Y'all....this is my 3rd blog. I kind of feel like I suck at blogging (many of you are skipping this blog now, but hear me out). I've always had a blog that centered around "something". First, I had a blog about all the hilariousness that involve my kids. I mean, for real, they are funny! Then I had a blog where I did a day by day of contest prep for my last figure competition (that's a division of body building). Then I had a workout blog (so I guess this is my 4th actually) and in every instance I blogged for a few weeks and then....I felt, suddenly, like I didn't have enough to write about. "Who cares about what my kids say? I can just throw it in a facebook status and get 20 likes" "Who cares about my journey to figure competitions? What if I totally lose and then everyone thinks I'm not someone they want to take advice from?" (I won) "Who cares my views on fitness? They are pretty much like a million other people out there".
Here are a few things that have happened since my last blog post about a year or more ago:
1) (I think) I'm less selfish. What if 90% of people looking at my blog scroll through it and get nothing from it, but one person is inspired to change their life? What if one little thing I say is the catalyst to get someone moving? Then it's worth it. It's worth the people rolling their eyes at another picture of me working out, another gymspirational meme, another quick fitness tip. So selfishness aside, I want to inspire people to be alive and involved, to get healthy, to love themselves and in the process, I'd like to do all of those things myself - there's always room for improvement, right?
2) All my kids are in school 5 days a week so I have a few minutes every day to write something cool....or lame - you be the judge
3) I've decided to blog about EVERYTHING! That way my 80 year old grandmother can follow me for posts about her awesome great grandchildren, funny stories etc. and the mom pushing that stroller down my block can follow me for some at home mommy workout tips
4) I got inspired. Yep, my friend Jennifer said to me "I was thinking about your business....." and through some really long text message pep talks and one in person pep talk she INSPIRED me to share my knowledge with everyone via a blog. Thanks Jennifer! Now, she thinks (and I like to think) that I'm knowledgeable in the area of health and fitness. I hold a 4 year B.S. degree in health and wellness and 11 fitness certifications. I have a gym in my garage and do early morning training sessions for small groups. I LOVE exercising and finding new ways TO exercise. I also am a BIG believer in supplements and am involved in what I believe to be the greatest nutrition supplement company on the planet. Get ready, Ima tell you all about what you should be taking and why!
5) I like to write, but I suck at grammar and punctuation. Do not read this blog and rip it apart (I guess you can...you can do whatever you want, but for real I know I overuse the comma,,,,,,,, I can't stop)
So guys! I hope this finds you loving life and eager to read one more blog about EVERYTHING
