More About Me

I realize I have an about me page. But it dawned on me that many may not click on it or care to click on it. So I’m going to give an update on my profile here in a post.

It’s the start of 2010 and I’ve been training professionally (ie: paid) for over 4 years now. 3 years specifically in one gym which is virtually unheard of in this profession! I LOVE MY GYM! The Buckley Anytime Fitness is truly the best. We are the smallest of their 3 gyms, but yet we all really talk to each other and help each other. I’ve never been a member of a gym that is so cool. We have so many regulars and this is just a huge incentive to our newbies to become a regular. We include you and we honestly do want you to become a regular

But about me…roflmbo Yeah, I’m sarcastic as hell. I swear better than any trucker, just ask my trucker, electrician father-in-law and my dad who was laborer and my husband that USED to be a carpenter. K, don’t ask my Dad as I still worry about saying *hit in front of him. lol I can out swear any of them. I do try not to and I keep it out of the gym for the most part. But not if I’m working out. I try hard to workout only when no minors are present so I don’t have to worry about it. Hey, Jillian swears up a storm on national tv right? Why do I have to pretend to be different?

I LOVE MY MEN IN THE SERVICES! I’d love to train women in services, I just don’t have any in my life that live close by. I have all my firefighters (hubby is one of them) and my cops. I LOVE IT! Who better to understand they can’t make an appointment because they were on a fire or SWAT call than a fellow wife? Yeah, I know that also gets them more privileges out because I have empathy, BUT more times than not they won’t lie to me about it. Duh, I can ask their buddy or go online to someone and find out if I want lol We all know we suck at lieing and will narc each other out.

Me, OH, you wanted to know about me. I am a total Momma. I take care of everyone. I battle the weight all the time. Some years I have it great, other years we have too much fun and I have to battle it. I’ll be honest and 2009 was bad for my weight and my body. It truly was. BUT, it was so good for building my confidence in who I am and who I love. I’m deeply in love with my friends and family right now.

As you read in my about me page, I gained about 70 pounds with my first kid. I gained OVER 70 with the second, no idea how much because I was in tears and closed my eyes when I got on the scale. I had no idea how to eat and how NOT to eat. So why didn’t my OBGYN tell me or put me in the right direction instead of just telling me constantly that I was gaining too much weight? I also didn’t know I could still work out when I was pregnant. That is sad.

Why is it sad? Because doctors honestly have no idea how to help. My going to school I learned that my 2 nutrition classes was 2 more nutrition classes than the majority of doctors take in our country. It’s not required and they have so much to take, why would they take anything not required. If you think about it, why would they take any rehab or training type classes? They wouldn’t, they seriously don’t have time. So look to professionals for your needs in these cases, I’ve learned that general docs are not the answer all the time. I love to talk to specialists, especially now as I get closer to 40! K, I’m 37 next month, but that is still getting close to 40. lol

I battle my weight because I am human and I set myself up with those pregnancies. Right now I am in the battle to keep my weight down. I’m human. YEP, sorry to inform you of that. But right now I am carrying an extra 15 pounds because of too much fun this summer and not enough paying attention. I can however name you almost every one of the 15 pounds in the fun I’ve had. I’m actually impressed it’s not worse sometimes because of the fun I’ve had and not paying attention to my food and drink. THAT is what exercise will help you with.

Right now I am in a battle to get my body back. I don’t like being 15 pounds over my last target weight. It’s not where I want to be even, but no one has a clue what my weight is when I do lose the 15 pounds. lol That is what muscle will do for ya as well. But my goal is to get back to what I was 8 years ago. I want to bust the shirt sleeves out of my medium tshirts because my biceps are awesome and not bulge out the middle. It’s the little things that mean SO MUCH!!!

There ya go, more about me than you ever wanted. lmbo
