My End of the Year Brag

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!

I have not fallen off the face of the earth but I have been hiding out in a

quiet room trying to get some studying done. Unfortunately I'm not as far as

long as I'd hope to be by now.

I guess it comes as no surprise that my Brag for the year is finaly figuring out

what I want to do with my life. Many of you know that I have been rather

unhappy/bored with my job over most of the year and I spent a lot of time

wondering what it was I really wanted to do. It took a lot of soul

searching and a huge shove in the right direction from a couple of friends to

finally realize that what I really like to do is working out and helping

people....... So I took a huge leap and signed up for a Personal Trainers

Certification Course. I considered putting it off until the New Year

figuring I wasn't nearly ready enough to tackle this right before Christmas but

I thought of going all the way to Houston to training camp with

and I thought that HEY I can do it too! Right after I made the decision to take

the course, in fact it was the day I got confirmation that

I was enrolled, I found out that was going to be in Toronto for a few days

teaching classes. I spent a wonderful day in Toronto and was blessed to spend a

fair amount of time with Trevor which really boosted my self esteem and self

confidence. I mentioned to that I was planning on

becoming a Personal Trainer and that I wanted to work with people out of their

homes, specifically people who have never worked out or have become sedentary

through excessive weight gain or injury or illness. He gave me a huge hug and

told me that it was a very special path I was taking and that

it would be full of special people.

I have completed the four day course and have the dreaded Theory exam on the

13th of January and if I pass that (ie get 80%) then I can schedule my practical

exam. Oh yeah did I mention that somewhere in there I have to get my CPR, in

order to get the results of my theory exam!

I have however come up with a slogan for my " business "

" Functional Training for Active Living "

Thanks to everyone here for all their support and motivation over the past year.
