Before I venture out into my new city...(grocery shopping & maybe some new running shoes) I wanted to share how my week went if you wanna know whatsup!
So I worked my little butt off this week, figuratively and literally. I have been coming up with ideas left and right, some good, some bad, some that needs guidance and tweaking! I had a National conference call with all the interns for Verizon Wireless Health & Wellness Centers throughout the US and we introduced ourselves and exchanged project ideas! Two of the ones we're working on at my gym were acknowledged and asked to be forwarded to all the coaches nationally to use in the future for their centers! I've also been calling several places to come raise awareness at our Shamrock Run (5K) in March! The Verizon employees will get to walk around the call center 10x and I'm in charge of bringing some organizations and businesses out to provide info! So far I've reached out to American Diabetes Association, American Red Cross, Hillsborough County Health Department, FitLife Foods, SmoothieKing, First Watch...etc! Lots of places seem interested :) I also said we should have our chair massage guy come and give massages during/after the run/walk!
In between that, I get to train members, do fitness assessments and attend classes! My abs were shot to hell by the end of this week! Lol I had to cheat yesterday and get a Banana Fosters Shake at this place called Burger 21. I had a turkey burger so no worries ;)
I gave a member some nutrition/meal planning advice the other day. He was so amazed by how simple I made it sound. I think I will be doing that as my lunch and learn as well as distributing a "grocery list" for others to follow. Think about it, if you eat fast food 3x a day at $8-$10 a meal that's $24-$30 a day and multiply that by 7 days a week you just spend around $210 for processed, greasy, fattening food. If you go to like Sam's get a 6lb bag of frozen chicken for $11, a bag of frozen veggies for $8, and some brown rice/sweet potatoes/whole wheat pasta/quinoa you just spent like $30-$40 and made meals for the entire week...what people spend in ONE day on FA
I'm on Day 17 of my challenge and down 2% body fat which puts me at 17%...average for my weight and height is 18%-20%! If I want to get to show status I have to be around 10-12%!
I've been stressing out about not having friends here. I've probably cried like twice this week. It just sucks when you know you are good at making friends but have no where to make them (and it's only my 3rd week here so give it some time), that you have amazing friends that are so far away and that you're at a crossroads with your life because this is what you want but at the same time it's tough.
If I could give anyone advice I'd say being 21 working for corporate is HARD. My coworkers are married and have kids and I feel out of place. I just want to be younger again. Like what do I do with myself now? I have no "soul searching" or "finding myself" to do...I already know who I am, what I like...etc
But other than that, I'm gonna say ciao and head out!
Ciao xoxo,
Cheyenne
