I did celebrate last night with 2 margaritas, fish tacos and a live mariachi band!
And we are going to a concert tonight in Atlanta (Mablehouse Ampitheater) on the lawn for a bluegrass type band, Old Crow Medicine Show. I believe its BYOB too, for beer and wine, if any of you ATL gals know, would you let me?!
I'm looking foward to a really nice weekend in store and I think I'm going to be making some online shopping orders as well.

I posted a few days ago about my quest for a personal trainer (PT). I had a few options, so I checked them out. Like I said, I just really want to meet someone a few times a week, so they can push me to a better toning workout & give me advice/info & make sure I'm doing the right kind of cardio.
First place I went was the only 'chain' gym in town, a famous one (cough cough Gold's Gym). I did like their set-up, I really liked the women's only gym part and the fact that they were moving less than a mile from my apartment. But, you ever get that feeling you are getting hustled?! Yes, I just wanted to say let it chill buddy and at least let me check out the bathrooms before I sign something. Then, I came back to meet with the actual PT (because when I came for my first appointment, he was in the middle of cardio "running on the treadmill" and couldn't stop to say hello). Let's just say the meeting was not about my goals or what I was looking for in a PT but how HE could fit ME into his schedule, which is "already kinda booked sooo...I dunno..."
Then, I found this place in the city 45 minutes away, (next to the Whole Foods we go to), which was not a gym but just a small space enough equipment for 3 PT's and 3 clients at one time. And it was nicceeeee. Like celebrity goes here to get their bods into shape nice. I felt very out of place, just because I'm really not used to someone handing me a water bottle before the workout & defintely not used to someone handing me the weights so "clients won't scratch up the walls with them" (what am I crazy, would I be throwing 6 lb weights?!). And it was way way too expensive plus the cost of a 45 min. drive each way/3 times a week. And I just got the feeling that it was all about that appearance and $, ya know.
So, I've contacted a local lady, who works out of a brand new gym built about 5 minutes from me. Its smaller but nice and new. I can meet the lady 2 or 3 times a week for 3 months and sounds like she keeps you pushed & says that her clients get results. And the money is right. I'm going to meet with her sometime this weekend, so hopefully I can get this party started!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
