Okay, so... really... I love my job, even if I know that I won't actually be making any real money for a couple of months. My first paycheque probably won't even cover what I pay for parking. Money is great and all, but this is really about.. doing what you love with your life, right? Today, I talked with a woman who probably won't become a client by any means, but she was doing a silks routine (circus performance kinda stuff) with a silk draped over the pull-up bar. I talked with her a good long while and tried to play along with the silk.. Uuhhh.. hard as shit. Harder than gymnastics rings. I did, however, teach her a back lever (single tucked leg). She was also impressed with muscle-ups on a bar, which I think she could do if she was fresh (she got on the bar and knocked out twelve pull-ups without a problem). It's meeting with people like this.. with passion for real strength skills and just awesome stuff.. that makes it all worthwhile.

My own workout was okay. It could've gone a whole lot better, but my diet the past few days has been off and the energy isn't all there. I need to figure out how I'm supposed to eat properly with these hours. Maybe I'll wake up earlier than I have to (I need to be up by 4:30AM) and boil a chicken breast and some broccoli for lunch tomorrow. I also ran the sales manager through a workout so he can see how I go about things. He seemed pretty happy about it all.
