A New Gym, and a Fresh Start

Monday Morning, I see this on my trainer's page:

Just to cease any rumors from starting I am no longer with ******* *******. That's it, no need for any further discussion. I don't believe in profiting from talking bad about or bashing others and i won't do it with this post. It was only a temporary job for me while I decided what I wanted to really do with my fitness career, not a big deal. I wish all my clients and friends the best with your fitness adventures and know that I am only a text or phone call away if you need help! This is a very good change for me mentally as now I am free again to pursue new adventures and really do something big on my own terms. Those of you who know my alpha personality its really the only option for me moving forward. The best is yet to come. Big thanks again to those of you I've met along the way you will always be family.

Um, WHAT?!?!  I knew this was coming, but it still hit me hard. I've been working really hard, and just started nutrition class, Matt just started officially training too. Oh, man. I felt kinda lost and abandoned right then.

Then, things got really positive. he said he was going to keep training us, even if we trained at a park. The kids were pumped. I was immediately in defense mode rallying together for our trainer. I sent an email to the owner of ******* ******* canceling our memberships, and we were all kind of on an exodus high feeling liberated and free from corporate corruption.

Then, Wednesday, things got crazy. I could tell he was getting discouraged, and my mama bear comes out (yes, even with friends). Who's messing with my friend?! Lemme at em!  Then, I'm afraid he really is going to quit being a trainer altogether, and I start feeling like an abandoned puppy in the rain. 4 hours later, he says we have a gym! Oh my goodness. I'm still recovering from Whiplash Wednesday!!! lol

The new gym is bigger, much more family friendly, less expensive, and has more equipment and classes available. I am so happy with the change.

Today was the first day training there. I brought the kids. They stayed in the play area. The play area has a bunch of toys, and even a train table. There are 2 dogs who stay at the gym: a boxer and a cocker spaniel. They are too sweet and just love everybody. 

Last week threw me off so bad. I hardly worked out, made bad food choices by the end, and ended up gaining 2 pounds. I am excited to get back on track and whip myself back into shape!
