This = That

Fetish is peeing in the living room again, so is imprisoned in the downstairs bathroom for the foreseeable future. She's only allowed out when I have the time to keep her in my line of sight. This means I set aside twenty morning minutes and an evening hour to sit on the couch with her. Sometimes this makes me late to bed. You can imagine what it's doing for my activity level and productive endeavors. Pet Ownership = Awesome.

Last night was my first real workout session with Trainer Chris D. That was productive. We ran through all of Workout Day Two (which I'll detail in a separate post) and a few specifics from Days One and Three. He pointed out several form errors and modified a few movements (some he made easier, some harder). We also yapped a lot. Talkative Trainer + Talkative Trainee = Good Relationship but Mediocre Workout. I need to buckle down more, but in this beginning stage, the knowledge/opinion exchange is helpful and good.

There were a couple unfriendly trainers there last night. Snotty-seeming. Wouldn't-even-make-eye-contact-when-I-walked-in-level snotty. This was disappointing, since one of them is certified in some fancy soft-tissue rehabilitation techniques and could be nice to utilize. But I'm not certain I want to give him money. I was hoping for some sort of rah-rah "we're all in this together!" mentality from this gym, but perhaps I expected too much. People = Often Suck.
