I am thinking ahead to when this boot camp is done. As much as I would love to keep hanging out at o.zone for the time being, 75 bucks a month is over my price range. 50 bucks is my max.
So I've been looking around on groupon to find another place to work out. I have found crossfit but everything has a downside. It would take 15 minutes just to drive to crossfit. I'd be out of my comfort zone. I'm a tad worried women will beat me up. And I can not afford crossfit after the initial month.
I like working out at o.zone, even with all the emphasis on loosing weight while not giving clients any diet helps. I am finally liking the new trainer as well as a few of the women I regularly work out with.
I don't know.
I know o.zone is worth 75 bucks. But being worth x amount of dollars and having x amount of dollars to spend are two different things.
Which brings us to asking Bryan if its okay to spend money on working out. Part of me says spend the money and make the budget work. The other part of me knows that the budget isn't going to work this month. period. Perhaps I need to accept I can't make work out money a regular deduction from the budget.
For my sanity I need workouts. So I find myself wondering if I could do it from home again. And I cringe. I so look forward to working out because I get to chat and sweat with other woman. Human connection!
All over the map. And no closer to deciding what I want. Need.
Exercise is a Need.

Calories
So we are in week 5 or 6 of bootcamp, depending on when you signed up. And women are getting mad. At the end of this six weeks they were supposed to be further along than where they are. Michelle asked Shayne if why she wasn't having the change she wanted related to her diet that she hadn't changed at all. Shayne explained the scale was not the measurement she should worry about. She had lost inches off of her waist and was building muscle, great progress. After he left she turned to her friend and was pissed. Because she didn't believe him. She wanted to know how to fix her diet and calories/weight. She has been very open about her quest to loose weight.
So fixated she has ignored all the other progress. Inches lost on waist. Lower body fat.
Shayne did not take the time to really show her her progress. But what else, I wish that o.zone didn't fixate so much on telling clients to set up appointments with the nutritionist if they want answers about diet. Yes, I understand that o.zone has made it a work out only place. But how hard would it have been to that is it,
He needs to acknowledge Michelle's worry about her diet. More so. He didn't adequately answer her frustration.
I don't know what I would do as a trainer. But then, the other trainer was training so Shayne had the time. He didn't have the concern to answer her frustration. And then she talked about it with buddy. And it wasn't positive dialogue.
Why do I keep wondering what an awesome trainer would do?
I was really going to wonder why everyone is so fixated on calories and not other progress.
Maybe I would like to be a trainer when Henry goes to school. But I watched Collette struggle to find work and she had experience, training, and connections. So I think that field is already flooded.
Also, day 1 of week five starts tomorrow for me. For some reason, this week has been exhausting for me. I am tired. Dog tired. Taking naps again.
Playing with the big toys tires me out.

Taking Control
So how do you make movement you hate and enjoy it more? Give it your own name. We do a move called frog squats.
I hate frog squats. Almost more than supermans.
So I told the trainer today to just rename them twerk squats.
Everyone laughed because they got the joke.
I like the move more now.

A Little Competition
A little competition never hurt anyone? Right.
I don't know. There is a chick at O.Zone who perplexes me. The first time I met her she seemed really confident and cool. Then she made fun of other people's form. Not cool.
Today she was back. One lady was asking the trainer about some diet that her friend did and lost 17 lbs. Awesome trainer said those pounds were all muscle. Good trainer. Not cool chick asked me if I counted calories. But the way she asked felt competitive. As if it was a challenge. I told her I did not count calories. She asked what I did do. I laughed and said well, I do this thing called intuitive eating where I eat when I am hungry and stop when I am full. She didn't like that answer and made fun of it a bit. "Yeah, it's amazing what will happen when you stop eating when you are full, isn't it." Sarcastic tone. Part of me thinks she wants to have an actual conversation and part of me feels like she is looking for ways to make fun of me.
It didn't help later when the trainer told her to put more weights on the bar she was going to use. She asked why and I piped up "cause you're super strong!" Her retort "yeah, well your face is too strong." I really don't get this chick.
But I am going to avoid talking around her. I like our 8:30 class when our regular 4 women show up who are super supportive and work out hard.
