the silent killer

Have you met the silent killer yet? Well, let me introduce him to you all if you haven't met him... His name is Eric & he's a personal trainer... OUCH! You will either LOVE him or HATE him. I'm kind of liking him right now though. I'm on my 4th training session with him & I'm feeling it. I guess that's a good thing {that's what he says}.

Eric isn't like most trainers. He's quiet, extremely polite, very gentle & way too nice! No joke at all! The first training session with him he asked me... How many reps could I do on squats.? I laughed {haven't felt my butt muscle since birth} & said seriously, 12! He was so kind & said, Oh well I was thinking more like 50, but we can start with 12. OK I think I love you Eric! LOL All the trainers I have met & worked out with in the past make me hurt so bad right off the get go. I can barely get to my car & can't walk for about a week after working out. Hmmm a little excessive I think in my book.

I feel a trainer is definitely like a business... Why kill your business on the 1st session. You need to make friends, get your client to love you & then get them hooked & BAMMM you look fabulous!

If you would like to train with the silent killer {i just call him that}... Call him for hours & rates. He's looking to add a few more clients to his list! His number is {805} 816-3313

Tell him Alex recommended that you call... Off for another training session {it's really Monday morning & I'm posting this}. I'm sooooo determined right now! Now even more since I decided that I'm really done having babies. The Scully clan is complete at 4!

{1} start day

Well, Today's the day I start my training... You ask for what? Yes, the Coney island hot dog eating contest, Yummy! Just kidding! I'm really serious about this losing weight, looking & feeling great thing. I'm in my 30's & I feel like life is passing me by because of my workload, involvement with the kids & insecurities {weight}... So I'm doing this for ME! ME ME ME I need to training for a 1/2 marathon & eat right. I think I told you all that I ran the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll marathon a long time ago... But, I didn't train correctly. I completed the marathon, but not on top of my game. When I hit 20 mile mark... WOW did I hit the wall. I used to run in college & then after, but after the rock 'n' roll marathon it turned me off from running. I hated it... Now I'm back. I feel my fat just jiggle away {sorry Oprah moment}. So this time I want to do it right, the correct way. I'm kind of excited about it... 2 babies, a husband & an awesome business later I'm going to do it!

I'm going to start training with my cousin/running partner Polly. We have always leaned on each other to work out & run. She ran the marathon with me & kicked butt. She did soooooo well! Go Polly... Go Go Go {Polly has a husband & 4 babies}! She found us a boot camp for our off days of running. It's in Encinitas. I think it will be great! I know I'm all talk now, but I really want to prove/show you all I can do it!!!

I still have to pick the 1/2 marathon to run. Hmmmm I've looked at a few. Here's what I've come up with:

1.) Hyannis, Cape Cod - 1/2 Marathon

2.) Santa Barbara - 1/2 Marathon

3.) Maui - 1/2 Marathon

4.) Kona - 1/2 Marathon

That's where I've stopped looking right now... But, I'm not done yet. Do you have any recommendations of 1/2 marathons. I really don't want anything hilly. I think the Santa Barbara one will be because of the Santa Ynez mountains. I have to do more research... Maybe on a secrete romantic getaway with the hubby to the Bacara. Wouldn't that be nice! All for the research...

Now, you all know my little burning desire...

Hey, maybe the rooster should start a running club & we meet in front of the rooster to all train together. OH MY GOSH.... That sounds fun! Should we? Would any of you do it? If we get more than 10 people maybe we should. Make a "comment" if you would like to & that will determine if we should....

Have a happy day today!
