If only we could do ourselves out of a job....

Since I am still experiencing a lot of sleepless nights...it was a 1.30am start to my day today... I have a lot of time to ponder.... could actually do without this pondering time, but hey, since I have it I might as well use it....

Of course some of the time is spent cursing my insomniac ancestors... I can still hear my grandmother telling me that she does her best letter writing at 2am, and my Dad is ecstatic if he gets an hours sleep at night... gee thanx folks... love you lots but you could have kept those genes to yourselves...

Anyway... one of my wandering thoughts this morning was that as a personal trainer my ultimate goal should be to not have any clients.... see this is what a wandering mind can do at 2amish... do laps, circles, star jumps and back flips until it discovers an anomaly in your life...

The way I see it is that if every client of every personal trainer (well the ones that really care and know what they are doing, that is) did exactly what their trainer told them to do, followed the program, ate the nutrition, believed in themselves as much as we do, reached their potential and found their goal.... well that client would not need us anymore... they would be self generating healthy, happy and fit individuals who could go on to reach any goal they aspired to... and then.... no more PT sessions... next client please.... then eventually... no more clients... because the original clients would have learnt enough to teach their children the amazing benefits of a healthy lifestyle....

See... told you... If only we could do ourselves out of a job.... imagine how healthy and wonderful the world could be....

Meanwhile at the end of that particular pondering session.... it is still only 3amish and off my brain goes again to the next lot of thoughts....

I loved see the IFBB QLD Titles.... the competitors were in fabulous condition... and of course there was Kai Greene....

Kai was not only amazing to see... his posing routine was unbelievable... but this thoughts on bodybuilding and his journey to where he is now was mesmerising to listen to. He is a fabulous ambassador for the sport... and extremely easy to look at for hours.....

After seeing all the comps this season I am now pretty sure... well almost positive... maybe... sort of... yeah ohhh okay... looks like I will consider doing more comps again May 2012... I had decided I was too old then along came these damn women older than me looking amazing and loving the life and I realised I still had time to enjoy my passion for a little longer... damn those women!!! How dare they compete at 52 and 53... damn them... hehehehe

So I continue to stay on my cutting diet... I continue to train and do cardio... which I am once again almost enjoying... weird... shudder... cardio... ick... Yesterday I played in the Tabata class.... which may sound like some sort of exotic yoga but in reality is the most excruciating half hour of your life... and then the instructor (Brutal Brooke.... yes it is an apt name) and I did a round of the 300 workout just to make sure we were totally smashed... and because we are both vaguely insane...

But now its back to the vacuuming.... woohoo housework how lucky am I!!!! Yes that was sarcasm... I am not that insane!
