
The cost of his well laid out 1 yr plan to turn me into an olypic athlete..... $8000!!!!!!!!!

Seriously??
$8000?????

I laughed.
thats when he said..."well I dont think you are taking your health seriously. You obviously cant do this on your own"

Dude, didnt you just high five me for losing 30lbs??

Anyways....I was so angry with that statement I just walked out.
ME???? Not taking my health seriously?????

HE HAS NO CLUE what I have done and what changes I have made in my life and what kinds of HELL I have been through to get myself to this place where I can put myself first for ONCE in my life....he has no idea that my health is my NUMBER ONE priority in my life now and it takes every ounce of self control and using every positive self talking trick I ever learned just to be able to not feel guilty about that!!!! He has no RIGHT to say that I am not taking my health seriously!!

Oh I was FURIOUS!!! And of course, because I was so mad, the tears started....
not embarassing at all to be in the women's change room, bawling your eyes out.

ARG!! SO RUDE!!!

*deep breath*

And for the good news...

I saw Dr Dent this morning. He is extraordinarily happy with the changes I have made in my life with regards to diet, physical activity and attitude AND he booked me for my next appts with the dietitan and the behaviourist....and thats it!!!! I see the surgeon afterwards!!!! No other tests necessary, no other appointments necessary!!!

I see them on May 11!!!!

I am SOOOOO excited!!!! If it hadnt been for David-the ass trainer this morning interrupting my euphoria...I would be happy dancing all over the place! ;)
So, as my Honey said to me when I called him to cry....Screw him and the midget horse he rode in on!!!!

LOL!!

It will be pretty hard to dampen my enthusiasm and motivation now!! :)
*happy dance*
