This is going to be a short blog post. This week has been a challenge. I have been sick. Being a personal trainer means that I have to be very intimate with my clients. I adjust them and I work in very close proximity to them. With that comes the risk that I could pick up germs pretty easily. I am generally healthy and part the benefit of focusing on fitness is that my immune system is pretty healthy and luckily I don't get sick all that often.
When it comes to teaching my job is to not let students know that I am feeling Ill. So all week long I’ve gone to class and had a huge smile on my face when all I wanted to do is curl up into a ball and be by myself. My body needs rest and unfortunately I have a schedule that made proper recovery impossible. Being self employed means that I have no boss. It also means that when I take time off of work even if I am sick that I am not getting paid. To be responsible to my personal training clients I cancelled them so as to not pass on whatever bug I was battling. But I still went to the gym every day and taught as often as I was able. I put on a brave face and I focused on the job. All in all the classes went well and I even got a few compliments from students after class. I'll be back to my old self soon. But this post is going to have to end here. The sassy girl is for today the sickly girl.
