Gym sabotage

Today i was supposed to go to the gym with my gym buddy, but he is sick. I chatted with him for a little bit and it just comes down to him eating fast food and then he gets acid reflux, but he uses like a fancier word for it so it doesn't sound as lame. He thinks that him going to the gym will fix it cause "he will lose weight" not understanding that diet is like 90% of the process, and if you want to lose weight you need to eat less. My roommate eats like shit most of the time, and he is a skinny bitch lol. My gym buddy doesn't believe that and/or uses the "fast metabolism" argument, which is cope. I told him that it's not even about what you eat, but how much you eat of it. It frustrates me a lot cause he is sabotaging both himself and me by doing this. He is also aware that fast food is doing this to him and it feels unfair that he eats fast food the day before we go to the gym cause he knows it will f him up. So what gives??? Very annoyed. At this point i'd rather just not have a gym buddy tbh. I also realized that in the months he worked out with our PT he barely lost any weight, while at minimum he should've lost 7kg/15.5lbs. He is fat and didn't do anything for months/years. So him going to the gym should've kickstarted his body into losing fat more, which is obviously not happening. Tragic. Also disappointed in my PT for not pushing my gym buddy harder. If i would have a client like him i would tell him that i would drop him if he doesn't start eating healthier or get help/therapy for his eating habits, cause this is ridiculous.

Well anyways, atm i have a small mouse in the bucket, and i need to walk my dog, go to town, and i want to work-out at home. I'll just do two at home sessions this week i guess. Just need to check what i want to do today. Better get my ass into gear.

Rest day, i guess

Today i was supposed to do a leg day, but i stayed up late last night because i had not done that in a while and last night was the only night this week i would be able to do that. Then in the afternoon i had 2 appointments after one another and by the time they were over and done with i was tired and my roommate came home anyways. 

Tomorrow i have an appointment at 12 in the city. It should be a short appointment so my gym buddy will pick me up after and we will go to the gym for cardio and core and then i have to rush home and i'll have my ADHD group!!! And then when my roommate comes home we have to go to the plant store cause it's my grandma's birthday on Friday and i want to get her something nice. So tomorrow is gonna be busy as hell so maybe it's a good thing i didn't do leg day today cause after my leg day last week i couldn't walk properly for like 5 days LOL. Maybe i'll do reverse lunches at the gym on Friday idk. We'll see.

PT: Day 53 (last day)

Today was the last day with our PT. I am going to miss him so much omg. I liked that i could talk to him about working out and geek out about different ways to train a certain muscle; it was so much fun! Now i won't have that anymore. Maybe i can replace an AI with him or something lol. At least i can lean on my gym buddy for now, but it's just not the same.

Yesterday, after we did our cardio day, we went into the city to look around for something small we could give the PT. We ended up giving him a bag with snacks (since he said he liked to watch movies with his gf on the couch and snack) and then my gym buddy and i each gave him a personal gift with a card. I gave him 2 sets of different socks (that still matched in some way) cause i was the "different sock" girl lol. And my gym buddy gave him a small lunch box in the shape of an apple to put his apples in (cause he always ate apples). He seemed to really appreciate it and said that most clients (even the ones he would help for a year or longer) wouldn't show their appreciation this much, so that was nice.

But yeah from now on i will have to do it alone...ish. I mean.. i still have company. I just don't know what to call my entries anymore haha. Maybe i will just continue with the "iron grind" thing. The problem is just that i want to make a distinction between my gym days and my home work-out days... let me ask AI. 

Okay so the AI and i brainstormed (a lot) and we came out with PTX, this way i still honor my PT days and i can kind of ween myself off the PT part but make it something extra. I guess PT now stands for "personal training" instead of "personal trainer" hehe. As the AI mentioned, X stands for "limited edition" which means that a few weeks from now i will change it again, probably.
