Diary of the Trainer's Girlfriend

Any serious gym goer knows that there are certain unspoken rules and etiquette to follow while working out at a gym.   In my many years of experience I have witnessed numerous acts of stupidity along with plain old selfishness.   After a recent visit to the gym I was inspired to share a few of my pet peeves.   I have listed a few below (not all of them, no one needs to know what a crazy lunatic I am) for your reading pleasure.   Pet Peeve #18 So the other night while I was at the gym working out I had to stop myself from marching up to this idiot and give him the “WHAT FOR,” as my friends like to say. This D-bag that felt is necessary to rack the leg press machine with 12 45lb weights, do one set with not even pressing half-way, and then walk away “forgetting” to un-rack the weights.   Like I don’t want to get my work out by cleaning up after you buddy!   I refrained from bitching this guy out (mainly because Daman wasn’t there to back me up), but ...

Recently after feeling run down, tired and frustrated with my lack of results with losing weight, I decided to try out a juice fast after watching the movie "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead".  I knew it would not be easy but I was determined to make a change.  Here is a journal of my 8 day adventure.  Day 1 – I am feeling great! I am pumped like, “Yeah! I am going to do this”!  Made it through the day without any temptations distracting me.  It was cucumber, celery, kale and green apple juice for me today! Day 2 – Still feeling good, a little tired and hungry but nothing like a hangover.  Started off with an apple, carrot, lemon and ginger juice this morning.  Sipped on my green juice all afternoon.  This isn’t so bad. Day 3 –  I miss chewing food!!  Ugh.  But day 3 of any diet is always the hardest right? Daman is super sweet and supportive. Day 4 – I made it past day 3, it should be smooth sailing from...

Do you ever get the feeling like you’re being judged when you’re eating something you’re not supposed to?  Try living with a trainer.  With 9% body fat.  Who is also your boyfriend.  Oh, and I'm addicted, like seriously addicted to decadent desserts.  Some people black out after they have a couple of drinks...yeah, me, I black out after a couple of cupcakes.  And then I eat like 10 more.  (ps. I black out after a couple of drinks too). FML. So here's the deal.  I have the most wonderful boyfriend ever.  Super supportive, loves me just the way I am.  Even loves that I'm ALWAYS trying to lose that last 15 pounds.  You know the ones I'm talking about right?  And I would lose them too. Especially if I followed his super supportive, "I only have 9% body fat and I do this for a living" advice.  I'm not bitter.  Please.  The man literally plans his workouts based on his food consumption.  O...
