Tula Bright - Week ten

Oh wow…Week 10, and the countdown is so on…

I first want to say to Nate - you go Boy! & Michelle - You go girl!  Your weekly journals inspired and encouraged me…

Steven Balance is the man… Seriously, Steven is the trainer (Steele Creek location) that agreed to train me for 12 weeks during the LYX competition.  I have nothing but love for him.  I almost let his boyish good looks fool me.   I surrendered total control to him when I stepped on that scale for the initial weigh and heard my weight echo ((())) across the room, and I was ashamed.

Our first 1:1 meeting was awkward not knowing what to expect from him and wondering if I was really up for this type of challenge.  Steven laid down the foundation to rebuilding a new me.  Basically I was told in layman's terms, "I’m not here to play games, you respect my time and I’ll respect yours." (Those aren’t the exact words, but that’s what I heard).  He was being tough, but not boot camp style tough. He was being very assertive, and I respected that.  We established one thing from the beginning - I was going to be a good client, and he was going to work the hell out of me during every training session.

Steven and I developed a good trainer/client relationship. We had a good rapport .  We shared stories with each other, then we'd go right back to the fitness business.  While I’m sweating like a poked pig trying to gut out 10 more reps of backward lunges (which I HATE) and my muscles are feeling like they might just fall out of my body, I know in a few minutes we'll be laughing at my expense none the less.   There were many sessions I wanted to cry  out  "he's killing me," because the burn was just too much.

I loved my introduction to the floor (weight area), and I’m so glad I had someone like Steven to show me the way… KUDOS to you Steve... I know a good person when I meet one and you are one… Thanks for helping me to get my sexy back…
