If you can't beat 'em

As you know I fell madly, deeply, truly in love with health and fitness!  I was unhappy and uncomfortable with my lifestyle and the condition of my health.  After many tries and many fails, I finally found what worked for me.  I was ready and determined.  I am now committed. 

I go to my gym a lot!  Not even try to cover that up.  I am there 6 out of 7 days and on most days - morning AND night.  The gym and my work outs keep me happy, sane, and keep me functioning.  Lately, I had been thinking...."hmmm what else can I do with my love for health and fitness??"  "is there more for me?"  "Should I....?" 

I had been having thoughts of a career in health and fitness and with that came an entire roller coaster of emotions!  Such as: excitement, fear, excitement, doubt, excitement,  desire, excitement, thirst for knowledge, excitement.  Also thoughts such as: "do it", "are you crazy?", "you will learn", "gotta start somewhere".

Knock Knock.  Who's there?  Opportunity!

Today was my first shift at the gym where I work out.  The gym where I fell in love with health and fitness.  Can you believe it?! 

I will be working a few hours a week and working the floor.  I will be there for people that also share my desire for a healthier lifestyle.   I cannot wait to learn new and exciting things.  I was so nervous going in but I did it!  It's a small step I know and it may not mean much to some BUT I am where I am because of the small steps that I took.  I lost over 100 pounds, became stronger, and became fit all with small steps. 

I'm happy for me and what's to come.  I'm proud of myself to taking the FIRST step into a career in health and fitness!!
