I have recently worked with 2 new clients, both very nice people, wanting to start a fitness program that includes weight loss. Both of these people know my husband, Michael, because they 'hang out' at the Bird Cage, which is right next door to my husbands restaurant Larry and Hys Bare Bones BBQ. The Bird Cage is a bar. I had lunch at our BBQ on Saturday and asked Michael if he had seen either of these 2 clients at the bar recently. Well, one of them was there at that moment! I did not persue confronting this person mostly because it was my day off and I need to step out of my daily role of Personal Trainer occasionally. But, I should have because I felt so much frustration inside. Here is this person, coming to me because they need help with improving their health. But, they are not willing to help themselves. This goes right back to a previous blog. I can spend one hour a day coaching and talking and offering diet modifications and alternatives, but the other 23 hours in the day they are on their own. I can't wait for the inevitable question from this client, "When can I expect to see results?" or "I've been at this for 4 weeks and haven't lost a lb, why not?" I will then unleash my frustration pent up from Saturday and make sure they know, without a doubt, why. You will NOT lose any weight if you are 'drinking' your lunch. You need to fuel your body properly if you want results. If you do not want results, no problem, keep doing what you're doing. My next blog will have a more positive tone to it....
