I am completely irrational with my cat when I am tired and ready for bed.
I just yelled at him because his poop smelled. Seriously,...as if I expected a lavender/vanilla scented yankee candle to pop out of that joker. He just looked at me as if to give me the finger...or paw...whatever. Understandable, I get it. However, he still licks his butt, thus I can't take him seriously...(one of my universal rules)...
Today ended up being a great day. Had some excellent conversations with clients...although, I felt a little bad about getting on my 78 year old client about being late. I mean my God, she's 78 years old. I will purposefully be late to everything when I'm 78....just to say "screw you, I'm 78 years old...'on time' means absolutely nothing to me". Truth is, we just give her a hard time because she, and her daughter, are never punctual. It must be hereditary.
I also got to train a client I haven't seen in a few months, so that was awesome. You're quickly reminded that training is more than just helping a body move better and get stronger. You impact a mind and soul...and its ultimately about a relationship. It was great to catch up, laugh, and make him appreciate normal breathing and a heartrate under 160. A trooper for sure.
My workout today went better than I expected, considering how tired I was. I hit a wall around 10:00 this morning that was about 2 notches below my 3pm wall. It was pretty rough. Nonetheless, once I started moving I was pretty good to go. I had back and core...back weights were kept heavy...reps 5-10. Then came some cardio. This got comical. I did the best cardio for people with ADD. I started on the treadmill at the highest incline walking, then switched to the elliptical when the song changed on my iPod...back and forth. By the time I got bored, it was time to switch. Sort of like cardio for 6 year olds, but whatever it worked. 35 minutes went by a lot faster than I expected. Here's the greatest part...
When I got done with weights I had to switch off the angry rock music...mainly because if I built up anymore aggression, I would have to enter cage fighting. So for cardio I wanted to go with something that would not make me anymore angry than I'd already be from doing cardio. Am I making sense? Thus,...I ended up listening to my Christmas music mix. I know, I've lost my mind. I only listened to the faster songs, and delightfully discovered that the majority of Christmas songs are less than 3 minutes....which meant I was moving from one machine to the next like a cardio-crazed crackhead. It was sick...I actually could not help but be happy while listening to that music. I love it. My thought process would go something like this:...."Oh man this walking is horrible...ooo Santa!....ugh, I can't feel my legs....ah yes, its the most wonderful time of the year!....this elliptical is straight from Satin himself.....deck the halls!..." It was like I was so angry about the fact that I couldn't be angry because I was happy. You can see how this cardio session turned into a comic strip pretty quickly. Eh,...whatever it takes to get it done...
Time for some sleep.
Great day....good friends...good workout...smelly cat poo...my day is complete...
Night!
