Today was marked with a tinge of sadness. You see it was my last day with my personal trainer. His name is Isaiah. He was recently promoted to become a fitness manager at one of the branches of Fitness First and I'm really happy for him! We've been talking about it for a few weeks now and the day finally came. However, I was hoping against hope that there would be some way for me to continue under him. I've lost over 12 kg with his guidance and pushing and have my utmost trust and faith in him. However, as luck would have it I am now without my trainer because he is going to be stuck at his center which is pretty far away come August 1.
He has promised to find me a replacement but of course I am wary of any new person. Afterall, I know that his methods have worked. I really didn't want a change but now I have no choice. I was considering stopping using a trainer and still am. I don't like change! Fortuately, I still have three more sessions which will be taken over by the new chap. He was supposed to turn up today for a meet and greet but didn't and that immediately made me even more apprehensive. I am supposed to meet him on Wednesday for my first session and well I have nothing to lose st this point! So I'll give him a go!
What I fear most is not being able to gel with the new guy! I've worked real hard to get to this point! I've not exercised this much for ages in fact probably never execised this hard. I go to the gym because I have to not because I enjoy it! I don't want to break the momentum but I don't have an option! I'm really afraid that things might not work out and I'll somehow lose interest. Oh how I wish this had not happened but it has so I have to deal with it somehow and can only hope that the new guy is as good as Isaiah.
After my final session with Isaiah today we shook hands and parted company! I really felt sad! More so for myself and what my future at the gym holds! I am, like i said, happy for him and his promotion! I decided then that I'd write a post about it.
Later, after dinner when I was flipping through the newspapers (Star) and checked my horoscope (Cancer) and saw the prediction - I was dumbstruck. Can you imagine my surprise because this is what it said:
Something ends. This is an ending you were hoping to prevent but now it's up to you to see what you can salvage.
One can only wonder!

I'm sorry about your trainer. I hope you find another you like as much.
Janicenw! Yeah I really wish we could have continued until I finished my program! Now I'll have to see how it goes! Must be positive though! :)
Go for it Buddy! It all lies on your determination in wanting to do this and for as painfully (grooaannn ... LOL!) long as I've known you, you don't give up on something without a fight! Besides you didn't like me when we first met, look at us now, still bitter enemies .. hahaha ... so you just might click with this guy (urrmm, somehow that didn't sound right la, clicking with a guy ... LOL!)
Wow Adrian! 12 kgs, I'm so so impressed! :)
Abt the horoscope, I didn't find it surprising cause I read mine every day and they almost always relate to something in my life on that particular day! So u should read yours every day too LOL! :)
sry that you have to lose a great trainer, adrian! hope you will hv the 'spark' with the new chap like it was with Isaiah.
boy, 12 kgs? That's amazing! Good job! Keep it up, ya! Bet u hv a muscular body. :)
Marzie! I do read my horoscope every day too but it's not always so darn accurate! I mean it hit the nail right on the head, didn't it!
Jean! Yes I hope so too! :)
I wish! Right now I look more like a big bear! LOL Actually 12 kgs is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg LOL I've got a long long long way to go! :)
Adrian, you are really good. I can imagine how toned your body is & lost over 12 kg. Sorry that this mavellous trainer is leaving. I believe you will be able to hook up with the new one to come. Good luck to your training. Looks like I'm the only person who din exercise now... sob sob...
Janice, I wish it were so! Still have a long way to go! I can only hope the new trainer is good! Thanks! Taking care of two kids is exercise too lah Jan! :)
Adrian!! But I read mine in MM instead of STAR, maybe u should switch to MM - the Paper that Cares LOL! ;)
LOL! really meh? ok, i'll give u moral support!! go, adrian, go!! :))
I read mine in the Star and NST! Stopped reading MM quite a while now! I guess I don't care about the paper that cares! Besides us daytime people need the morning news LOL
Jean! Yup will take all the moral support can get! LOL
Ha ha ha, daytime ppl it seems! Adrian, FYI I got up at 9am today! WOW right?! :)
MM is my fav paper. Besides having a soft spot for my former employer, it's so much easier to hold and read compared to Star's bulkiness :) :)
Good Heavens! You got up at 9...it's probably going to rain cats and dogs now! Oh it has been hasn't it LOL
I used to like MM unitl they changed management/format then lost interest and never went back! Yeah Star is more ads than news and I hate it...prefer NST! Better writers plus got family ties there mah LOL
Adrian, I think that you would honor Isaiah's commitment to you by moving on and accomplishing your goal. Keep up the good work, you can do it!
:) Ann
Ann! Thank you so much! Yes I know I have to keep on striving no matter what obstacles come my way! Just take it as another challenge! :) Cheers to you!
