I have a personal trainer. No, for reals. Just got off the phone with him. Hes ex-military. New to the civilian trainer busy-ness. I warned him I would be writin bout him on the internets. He was basically Bring it. Okay, maybe not bring it, but he was so not fazed. I warned him a big, beautiful woman covered in tattoos and sass was comin his way next week. Dude was all, I look forward to it. He likes comic books and understands what its like to start over. Well build on that. Im so scared and excited. Lovin my body by makin it stronger, by not carryin so much weight that my heart has to work overtime to keep me goin. That love is such a gift. I wont go as hard as I did last time. My new dude said to me, he said, I dont want you to do more than you can. I want you to give me 100% of what you can do. That sounds good to me! He asked me to cut out the diet Coke altogether and to cut back to four cups of coffee a day. He asked me to cut out high sugar foods by Sunday. I feel like I should eat a cake drenched in two liters of diet Coke tomorrow.Yeah, part of me hates him already, but that just means hes already doin his job. When I told him I had Crazies, he made sure wed be at the gym (my local gym, Anytime Fitness - Nashville, GA) when it wasnt so crowded. I was a little sad when he told me he just wanted five minutes on the elliptical to start. I remember that from before. How it took me 12 minutes to do five with all the stoppin I had to do, but its okay, friends. I know what it feels like to start again. Ive been doin that my whole dang life. Startin again just means Im brave, a warrior woman whos not afraid to share that part of herself. I want to get stronger, to feel my muscles again, to treat my body like it houses my soul. Ill be writin bout this part of my journey just like last time. Ill be open and honest bout it all. Itll be beautiful and scary and empowerin and ugly. Itll be me, doin what I can. 100%, baby.
