Chapter 6 I slept in until a little past seven on Sunday morning. When I finally dragged myself out of bed, I woofed down a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee, then joined my mom in our garage to help her with her volunteer work. My mom belonged to the Red Hat Society, a group of middle age and senior women who performed community service projects throughout the community. She had been a member for almost as long as I could remember. During the years when she

Chapter 5 All Saturday, I had pre-date jitters. I wasn’t even sure if this was considered a date. I supposed if we had a great time and our night ended with a kiss, I would call it a date. But in case it ended in failure, I could just think of it as dinner with a friend. Easy way to protect my ego. Of course, I was hoping at the end of the night, I would be able to call it a date. That way I could officially enter the adult world of dating. Everyone tells me going on a fir

Chapter 4 The rest of the week played in slow-motion for me. I didn't want to admit it, but I couldn't wait to see Brian on Friday for our next training session. It was completely out of character for me to be so giddy over a guy, and I felt silly. Here I was anxious to see Brian, again, as though he was my long lost Romeo. But he was nothing more than a client. Worse yet, he wasn't even my client. Ana and I had lunch together on Thursday. Our conversation w

Chapter 3 On Tuesday afternoon, I had a training session with my favorite client, Trevor. Trevor was my first client and had stuck loyally with me for the two months I had been employed at the gym, even though he could have asked for a more experienced trainer. He was also my favorite because his goal was straightforward. Trevor wanted to lose 25 pounds in time for his wedding. The first 17 pounds were easy to lose, but then he hit the wall in his weight loss program. With l

Chapter 2 The rest of my day at the gym was typical for a Monday. I had two more personal training sessions right after lunch, and then spent the remainder of the afternoon completing paperwork and performing inventory of our nutritional supplements. When I wasn't with clients, I found myself thinking about Brian. I replayed in my mind the short conversation we exchanged and was frustrated that I hadn't said more to him. At a minimum, I could have made small talk with him and

Chapter 1 It all took place two months after graduating from Long Beach State. I was on cloud nine with my diploma in hand declaring my successful completion of the Exercise Science program. With my new job as a personal trainer at Sports Court, a full-service fitness center in Long Beach, I felt ready to conquer the world – or at least as soon as I could scrap together enough money to move out of my parents’ house. Living with my parents wasn't all that bad. For the most part, they r

Prologue If you ask my opinion, school really fell short of preparing me to face the realities of life. Honestly, I don't have a bad attitude about learning. It's just that some parts of America’s educational system seem to be rather pointless. Take math class, for instance. The worst offender of irreverent education has got to be forcing students to learn how to solve story problems. At my school, the story problems we learned to solve have had absolutely no practical application to
