This post has been a couple of months in the making. Something about putting it all out there in print makes it more of a reality. I’m guessing you know my next plans by the title of this post. That’s right, I’m working on getting certified on becoming a group fitness instructor! I’m excited and very nervous all at the same time.

In November I weighed my heaviest at 211 pounds. Now, only 4 months later, I’m at 164 and training to run a 5k and by this summer I hope to run my first 10k. This transition has gone so fast! That’s the first point I want to make. I think it’s important to realize that no matter where you are in your health journey it’s NEVER TOO LATE to get started to make healthier choices! I have no idea how God is going to use this new idea I have, but I know I’m using my body as a way to serve Him by getting healthier.

If all goes as plan I’ll be taking my first certification test around April 12. Then I’ll have to decide on what module I want to get certified in. I have a couple of ideas, but I’ll announce it after I have it set for sure. I’ll be honest. I continue to doubt myself daily. The thought of whether I’ll be good enough and if others will take me serious in the fitness world scare me. Me being an introvert doesn’t help, but I love the idea of getting up in class and leading others to make the same changes I did, or help them continue to improve their fitness level. Is it really possible to accomplish all of this in 6 months time? I guess we’ll find out, one step at a time! I’ll keep you updated.

Take care,
