I’m feeling pretty good this week — worked out three entire days and actually managed to get up on time for two of them! An improvement, believe me.
My pants aren’t as tight! Yay. It must be the eggs and tangerine breakfast I get as I’m scooted out the door each morning. I love that.
Terri may well be “the second most expensive trainer in New York,” but still, she’s a bargain compared to therapy, and she’s effective. I’m starting to feel genuinely better this week - a month after restarting training. I feel more motivated, now that I’m seeing some results. When I’m training with Terri, as she’s challenging, guiding and nourishing my body, subtly, my views about myself, my work, my relationships seem to be growing too.
Thanks T.
I resolved to drag my ass out of bed to get to Terri this morning. No more missing morning sessions. My strength seems to be coming back a little. It’s still gonna be a while before I can do pull-ups again, but at least i’m back on the right track. Terri trains body and soul. The by product of becoming stronger physically seems to be growing mentally, emotionally too.
It’s true that when Terri trains you, you change inside as much as outside. I’m starting to feel like I can be an athlete. This is such a crazy unfamiliar idea. I’m not an athlete, I’m a couch potato wannabe athlete. She pushes me to change my thinking, and my bad habits. Like I must eat more than I think I should. She says I look great — not fat and flabby the way I feel. When I didn’t want to come in last week after having a terrible night, she said I wasn’t acting like a champion. She was right and I felt it and the next day I got my mental crap together and got there and we talked about being strong and making your needs known and being prepared to walk away. I want to be a champion (am I a fraud??). She’s no therapist, at least not directly. She makes me work hard, she makes me evaluate my diet and nutritional needs, she makes sure I’m taking care of everything. I really am different now. I’m stronger inside, more motivated, more confident. And I sleep at night now (I never did without ambien — every night for almost four years.) I sleep every night. thanks Terri.
