Something incredible.....

Something incredible happened to me today.

Background: I've been stressing out a bit because I'd decided to cancel my membership with LifeTime given all of the issues I had with the Savage location.  The member engagement manager told me I had to send a certified letter or come in to the club to cancel (which I hadn't done yet).  I wasn't sure how or what to do on my own and you'd think by this time I would know what in the world I'm doing, but I felt so lost.  I was literally in the bathroom at work and prayed.  I asked God to give me a sign and show me the way I needed to go.  I'd rescheduled my HealthCheck appointment (through Allina/Healthpartners/LifeTime) so that I could just do it early one morning before I started work instead of having to go to the Savage club.

Fast Forward to last night: I was talking to Chad about how I didn't want to get all sweaty before work and I wasn't 100% sure what the HealthCheck entailed so I was going to reschedule it to a Friday or something so it was at least a casual day.

Fast Forward (again) to this morning: When I woke up (late) I didn't see any other option besides to get my ass my gear and get to my HealthCheck and I did.  I skipped my shower, got the kids dressed quickly, threw random things in my lunch bag for lunch and we were out the door 10 minutes earlier than normal.  I made it to work by 7:15am and my appointment was at 7:30am.  I walked in and this adorable dark curly haired gal motioned for me to come in and handed me a questionnaire.  My blood pressure was high from running around like a chicken with head cut off all morning, so she had me relax and just casually chat for a few minutes and she asked if I belonged to a gym.  I told her TECHNICALLY I was with LifeTime in Savage, but not at all happy with it and she said "I work at the Savage club!"  She listened to my concerns and told me a little about her training style and told me she organizes the run club at the club as well as BOOTCAMP and a Weight Loss group.  She said she didn't think she had a card, but would check anyway, well guess what....ONE card....she wrote her cell phone number on the card and told me if I changed my mind to give her a call and she would make sure I was taken care of.

I took this as my sign....
A. I hadn't cancelled my membership yet (I was supposed to do it a week ago)
B. I planned to reschedule my HealthCheck, but for some reason felt compelled to go this morning
C. I ended up with a trainer that reminded my of my Tina
D. She just HAPPENS to work at the club I had trouble with
E. I'd gained another 10 lbs....

These are all very clear signs to me that I need to hang on to LifeTime and give them another chance.  I think Kathy (my cute little curly haired trainer) walked in to my life at just the right moment.  We have an appointment scheduled for Friday evening at 7:30pm.  I can't wait!
