Staycation_Schedule for Week of August 7, 2016

It’s that time!  Staycation have officially started.  Guess what?  I didn’t make it!  I was at my husband’s company event that is held every year for family and I began talking about work!  Face – to – palm.  FAIL!  One of the employees at the venue mentioned that it looked as I worked out and blah, blah, blah we began talking shop.  His wife is a group exercise director for a popular gym chain in the South Dallas area.  After a few minutes, I found myself looking around for hubby as I realized I just broke our number one staycation rule.  Oopsie!

sub picsHubby plans on going on a number of bike rides this week.  If you on participating in our Strong Arm August Challenge, you may have noticed a conversation in our Facebook page…  I plan on sneaking out to some of our Team Best You instructors classes this week.  As far as my classes, I have some fantastic subs lined up for you in my absence.

Anna – P90X at Plano West on Sunday 8/7 at 12:30PM

Alisa – P90X at The Colony on Monday 8/8 at 7:30PM

Heather – Tabata at Plano East on Tuesday 8/9 and Allen on Thursday 8/11 at 5PM

Jeannie – P90X at Parkside at Craig Ranch on Wednesday 8/10 at 5:45AM for residents only.

I will be back on Sunday, August 14th for Tabata…  Maybe with an Olympic theme?  Hmmm…

Today I spent the majority of the day outside.  We played games, rode horses, watched skits, etc.  It HOT!  But you know what?  I didn’t even think about it until my daughter pulled out her phone and showed me what the temperature was (don’t you love technology).  The sun was shining on me and…  Shadows were definitely falling behind me.    As I take this week off to spend with my family, I will keep that in mind…  A daily dose of sunshine, while wearing sunscreen of course.  I hope you remember that as well!

MAKE IT A FANTASTIC WEEK!

The best way to start my story begins with me breaking down in a plus size women’s store dressing room. I was trying to squeeze myself into a size 16W and I was nowhere near able to lift it over my derrière. I was sweating and began to cry. I had stopped stepping on the scale at 220 pounds. I had no idea what I weighed at this point. I told myself it was time for a change and this time it was going to be permanent. I remembered what my “happy weight” was and I decided to make a plan to reach this weight again. I was employed as a corporate recruiter and was very successful as this role. It was important that when I met prospective clients and prospective recruits, they could trust their futures with someone that “had it together”. I began walking and researching eating right. I had also got pregnant and went through a stressful divorce. The emotions took a toll on my weight. I began dating a very active man. We began running together, at a time that he was trying to “give it up,” I had become hooked. I began training for 5K’s, then 10K’s and ultimately a half marathon. The day we got married, I was 190 pounds. Nowhere near my goal weight, but he made me feel like a princess. When we returned from our honeymoon, I immediately joined a female, non-military style boot camp and dropped another fifty-two pounds. I was extremely happy in my skin. I started to receive the popular question, “How did you do it?” which led me to the next step in my journey… In 2011, I began studying for my AFAA personal training certification. In June, I passed and began a healthcare initiative at the company in which I was employed. We started weight loss competitions and I led workouts and health lectures during these competitions. When the competitions were not being held, my coworkers would still seek my guidance, and I loved being able to help them during their journey. I also began working for the same boot camp that I started my weight loss journey. I am continuously adding certifications and adding to my education to make me the best instructor I can be. With the enthusiasm and encouragement of my husband, I left the corporate world to pursue Fitness full-time. This allows me to pursue my passion and help others to explore their personal journeys to a healthier, happier, fitter person. My job is to be their coach, their shoulder to cry on and their motivator when they feel they can’t go on. I do it proudly! With every class, work out, personal training session, etc.; my motto is the same: “It’s you vs. you”. The only competition that you should be with is yourself. You should be enough. You don’t know what the person’s journey is next to you; you only know your journey. You are enough reason to improve your life… And I’m more than happy to help you to do so!
