I have decided to look into getting certified to be a fitness professional. The area I plan to work is in personal training. I was chatting with my dental hygenist this morning, as she is involved in excercising as well, and she offered me her phone number and her services to help me get started in the process of getting "certified." I don't know what certification is yet, nor have I explored the income, or the hours; but I am stoked to move forward with my personal goals as well as help with some income as well!
I can definatly see myself making a career of it.
If anyone has any information, please, e-mail me!

It's on. My goals.
It's been a year since I started this blog. It just goes to show you that fitness is a journey, and not a destination. I still have the same goals I did before, and the wonderful women who are 35, 45, and 55 years old that are rockin' super hot bod's have me convinced and inspired that I do not need to be in a hurry. It's not like once you hit a certain age its "too late." You can get fit whenever you want! I know I will get there, through perseverance and positive behavior. I am going to be 27 this year. I am WAY ahead of the game.
I have had a roller coaster year. From being fired, to getting pregnant, to being really really depressed, to having terrible morning sickness, and then coming out of depression and within a week-feeling normal for the first time in a long time.
I feel great, and at only 2 weeks postpartum, have gotten the OK to work out in the gym again. Be still my heart. Now I need to somehow figure out how to do that with a 3 week old baby. And get my YMCA membership. I also have tons of bad habits to revise. I decided to eat whatever I wanted during the pregnancy (knowing full well that it would require twice as much work to get off my body) and gained 50 lbs. I dropped 20 from birth to 2 weeks (I have no idea how-but what a blessing that is~) So I now have 30 lbs left to "loose." I am not all about "weight loss" I am all about "Muscle gain" but clearly, some weight needs to come off. And what better way to do that than by building some great. big. fat. eating. muscle?
Goal #1: Get my membership to the YMCA back. By February 15th, my birthday.
Goal #2: Look at the calendar and figure out 3 days a week to do a 45 minute routine at the gym.
Goal #3: Try to control my diet. Not NO candy, just LESS candy. :) Find unexpected places to insert protein in my foods.
