biceps :)

So i feel like I left everyone off with cliff hanger last month and decided it was time to sit down and give an update on my crazy little life! Studying to be a personal trainer has been interesting to put it simply. There are days where I feel like I am a complete psycho and can't believe I ever signed up for this program. Then there's days like today. Today during our lab hour, we had an extra long workout and I really pushed myself because I can get tired of being the weaker trainer (the other kid in my class is a stocky buff gym guy {yes there really is just me in him in all my classes}). Obviously my cardio routine I've done for the last year doesn't exactly make me look strong the way his workouts do.

At the same time though, I realized that I had gotten comfortable with my routine at the gym and had stopped pushing myself much in recent months. So anyways the past few days I've really been trying harder, risking failing and looking like an idiot at the gym (while wearing a bright red T-shirt labeled "Personal Trainer in Training" on the back- talk about drawing attention to yourself!!!) all so I can start seeing results again.

So we get back from the gym, I go sit at my desk, cross my arms and boom! I noticed that I could feel my biceps flexed out and they were def sticking out farther than what I'm used to. I waited until after class that day but then flexed around for a bit and realized there's a big difference in my arms with what they're like now and what they were like even a month ago when I first started my program. I showed Steven when I got home because I was so pumped about seeing results and so proud of myself for the hard work I've been doing.

So it's days like these that remind me that I'm not completely crazy. I am growing (literally) and getting stronger every day. I'm even learning things that I've been able to use to help Steven who is constantly battered with sports injuries. and then I have Ryan cheering me on...

So overall I think I got this :)
