Alright, I just heard that Led Zeppelin is reuniting.  If they can regroup in their (50's??)  I think I should be able to kick some but in my mid/late thirties!  KISS, Duran Duran they are all older than me (and have lived the rock star lifestyle)  Although,I feel like I am 50 as I was so friggin' tired this morning, I still havve enough in me. It must be the stubborn German.  Speaking of rock star lifestyle, I got my 1st tattoo 17 years ago today!   And!!! The guy that did it also tattooed Tommy Lee and various other hard rockers.  Ha!  I remember when Igot it he looked at my  i.d. (real one) twice as he was an ex-policeman.  I "barely" made the age cut off.  My (new) dad didn't speak to me for the first 3 days of my Winter break at their place in Siesta Key, but he came around and found himself bragging about it one time when he met Jon Bon Jovi at the Special Olympic event in Minneapolis that Summer.  I am proud to say that I was the first of my friends to get one (and last in some cases).  To this day, it is my favorite.  (It is one of a few around my ankle).    I thought my tattoos would be a potential problem when competing but there is a way around that.  Besides the Protan being so dark, you can also use industrial coverup as well. 

My hats off to whoever found coffee!   I have a crazy ay today as I have 8 clients scheduled to train.  What was I thinking?!!!   The good news is that I thought I was on a 50gr carb day when atfer I checked my planner, it is in fact a 75 carb day.  Woo -hooo!  

I have a CRAZY client schedule today.  Going forward, I need to remember to check my planner for my carb schedule.  MAP IT OUT as I did.  It will save you time and sanity -especially when you get the space-cases like I did this morning.  It's only going to get more intense as I get closer to competition day.  I cannot tell you how many times I misplaced my purse and car keys the last round.  

When it comes to me booking my clients, I am going to start keeping my carb amounts in mind as I schedule.  No more 7:30PM sessions.  I am zapped by then (after having 5AM clients).  I am just asking for trouble if I repeat this.  So, live and learn and move on again. 

I was able to work in my lifting (Chest & Tri's inbetween clients.   Pullaparts, "We must, we must's (increase our busts), Tri kickbacks and the good ol bench press.    I had a slight break early this afternoon when I got my cardio session in.   I kept it at minimal (low fat burn) as I needed to save some energy for my next 3 back to back client sessions.   Bedtime cannot come soon enough.  That brings up another point, I try to get at LEAST 8 hours of sleep every night.  I am one of those that need closer to 9 hours of sleep to stay operational.  I seriously think that having mono in high school contributes to my need for more sleep.  Because if I don't, I feel like I am more susseptable to getting sick.   I also get a flu shot as I am around many clients and have had asthma/bronchitis so, it's a good idea. 

Our treadmill  is finally back on track.  2nd Wind was out here (for the 3rd time) yesterday.  The guy was super nice and took extra time to make sure the belt was operating correctly but, he still had to order another motor as he could not figure out where the squeak/tweak was coming from.   This will be the 3rd motor for this treadmill which considering that it is a Pace Master blows my mind.   If this one will not work, then it will be 3 strikes and it's out of here.  I don't know of anyone else that has had this many problems only 6 months into it's life.  Maybe it's the only lemon they have.  Again, I have heard nothing but great things about these treadmills so I am puzzled.   It's not as though it was a Sears ppecial or a close out.  It was well over $2K.  You get what you pay for and like any machine, it still needs maintenance but I certainly hope this will be the last of our issues.
