This week was a vital week for my project. I met with my mentor for the first time, and we are both now on the same page about my goals and essentially my project as a whole. She was reading over my proposal and she mentioned that change is a good thing, and she has rarely or never seen a WISE students project change or shift goals, which is something I knew going into this. I was talking to another WISE Student the other day and he was mentioning how just one conversation with a family member shifted his thinking to a different aspect of his project, and I hope something like that happens with me at some point. On the other hand, I finally have an actual trainer on board with me for the 16 weeks.
I met with my trainer on Wednesday (2/13) and we got all the basics out of the way. I think he's going to be a great motivator, because at the end of our consultation he said he was going to start brainstorming ways for me to train with my back. I felt like I had found a good trainer based on his almost immediate commitment to finding ways for me to be successful. I will have 8 sessions with him, (trainers can be expensive), so in the 16 week period we will be meeting once every other week from what it looks like now. Now, it's time to train.
