Wonder
Nope. It’s not Halloween, but I am dressing up. It’s superhero day at the gym where I work and I went as Wonder Woman! I do love a good costume/halloween/dress up day as evidenced by the lengths I will go to for a laugh! Exhibits A, B, and C: As I slipped on my bright blue lycra… Continue reading

Confessions of an Introvert
I showed my husband the website. We organized the dates, arranged for time off of work, and made it happen. I was going to attend a fitness conference on the east coast. It seemed so far away when we were planning it months ago. There were 4 locations to choose from. Why not go somewhere… Continue reading

The Boat
It’s ugly here right now. More often than not I feel like the father in Mark 9:24 “I do believe! Help me overcome my unbelief!” I go from being so sure, to being completely uncertain and shaken.

Turns out she… Continue reading

Extra stuff, emails, business, setting up shop, moving, going to work, maintenance; the monotony of life. Think about what… Continue reading

I See You
The gym is such a weird, wonderful place. It is a prime location for spectacular people watching opportunities. Working in the gym affords me more time than most to observe, and of course work with, all types of people. I want you to know I see you. I see you putting in the time. I… Continue reading

Importance
The topic of nutrition has been brewing in my mind for the past couple of weeks, and then today’s one word prompt of Healthy popped up. Last night I was watching the documentary Sugar Coated on Netflix. And in church this morning, part of the sermon addressed time; that which we deem important we will make… Continue reading

All the Feels
One day I decided to apply for a job and chase a dream. Scratch that. I procrastinated for 2 years because I was scared of failing. I stuck a toe in the water, but got my teeth kicked in. A year later, I carried around an application in my car for a week waiting. Waiting… Continue reading

Trainer Essentials: Hiring a Quality Trainer
I’m in the process of transition as my minions will be out of school for summer and I will be dialing down my workload. I’m having daily conversations with clients about their programs and where they go from here. The question that keeps coming up is, “What should I be looking for when hiring a… Continue reading
