Saturday once more...

I am taking a mommy day today. First I am going to the gym and work out and then meet friends for lunch. Just me, no kids, no hubby, haven't done this in ages.
Things are going well, my studies are going, I am actually ahead of schedule, cause I can devote more than one hour to studies each day.
I have to remember a lot of muscles and know when they are tight, what it does to the posture.
Posture is very important to a personal trainer, it prevents injuries.
Still wreckin, my brain, where I wanna go if I pass. I got an offer from the gym I work out as, but they had a lot of changes lately, and I know another gym would pay me more. So we'll see. I am hoping to be done and certified by November, to be ready for everybody that wants loose or get in shape after christmas.

a great Saturday

First off I got to sleep in. Yeah, 8:00am is sleeping in for me. Then we ate breakfast, grabbed the pup and the kids and off we went to drop the puppy of at playschool. The trainer recommended for her to go to Doggy Day care. Very nice and very clean place. I was impressed.
Then we went to Target to pick up mine and Anika's meds. And some other things, mainly from the Dollar Spot. Then we went to the gym, I did a 30min run/walk. I really want to run the 5K in October for the Lance Armstrong foundation.
Home for lunch and then I took a nap. I really needed it, I was so tired. When I got up our puppy was laying in the living room, and for the next 3hrs she did not move. LOL I think I like playschool. Steve said that apparently she did really well.
Then I made yummy Chicken Stir Fry for dinner, and we went to the pool for a swim after that. Now I figured our my study materials, so I can start the studying. I hope to be certified in November. Scare the pants off of me, but I am trying.
I got to sleep early last night, now I am up before 8am on sunday it's a quiet morning which I love.
not much going on today.

Let the games begin...

I got my package today, with all the study material for my certification. I am excited but also very nervous. I haven't worked since Anika was born. Do poeple want a trainer that still has a few lb. to many on her ribs? These are some things that shoot thru my head.
But then I know I can do this, I am having so much fun working out, I had gym memberships before and just never stuck to it. Now I see the success. I went from being 256lb. Down to 197lb. It was hard freaking work, but I also had fun doing it. I wanna show others like myself, that if you set your mind to it, you can do it.
What is the secret? Well the wonderpill = Diet & Exercise... There is no easy way to loose weight, you have to be ready to do it. You have to know, that you need to work out at least 5x a week, that you can only eat certain amounts of food. It also helps if you eat the right foods. Yeah you can eat 1400 Calories in Ice Cream and Pizza, but that is not what your body needs or deserves. 1400 Calories, of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and good proteins, that's is what you body wants and deserves. You are worth it.
These past 8 months have been a life change for me. And I have to thank my husband, for all the support he has given me on this journey. I love you hon.
Anika has been such a sweetheart, the other day she gave me a hug, and said:"Mom I can get all the way around!!!" That was the best compliment.
These are the things I want to share with my clients, I wanna be there for them, to support them, to reach their goals.

what was the heck was I thinking???

Of all weekends I pick this one, to switch the kids room and paint them too. I am an Idiot.
Anika's room is painted, and she is able to sleep in there tonight. Her old room (now Lars'room)whole different story. I have furniture everywhere in the house and it looks like all He** broke loose. Tomorrow, we are going to a friends to pick up a dest for her room, and we also need to get the paint for Lars' room. Then I have to work like a madwomen, (with Steve's help) to get it all done.
It is cool, Anika picked a nice light lime green and a very light lilac for wall paint, and I will free hand some fairies soon. Lars is getting light blue walls and we bought Cars wall Stickers to put up. Not sure, I'll sew him a checkerflag Duvet Cover or not, we'll see, cause I kind of like the Star Wars Comforter.
Other than that we are getting ready for school, on Monday we have meet the teacher, I am excited, so is Anika. Then Tuesday it's the real deal. I am exhausted, so I will clear a patch from the kids rooms to our room and then go to bed.
Yawn.
