Is She Worthy?

I find myself questioning my trainer.

This probably isn't a good thing.

She thinks I'm over training. Just because I'm training for the Goofy Challenge doesn't make her statement true. I do a lot less now than I was doing back in April-June.

She sat me down a few weeks ago and went through a day worth of eating I had done. Mind you she picked one day, not the whole 3 weeks I so carefully entered into the online program she has the class using. After that meeting I stopped logging my food. What a pain that is. Anyway, she says I'm not getting enough protein. Really? I had 43g of protein that day. 43 GRAMS! Usually it's a bit more. She does have a degree in nutrition and exercise so you would think she knows what she's talking about. I need more fiber, more protein, less junk, eat a ton more healthy food during the afternoon. She means like 2-3 lunch's. Eat eat eat was basically the gist of it. I do eat eat eat, just not always healthy. Hence the extra 10 pounds I'm carrying since IM training stopped.

I took a questionnaire that she gave to me to do that covers just about everything in your life. My "area of concern" as they so nicely put it was.

1. Stress/sleep
2. Glucose imbalance
3. Nutrient Deficiencies

I think I agree with those. Now pinpointing which exactly I am missing or what exactly my body needs gets a little tricky. There is a special swab and blood test that will tell me without a doubt everything you could want to know about my body. About 30 pages worth. Way more than a normal blood test that you would get with a physical. I'll find out exactly how healthy or not healthy I am. Kinda scary really.

My trainer is encouraging me to get the test done. Might as well as my insurance will cover it. If she can figure out how to get me to sleep well, I would be forever grateful and recommend that she get a raise. If she can figure out why I choose to eat junk every afternoon and better yet how to get me to stop, besides saying just stop. Kudos to her. If she can figure out how to give me more energy to get through the day and to not be so pessimistic than she is my hero.

Right now I question her. I'm watching her. She talks a good talk. But is it all talk? Can she really get my body working like a fine tuned machine. If she can, then I see a full Ironman by the year 2013.
