SIX MONTHS.
It's been six months since I've posted about my journey. Previously, if it had been six months, even I would have thought I had fallen off the proverbial wagon. But, the truth is that life happened. As it does to us all. And, in the hustle and bustle of trying a new career, getting my personal training certification, and enjoying time with my friends and family, my blog tumbled into the wayside. I thought many times about different posts and how I could write them. And finally, I realized that I just needed to do it.... so, six months of blog posts... Reader's Digest Style.
November -- A New Career!
Yep...I've decided to get my certification for personal training and nutrition! I've officially signed up for online classes and have a shiny new backpack emblazoned with NASM to prove it! I did what I do best and created a study guide to follow! Here's to six months of studying!
December -- A New Career....Part Two!
So, three weeks into my journey to Personal Trainer-dom, I've been offered a job with American Income Life selling life insurance to union members. I never would consider this except that the guy I'll be working for is one of the most inspirational people I've met and I really think I could learn something from him. Are sales my forte? Hahahahhhahaha! But...I figure it's something I'm going to have to learn for my new career as a trainer. Right? So....here goes studying my butt off for the test!
January -- New Year. New Me.
I finally got the clearance to lift again back in the middle of November! FINALLY!!! But, between travelling for Thanksgiving and for my mom's award ceremony and Christmas, getting to the gym just never seems to happen. Cause...ya know...life. But, no excuses. I'm maintaining my weight and ready to get back to it. I've created myself a new workout plan like the rest of the planet and I'm looking forward to getting my goals back on track for me.
February-April -- Passion
Three months of my life given over to selling insurance. And I learned something intensely important. To sell anything, you have to be passionate about one of two things: whatever your product or service is OR making money at any cost. I have never ever been motivated by dollars and insurance is definitely not something I'm passionate enough about to sell it well. So, I'm taking three weeks to study my butt off for the PT test and then back to the drawing board!
And that brings me to May....which will be the subject of my next post! :)
(Oh...and that PT test...PASSED!)
