Still thinking about what really happen and why and my feelings and what I will do

So my last post, I stated my trainer resign from the gym. That means resign from continued training for us. I know it was a matter of time she will leave the gym and pursue her flight attendant job but she assure us that she won't leave right away.  So since her training and graduation which was later July, sporactically,  we had 1 day in July, and one day in August. She told us she got some days off, so she will be able to train with her. She said 4 days one week, and 4 days next. We were so looking forward to seeing her Sunday 9/4/16 but that never happen. So we just thought she was tired and will get with us either Mon, Tues or Wed.

Well, on Wed, 9/7/16, she said she is resigning from the gym because she has no time to do this anymore and that was the last I heard from her.  It really threw me by surprise, no warning. I, now, have to scourge around for another trainer, so I can use up the sessions I purchased.

I am very happy for her that she found her dream job and I wish her luck but I am bothered by the fact, she did not even say good-bye or to say keep in touch. I just don't know what is going on. I guess it frustrates me since I've been training with her since 2013. I grew attached to her. 

I need to move on. Nothing is forever. I need to look in front of me and I realize there are a lot of activities that I can continue doing which is equally great. I have my kettlebells class which I think will help with my muscle imbalance and glute activation. I have my yoga classes which I love. I have my swim class I go to once a week and I have my second family, Arrichion.

I was so focused about the training that I lost my way. But when I went to Sparta this past Sunday, I realize, here is a group of people who care about one another and encourage one another. I once again feel better.

So these are the things I will focus on now and forever. Whatever the reasons why Jackie did not tell us or have not contacted us, I wish her luck!

Some things in life don't last forever. What I once thought was so important, maybe what is is right in front of me. I know now!

So as many of you know, I have been with my trainer, Jackie since the beginning of 2013. I have learn many things in regards to eating right, and exercising. I also learn to be strong emotionally. If you read my previous post , a testimonial about her which I sent to her boss at Fitness Connection., you can sense how important she is to me.

Jackie has decided to go to flight attendant training and is now a flight attendant. I am happy for her and wish her well however, the training for me will end. Just from the times she is in town, she is not able to come to the gym to train. So, yes, it is sad, but I know good things don't last forever and I need to move on. I am bummed out but it is what it is.

So now what? I am going to continue with my training with other trainers until I used up my sessions and then decide what I should do next. 

Fortunately, I still have my Arrichion family. Things were a little hectic for a while but now it is time to head back and get my ass kicked.

I also signed up for Kettlebell classes at Raleigh Kettlebell company. Good thing it is in the same place where Crossfit Goliath is - another great place. I had to resign from doing crossfit since I hurt my back again and plus having major muscle imbalances and glutes activation issues. So it seems kettlebells is a good alternative.

So a little of weight training, some hot yoga, some kettlebells and oh yes, swimming. I'm all set.
I just have to realize what I thought was important is right there. 

So no cooking recipes, been busy, but will eventually.

At times when I write things down, besides talking to my buddy, I feel a lot better. For those reading my blog, thank you!

Have a wonderful day!
