Disclaimer: Anyone who might be reading this please remember this is where I work out my feelings, both positive and negative. And if you're a coach (especially one of mine) you probably really don't want to read the last half of this post. Trust me on this. But if you choose to do so please don't take any resentment about what I wrote out on me but rather just fess up you read it and ask me about it. And please remember I need to vent sometimes just as you do!
Finally think I have gotten the hang of this nutrition thing and eating right. It's not as easy as it looks. After being disappointed by not losing the 21lbs. I was really striving for in the month of August I had a choice that it could either defeat me (because I missed the goal I really wanted by 7lbs.) and fall off the wagon once again or I could choose to stay on track with the nutrition plan and work to get those 7lbs. off and then some for the month of September. I stayed on the nutrition plan and believe I'm stronger with it than ever before. I still weigh and measure all my food. I know by now I should know how much 3 or 4 ounces is and how much a 1/2 cup or 1 cup is and I'm usually pretty close when I weigh and measure it out but I just really want to get this right to where I don't even have to think about it one day and it becomes a life style that I don't have to give a second thought to. I haven't decided how much I want to lose for September or if I even want to put a number on it. I may take this month off from putting a number to it and see how it goes and then reevaluate for October by looking at August and September. I haven't asked the coach about it and I really don't think he wants to entertain the thought because I do get disappointed when I don't meet my goals and that irritates him. I just wish somehow I could convince him I get disappointed in myself because it matters to me and I really want this for myself. I hope one day he understands this.
I'm struggling with the new coach still. I'm trying to get along with her and I think I'm doing pretty good. But she always seems to do or say something that rubs me the wrong way. I just don't think she stops to think and be realistic sometimes. She was off the schedule for a few weeks and I thought I understood someone to say she was too busy but that wasn't the case as she showed back up on schedule. She's just too rushed and seems to have too much going on to coach. I was good at telling her I want to increase my intensity and she's learning I do speak my mind. What I won't ever do again is the ridiculous warm up she had us do by doing burpees in the middle of the road where traffic travels at the 100 meter mark. I didn't sign up for this to get run over. How does she expect someone to be able to move with an oncoming vehicle if we're in the middle of a burpee??? I didn't even do all of them that day. The grass is covered with gravel. Not to mention my knee still hasn't healed. I can only imagine what the people at the WH thought as they watched. I would've been saying those idiots are going to get run over. I'll be glad to go back in the gym and do the burpees or even take a mat outside the gym and do them behind our own vehicles where there is no oncoming traffic traveling but never again in the middle of the road where people are coming and going. We've done warm ups and even WOD's outside but they're always done where we park and no oncoming traffic is travelling and if someone drives up it is a CF member and they know to watch out. This has always worked out just fine. But these other idiots on the road don't know we're there and will come flying through. She knew it pissed me off and I told her. Her budget may call for being able to buy knee pads and such but this girlie lives on a budget and has to plan accordingly to her paychecks when she can go shopping for things which in turn means sometimes I have to wait several weeks if not months if I want something until I can save the money. Nothing is worth getting run over not even losing weight. I'll give this coach another try this week. Wish the main coach would post time limit WOD's on the night's she teaches since she's always in a hurry to leave. That would solve one problem since I'm so slow. That way she wouldn't have to wait on me to get done.
