Yesterday I sat down and cracked open my brand new text book "Essentials of Personal Training." As I turned the first page I was hit with a big reality slap to the face. Actin,myosin,sarcoplasmic recticulum, ATP, lions and tigers and bears oh my! Oh boy I thought, this is going to be a challenege. I learned all that physiology in nursing school but do I remember much of what I learned? Uh...that's a big fat NO! I have to learn to be a student again- big reality check. At least the next chapter is all cardiovascular and respiratory- I can handle that better than muscle and nerve physiology. So I am actually on vacation this week. And here I am studying, cleaning the house, working out- basically doing what I do on my days off. I am glad I took the vacation time though, b/c even though I don't have any big plans, I get a mental break. Ty and I are going to Pinehurst tonight for the weekend which has become a Valentine's tradition for us. Although we are forgoing part of the tradition which is to go to the Pinehurst Spa. We don't need to drop a few hundred bucks to enjoy each other's company. We are looking for ward to going to Ashton's which is the ONLY place I have found that makes a FABULOUS burger. You can order it rare and they have some really yummy toppings and the buns are wonderful. Yum :)
