Summer classes for grad school have kicked into full gear. I spent this past Memorial Day sitting at home on my couch reading about metabolism, proteins, and the effects of alcohol on the body.
What'd I learn? First off, don't try to take 9 credit hours when you're currently working 50+ hour workweeks. Second, don't drink. It's just not worth it. Just with one weekend of drinking a little more than you should, fatty deposits can build up in your liver. And nobody wants a fat liver. Also,there's been a lot of stuff put out there about how a glass of red wine a day can protect your heart from cardiovascular disease, but you can get the exact same effect from drinking grape juice.
With all of the effects that alcohol has on your liver, kidneys, arteries, metabolism, reasoning, and wallet, I honestly don't get why anyone would ever want to pick up a bottle.
In other news, I've been blessed to have picked up 2 new clients within the past week, which is awesome. Typically, I pick up around one new client per month, which would be a rather pathetic ratio if personal training were my full time job, but with working for the hospital during the day, I'm more than ok with it. I'm starting to wonder if I should start turning away new leads, or at least referring them to somebody else for a finder's fee.
So yep, that's where I'm at. Reading and writing my butt off for grad school, and trying to manage my crazy work schedule. I'm thankful that I enjoy what I'm doing. I love reading and writing about nutrition/fitness stuff, and I love personal training. 12 hour days? Well, not so much, but you gotta pay your dues, I suppose...
