If I had one of those mood rings, the ring would indicate "annoyed"

Honestly, if anything goes wrong at work, I'll probably cry.

I got a facebook message from my "trainer" this morning (that I haven't even MET YET) that he left at 12:30am... I had woken up at 5am because I was SO EXCITED to go to the gym and workout with him... and then WA WAAAAAAAA

It said, "hey! can you come on Monday wit ur cuz? you will still get a discount big time through me! text me at ####### if u want! tonight has been crazy!!"

and then two texts from my cousin saying, the trainer, (we'll call him Nate) says he can't make it this morning, come with me Monday. REALLY?! REALLY?!

I was literally WIDE AWAKE. 5am...

And furthermore, I DON'T want to go to a GROUP session with my COUSIN. I texted him to say, "monday's fine"

But then I emailed his director who I had talked to earlier asking about the promotions, because I knew they were running out soon... GOOD THING I DID! Apparently, they run out TODAY. AWESOME NATE... trying to dupe me out of a discount I see... well I foiled that plan, because I called your boss lady and tattled.

Now, I know he wasn't trying to dupe me, and I'm sure he had a great reason to have his 13 year old sister draft a facebook messege... seriously? wit ur cuz? But I want to get down to work dammit! And I want to do it now.

So he called at 3:30 to schedule a "sit down" right after work. Done and done. I've printed up a copy of my calendar so we can compare schedules and I printed off my top 3 goals. Which are as follows: (unless he suggests better ones).

Goal 1. I would like to be held accountable for my cardio, both time and intensity, during the week.
Goal 2. I'm very interested in building a good strength training base to build off of. I have a degree in Health and Human Performance but I think I struggle with putting together a good program for myself that I'm interested in doing for more than 2 days...
3. Lastly, weight loss is a goal of mine, but I'm not interested in being thin, weak and unhealthy. Strength & health is my main focus.

Anyways, just incase you're wondering, I went to the gym and did strength training for the whole time. from 5:30am till a little after 6... and then I showered and treated myself to an iced chai and a muffin... dangit.

*** Second update****
I'm doing a contest on facebook with some girls I know through a friend called "cash for chunkers" It's "Biggest Loser" style. First prize is like $75. Booyah. That can pay for two training sessions... Oh! and the % winner each week gets $10. Sweet!
