My Journey/ About Me/ Visits from friends

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Hi! This is my very first post on this Blog. I've tried doing other blogs but I wanted to start a new one mostly because I feel as though I'm starting a new chapter in my life.

I've always known that I wanted to help people and I have always been interested in reading about health and anything fitness related. I was also a competitive figure skater for over ten years and I coached for 5 years. However, my husband's job requires us to move often and not everywhere we move has an ice rink. So I got to thinking, how can I help people become healthy and boost their confidence? After much researching (over a years worth) I decided that I want to become a personal trainer. I enrolled in the Personal Training program at American Council on Exercise and have begun my journey to becoming healthier and helping others do the same.

With that said I will tell you a little about me. I am 24 years old and just moved to the South. I am originally from Wisconsin ( GO PACK GO) but just moved here from Arizona and before that Hawaii. I have a fur baby named Ninja who we adopted and rescued last year. I work as an Independent Consultant with Thirty One Gifts and help people shop, organize their lives, make their lives a little easier, and work from home.


This past weekend one of my best friends and her sister came to visit. We hung out on the deck, ate pizza, went to the pool, and even had a few drinks together! I loved visiting with them and can't wait until we can get together again. Usually I only get to see family and friends once a year but since I moved to the mainland I have been able to visit/get visits more often. When we went to the pool I was so excited to use my new Deluxe Utility Tote. It held everything we needed and I even used the outside pockets to hold our phones and our sunblock.

Well that's all for now. I'm hoping to be able to write in here at least once a week with my progress, what's going on in my life, and any ideas that I come up with.

LASIK: Three Week Review

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
So on May 27th I had my LASIK surgery! I'm going to write the great, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Day Of The morning of the surgery I woke up very early to make the 1.5 hour drive the where the center was. They said to make sure to eat the morning of because they didn't want the valium to make my stomach upset. I managed to get some nuts, granola, and some other snacks down. I was really nervous so eating a bit was hard. If I could do it again I would have eaten an actual breakfast! I didn't eat enough and afterwards I was very nauseous. When I finally got to the clinic I waited about a half an hour after my appointment time to be seen. I wasn't in a huge hurry just very anxious and the wait didn't help. I already new what to expect but I just wanted it done and over with. I was finally called in and we went over some paperwork that I had to sign, they made sure I knew about all the risks involved, I made the payment, and then they gave me a little happ...

My First Day at GNC

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!
