Something awesome about one of my instructors is how welcome Blaine makes me feel at all times, he’s texted me checking in on my track season and we’ve caught up at the gym while I’m not working out there. With Blaine we’re more than just trainer and trainee, we’re both focused on what my end goal as an athlete is while cultivating and growing our relationship along the way. It’s really quite amazing.

2) Did you meet your March goals?:
Weight: My goal for March was to get the vacation pounds off and lose a few more,  as well as gain a pound of muscle.
I will see myself in the 190’s this month! I am focused and determined to get there!

Yes and no. Yes the extra vacation pounds are gone, yippee! My body comp results from last Thursday
Down a pound of fat but, ugh! also down 1pound muscle. It was decided this just may be part of my journey, up and down with the muscle for awhile. I feel great and my body shape is changing, clothing sizes are going down.

3) What are your goals for April?
Weight: 195 which will include an increase in muscle. 

Exercise: We are gone the last two weeks of the month so my goal during that time is a daily walk on the beach.

Nutrition: I will continue to work on getting my protein increases to help me build more muscle and my vacation goal is to try to not gain any weight. 

4) Who is your favorite trainer and what is something awesome about them?
Coach Jenny is the sweetest! She is always encouraging. She often believes in me more than I do. She has a heart for the work she does and she loves people. Here was something I read today that exemplifies what the coaches at Actualize do for me Any true adventurer will tell you that any adventure is always richer with a guide, someone who has gone before you and knows how to make every trip even more exciting and rewarding.”
