Update on me

My schedule is a bit crazy- when isn't it. That's the way I like my life. I seem to get restless when I have too many nights at home doing nothing. I like to have side projects/ businesses/ events, etc etc.

I was studying to get my Certified Personal Trainers certificate from NASM. I was in a 9 week program to study, take the exam and start training. It was an exciting thing for me!! I still am excited about it but I needed to take a little break to focus on coaching my cheerleaders. That 9 weeks I started... it's been a few months back.


In case you missed it- I am also a middle school cheerleader coach.
I love coaching these girls so much. I truly have fallen in love with them. However basketball season has been crazy. Games 2 nights a week and practice 1 day.
I also take my daughters to dance 1 day that leaves 1 week-day at home to get anything done!

I needed to make a decision to follow my career in fitness or to follow my career in coaching? I decided to cram in one more thing- omg!!! I got a part time job at my local YMCA as a fitness room attendant. It has been really fun getting acclimated to being in the gym setting. I even get to teach a weekly Pilates Reformer class. Which I LOVE!!! In order to do this though I had to give up being with my cheerleaders 1 night a week. I feel like I have missed out- but I do still get to do both and love both.

So there I was... cheer 2 days a week, dance 1 day a week, working at the ymca 1-3 days a week and enjoying every minute of it. Yes it was exhausting and at times I just wanted stay home and do nothing. But now here I am in between seasons and not knowing what to do with myself.

Cheer season just ended and we have a bit of a break. It hasn't even been a week and I miss my girls so much!!! I'm going to take this time to put the focus back on getting my CPT license. Also there is a Varsity head coach position open at the school I coach at now. I'm super excited about the possibility of moving into a bigger role. So I am also going to put a lot of work into making sure that I am absolutely qualified for that position (I'll keep you posted as to whether I get it or not- say prayers for me). 

So for the next few months plan to see a lot of me on here. As I enjoy my time at the ymca- and prepare for the upcoming cheer season I will need all the love and support you can give. THANK YOU for you following :)

Weight Loss Suppliments

So here's my dilemma ... I really want to lose just a little bit more weight. Not a lot. I'm talking like less than 10 pounds. But I am having a terrible time doing it . I know the best answer is diet and exercise.  Definitely 100% agree !!! My problem is that when it comes to dieting I have plateaued. :( I lost a bunch of weight when I first changed my diet. I am now so much more knowledgeable about calories and fats and sweets. I have been really good at controlling what I put in my body. So now eating healthy is my new "norm" - yay! unfortunately that's not dropping the pounds any more. So what do I do? I already am only eating 1200 calories a day so I obviously don't want to go below that. Exercise is great. It really is . I love it! I just don't have time for it. I have tons of work-out plans, seriously I have a binder full of exercises  BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME . I have 3 kids to take care of ...
