Ok -- yesterday I met with my personal trainer -- Jackie. She had me fill out a contact and health form. We talked about my seizure a little bit -- I believe I calmed her down by telling her all the positive health steps I've taken since the episode that occurred almost 6 months ago.
She talked about her style -- she will push me, but she won't put up with any whining. She even told me that she has walked out twice on whiners! So no whining. But then she says that she watches the persons body for signs that they really have reached their limit, rather than listening to what comes out of the person's mouth. Good strategy.
She weighed me, did a body fat composition test and measured my arms waist and stomach. On a positive note, she noted that I already have a triceps muscle popping out. :) To be fair, I have been working that set of muscles a lot for the past 6 months.
I went to the YWCA today and chatted with a floor supervisor. He said, as much as I've been coming to the Y I shouldn't have too much trouble with Jackie. He said the ones that are in trouble are the ones who haven't done anything in a long while.
So hopefully, I'm prepared for Tuesday at 5:00pm.
