Research mainly, but I also have class and teach a class. I have to be available for meeting with my students (office hours without the office because my office is being used for storage right now).
Did 50 minutes on the elliptical and then lifted upper body. Had a few clients this morning and I'm headed back to work shortly.
Just need to vent a little... It's been a horrible day. DH and I had a fight before I went to work and that never sets a good tone to the day. Then, my boss forgot about a meeting that we had and that really annoyed me. We had to schedule this meeting because she arrived 20 minutes late to our last meeting and we had practically no time to discuss things. I realize it's probably anal retentive but I get easily annoyed when people are late or don't show up for meetings. I try to respect others' time and hope they do the same in return. Then, I did measurements with one of my clients and saw that she's made really great progress. I'm really proud of her and excited for her, but at the same time I'm envious of the progress she's made. (I know you all think I'm fine but I'm still really unhappy with myself and I'm tired of being a size 12/14.) And then, I spoke with a member who's wanting a trainer and I called her to tell her that I found a trainer that can train when she wants to train. The member asked me if she was heavy and I replied that she wasn't. The member said that she had noticed a "heavy" trainer on the floor a few nights ago and wanted to make sure she wasn't put with a "heavy" person because she couldn't possibly be pushed by someone who doesn't practice what she preaches. I realized immediately that she was talking about me (but obviously didn't realize who I was) and with all the civility I could muster, I reminded her that health comes in all shapes and sizes and just because a person is heavy or heavier doesn't mean that they don't exercise, etc. *sigh* She replied that she knew that because she works in the medical field but immediately returned to her train of thought about needing someone who looks like a trainer.
I sort of fell apart when I got home just from the morning and would so much rather crawl into bed than go back to work. I have clients and I'm interviewing a trainer. If it was just one appointment, I'd probably cancel, but this is 4 hours worth of stuff. So, I'm doing my best to hold my head high and get back there and do the best job I can. I just want it noted on the record that I would prefer to go back to bed and stay there.
preference for staying in bed duly noted. i'm sorry you are having such a bad day, but it's good that you are so professional and manage to handle it all so professionally.

Thanks for listening.

don't let that person get to you. i'm sure it's
What a day!
Yes they were Morningstar! I'm not sure if I'd eat them without jazzin' them up, but it's a great substitute for ground beef.

I'll have to give it a try--it looks much easier to use than beef!
