3 DAYS...

Three days left, and this will be my last posting for a bit since we have to return both our cable box and router to Time Warner tomorrow afternoon. Maybe I'll be motivated enough to try to write a post from my phone, but I'm not promising anything. Today was a big day for both me and Adrian. We officially said good-bye to people who truly changed our lives - our trainers/instructors. I had my last workout with Charlotte this morning. I wasn't sure if it was going to be our last one - I had hoped to fit one more in, but our schedules just wouldn't allow it, so I bid farewell - yes, I shed some tears. I know I'll see her again on our visits back, but it's going to be so weird not to see her three times a week. She was more than a trainer to me; she was almost like a therapist, as well as a friend. I plan to make her proud and get this baby weight off by myself this time around, with the help of our home gym, but it won't be as fun or as easy without her. As for Adrian, he had his belt test today - and he did it! He is now officially a blue belt, and I'm so proud of him. Even with all the teasing I do about how obsessed he is with jiu-jitsu - from the expensive books he buys off of Amazon to the YouTube videos he watches relentlessly to the many seminars and classes he goes to - I can't help but be proud of him for being so devoted to something he loves (as long as it never replaces me, of course). He really liked his instructor and I know they really liked him (they moved his belt test specifically so he could get his blue belt with them before moving!), so even though he's tried many different places in the Bay Area, and found one he liked, I know it isn't as good as the one here in NYC. So I left in tears, and Adrian left with a pretty blue belt; not bad for a day's work...
