great things

An update of sorts for my loyal readers. All 300 of you...

I am coaching a U12 girls competitive soccer team. It's been an interesting experience. It definitely takes more time and energy than I imagined and it really cuts into my ever-expanding social life. But I have made bonds with some of the girls. I am so happy when I see improvement in them. There a few that really test my patience, but I am learning how to deal with that. All in all, I'd say I'm glad I took the role of coach. But for the record, playing is more fun.

Personal training - is also not what I expected it to be. It's a roller coaster ride...sometimes I hate it, sometimes I love it. I really like a few of my clients. One in particular, Casey, is awesome. She is 24 years old and heavy enough to be on The Biggest Loser. I know it's hard and embarrassing for her to get in the gym, but she does it anyway. I have trained her for a month now and she's lost 10 pounds and 6.5 inches. She was so excited today when I measured her. It was a priceless moment. It's a good feeling knowing that you're contributing to someone's happiness and health so much. That makes me want to stick to training, regardless of the crap it involves sometimes.

Editing - still working on the Nat. Geo project and it's wonderful. I got to work with the Executive Producer a while back for a few hours. He called me the Harry Potter of editing. Kind of weird...but what he meant was that I move my fingers so fast, to him I might as well be doing wizardry. I think that's what he meant at least. I'm also beginning to do promo videos for a kettlebell gym and I'm so excited about that. Why? Because I'm doing it on trade; which means I'll get to take kettlebell classes consistently. Which is something I've wanted to do for a while.

Boyfriend - let me just post this post secret instead of talk about it. I will say one thing, breaking up is extremely hard.
