Journal: Entry #1: It's been two and a half weeks since I began training and observing John, as well as sticking with my diet. The Central YMCA has been fun, the hours are kind of rough, some mornings we have to get up from 6:30-7:30 AM and observe John train, but its rewarding. John trains anyone from ages 30-60 that we have seen so far, and sometimes husband and wife train together. On days where John controls the floor from 9:00-2:00, we get a lot of time to work out. I usually lift with Jermaine for an hour and then run for an hour, but it's funny because we do abs workouts and people who are there are too afraid to try them. Like the remix, which is a group of exercises, scares most of the people working out there, and it's funny to heckle them because they're afraid to do the routines. As far as the diet comes, it consists of More salads, fruits for snacks, and six small meals a day instead of larger meals. For dinner I try to have steak, or some sort of meat that will give me protein, I don't eat white bread or absorb carbs, I try to stay away from over eating. It's been an adventure. More journals to come. Journal: I've now been doing my exploration for a couple weeks. Things are paying off. Ive dropped ten pounds in weight because of my diet, and im starting to lift again and that weight is coming back in the form of muscle weight. It's really rewarding to workout with your friends, Jermaine and Jess, because at times the work gets hard.. it deffinatly does, and that extra push is nice. Also, John is a great motivator, he knows what he is talking about and seeing him teach his appointments and seeing these people pushing themselves, it makes you want to strive to do well. There's an 80 year old man who works out everyday and is in the YMCA running the treadmill and doing the eliptical. The environment is just a place you want to be around. I've seen a huge amount of friends people there.. everyone from students like Emma Pohl and former students like Reds, to tutors and parents of children attending friends now like Mr. Fallon and Mr. Carney. have nothing but good feed back and look forward to writing soon again.
