Let’s Do This!!

Where to start!? I have tried to start a blog a few times, but nothing ever stuck. It was like it was not what I was to be writing about. I would design a page and get to where I was going to post my first entry. However, that was as far as it would go. But this time feels totally different. A brand new chapter in my life has begun and I am very excited!

I found my love for fitness after having our two beautiful children, Liam and Emma. Being blessed by having our children and my loving husband in my life, I decided it was my responsibility to start taking better care of myself. I did not workout on a regular basis. My eating habits were not horrible, but they were not the best either. I decided to start to working out just by running. I could never run a full mile without stopping. This made me push myself harder. My first goal I set was to reach what most runners call, the runner’s high. My first time experiencing that high was amazing. It is like you are completely free and could run for a long time! Once I hit that goal I wanted to set another. That goal was to lose the rest of the baby weight I gained. Let’s admit it ladies, losing that weight is a hard thing to do (but you all can do it!!). I found a few workout programs to do in the comfort of my home. They helped me get into shape and it was convenient for a stay-at-home mom. Finding a gym that had childcare without spending a ton of money was hard. I did not let that stop me!!

While we lived in California, I attended a few Stroller Stride classes. I LOVED it! Working out with fellow moms and their children was very motivating. It was right then that I felt that I needed to take the next step in my fitness journey. I prayed and was told to enroll in a school to be a trainer. I wanted to be hands on with being able to help others with their health and fitness goals. The thought of designing a personal workout program to help an individual reach their goal gets me so excited. I studied very hard and took my exam. I was so nervous! When I submitted my exam I literally held my breath waiting for the results. When the results came back as passing a huge weight was lifted. I thanked God for getting me this far and asked where I was to go next.

Now here I am! I know deep in my heart this is where my calling is. I have been blessed to have this passion for fitness, that I need to make a difference in other people’s lives. I feel that it is very important for a person to take care of their body. There are a few out there that are on the right track. Others who are trying to find their way. We are told in the Bible to treat our bodies as a temple. “Do you know that your bodies are temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price, Therefore honor God with your bodies” 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20, NLT.  He gave us this one body and taking care of it glorifies Him.

So let’s do this!!! I will be right by your side! I plan on talking about a bunch of things that are connected to being healthy and fit. Topics from different exercises you can do for different parts of your body, healthy food recipes, fitness apps, workout clothing, workout equipment, and the list goes on.
