Dazed and Confused
Huge shocker tonight when I went to work out. Trainer Kevin is gone. Just like that! I don't know the whys or wherefores and it's not really my business anyway, but...wow. I never expected this. It's not like the other trainers are bad; in fact, I had a great workout with Trainer Wayne tonight.
They're just not TK. Prince of the Push-up. Lord of the Lunge. Sultan of Squats.
::sad sigh::
I wish I'd made it to 100 push-ups or 100 pounds lost or 100 pounds on the bench press, since those were the goals he said we were gonna make, even if it killed him. But the worst part, I think, is that I didn't get to say goodbye and/or thank you, so if you'll pardon me...
Kevin, if you should ever stumble across this entry (maybe while googling "sad people in Memphis who lost their favorite trainer ever"), know that I appreciate all the great workouts, your quiet wisdom, your gentle (except when it's evil) sense of humor, and your constant encouragement. I'll miss you, but I wish you well in your next great adventure.
I think for the weekend, I'm just going to pretend it's all a bad dream. Or a really bad joke the other guys think is hilarious.
::more sad sighing::
Thank goodness I have lots going on this weekend to distract me. I'm volunteering for the FedEx Rock and Roll 150 tomorrow (and taking advantage of the masseuse while I'm there). Then I have a long list of Things That Should Be Done prior to my trip next week. I'll be trying to dodge a hurricane, too. Oh, and getting in my cardio workouts both days.
But now? I'm going to bed. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
(Texans, my thoughts are with you. Be safe!)

The rat fink!
that is too bad! I know how easy it is to form a connection with people who push and motivate you. thats how I felt when LAWL Closed and I never got to say goodbye to my favorite counselor there. but dont let it distract you or derail you from your efforts, just go with it.
What a bummer. Shame on him for not telling he was leaving. His loss, right?
Hey, just looked closely at your tippy-toes on the scale on you site. I've seen you now and know for a fact that those legs aren't any where near that fat. Ever thought of finding a skinnier version? Like a before and after tippy-toe scale :o)
Don't know what's happened to my blog site but it kept telling me that you hadn't posted since Monday. Please forgive me for not checking in on you and commenting on your two previous posts. Please? I just can't stand losing another freind this week. And especially not you...
What a shame. Maybe something really urgent came up for him that prevented him from giving you a quick courtesy call to let you know he was leaving ...
But I'm sure he was very proud of you. You are SO close to reaching a weight loss of 100 pounds, and that's what matters. He'll have known that you could reach that target as you have been consistent and worked so hard on losing weight.
Good luck with the new trainer!
That's so sad! I would be devastated if that happened. You build such a bond as time goes on. Hope you see him again!
I still miss my trainer Dara. She was the best! She made me laugh while she kicked my a$$. ;-) She's a triathlon trainer in Florida now. Sigh.
HUGE BUMMER.
change can suck even when youre ready for it----and when youre not?
worse.
Miz.
I always hate it when there's a change in the people I count most on. But we learn from them, and we can learn from the new ones too. Still, sorry to hear this.
I was reading some of your previous posts about the scale issue. I am doing a couple self checks too.
That seriously sucketh - I've had my Personal Torturer for almost a year now and I'd hate to have to change it up.
BUT it can also be a blessing in disguise. It can change up your routine and jumpstart new fitness goals.
