Really really good week

Greetings!

After the last couple blogs of rants I figured I would let you all know about my amazing week. This past week was super super long, like each day felt like the next day long, BUT it was awesome. I don't remember the beginning of the week, but starting Thursday things were great. First my "grandparent" clients who I watch football with on the weekends and who feed me usually once a week, gave me a big tv that they didn't want. They gave me this huge tv (50 inch?, not a flat screen, but not heavy either) and he helped me move it out to my house. My roommate was home because of sickness so we moved around the furniture and cleaned up a bit so that we could fit it in the perfect spot. I love the new arrangement and feel like my spring cleaning is already done. haha and it's not even spring.

Secondly, we found out on Tuesday that New Balance was beginning their sponsorship/partnership with Steve Nash Sports Clubs and that a couple of the top trainers, sales staff and front desk girls got a free pair of shoes. So on Thursday I went to get fitted for a new pair of shoes and picked a new model that are actually you'll never guess . . . purple. Then since their was another model of shoe that I kind of liked and he wasn't carrying stock of anymore and it was in my size, he gave me another free pair. They are grey and baby blue. Not something I would probably spend money on, but nice to have 2 pairs.

Then, I get back to work and we got paid. Turns out that since our team hit our club goal for January that we got an extra 5% commission on sales, along with our regular 10%, as well as an extra $2/session serviced if over 120. I brought in over 10 grand in January so my commission was pretty substantial. And because of that I also won a bonus for being top 20 in the company and earned an extra 150. My commission check was bigger than my actual pay stub. Pays to be at the gym all day every day.

Lastly, I was getting frustrated because I hadn't lost any weight but then I weighed in at Langley again and turns out I lost 8 lbs in 4 weeks. Right on track. Although now is crunch time. It's 12 weeks until the show so no more cheat meals and very very strict in the food and workout sense. Probably start the zombie mentality again soon too. Sucky.

Friday was good too because I got my Nexus pass so in 2 weeks time I will be paying 40 cents less every gas tank cuz I'll head down there every week.

Saturday was our NASH HOUSE open house where I again brought in a whole bunch of money, got some new clients, did some fun demos, met a lot of people, and helped another trainer win a trip to Vegas which she is taking me on!

Today, Sunday, my friend and I headed to the downtown sports club to workout. It's so awesome. They have stools in the bathroom, a sauna, steam room, couches everywhere, 4 floors of workout equipment, tvs on each cardio, towel service, juice bar, tons and tons of awesome red coloured equipment, a huge personal training area, tons of windows, etc. I could go on and on. Safe to say that we had a good time and felt like rich members to an exclusive club. I might just be going down there a whole lot more than I have before. Then we went to the Fairmont hotel for a breakfast buffet. It was really good. Especially the vanilla waffles and these mini apple cinnamon muffins. Everything else was good too, but those stood out to me. Good cheat meal for the last day. Probs going to have some popcorn right away too as I mindlessly rest by watching the Oscars. God has been so good to me.

Later days!
