Day 3 of ADHD Meds & a little rant!
Ok, I have been working out with a personal trainer now for a few months. 2 days a week strength training with some cardio. But I don’t think I am going to hire her back. I’m quite disappointed. We have been on the these same sessions (I have to pay for 8 at a time) for about 1 1/2 months. Everytime you turn around, she is either late, brings her son because he was sick or other excuses, doesn’t show up and calls right at 9am when our session is suppose to begin, and says she overslept. Very aggravating…especially when I lack motivation to exercise to begin with! But here I am ready and raring to go, and she is the one in bed! Very unprofessional! and thats all I got to say bout that! what are your thoughts? Am I being to harsh? or should I give her another shot.
Todd and I work out together when I don’t train with her. Don’t tell him I told you, but he will do hip hop abs and some yoga booty ballet with me!! loloolol! Oh, he would kill me if he knew I told anybody!! lololol! But let me tell ya, that Yoga booty ballet ain’t no kid game! It is hard work! I mean I can use the elliptical for 20 minutes and not sweat as much as I do with this particular exercise. I really love it, but it wears me out! I really need to be in better shape, but I guess doing these exercies will get me in better shape so that I can do the “booty” with no problems! My knees are bad because of all that extra weight I carried for all those years. So I hve to be careful! But, I do feel like I am getting stronger! Thank you Lord!! Me and Todd have fun exercising together though. He is in perfect shape, never had any major health problems…knock on wood. I am grateful for that! But I’m afraid that if I don’t hire her back, it will be easy to say…well, we really have a lot of work to do in the studio or I don’t feel good…you know all those famous excuses! and I will gradually quit exercising. Geez, I know myself toooo well!! anyway…I will quit griping now!!
No difference noticed in the 20g Adderall xr meds. uhmmm! I’m still all over the place trying to get 50 things done all at the same time! Still tired, my legs can’t sit still! I will give it some more time, but it was my understanding that it was supppose to start working asap. Maybe I am just anxious!!
Oh, yeah, let me tell you this!!! My daughter and I went window shopping at the mall, and someone walked up to her and ask if she was wearing MAC eyeshadow, and she proudly said no, I am wearing my mothers makeup and gave them a business card!! lol!! Now ain’t that the coolest thing! But the funny part is, she is only 13 yrs. old! I absolutely loved it!!! She carries our business cards with her everywhere! One day, we were at Sams club and there was a gentlemen there selling a line of mineral makeup (I won’t name names!!) and ladies were around just checking it out! My daughter walks up, and the man ask if she would like to try some foundation. She told him ever so politely that she wears her Mom’s minerals, and he just looked so surprised, and ask what kind. OF course she told him. Then she ask him what was in his foundation!!! And he said well, what is in your Mom’s foundation with a bit of caddiness in his voice. And low and behold, this chick start spouting off our ingredients. And I stepped in, he smiled. I introduced myself. I did look at his foundation, and I just had to laugh. I couldn’t even pronouce some of the supposedly natural ingredients in his foundation! It was pretty funny to see the look on his face!! This little 13 year old was definitely in her makeup element!!! I was sooo proud!!!
well, I better get back to work. I just had the trainer on my mind and just had to get it off my chest! And then I start rattling about everything else!!! Have a great afternoon!
Chow pals!

I’m lat to this party, but..You wrote:

“But I’m afraid that if I don’t hire her back, it will be easy to say…well, we really have a lot of work to do in the studio or I don’t feel good…you know all those famous excuses!”
IMHO, You HIRED her, not the other way around. So that means she’s just like any other employee. Would any employer put up with it? No. So, go find another trainer. There has to be more than 1 in your area. JMHO.
