My Journey/ About Me/ Visits from friends

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.

I Love My Coffee

I love coffee. I don't necessarily NEED to have it. I even stopped drinking it for a while and just had tea but I love the taste of it. I used to drink Starbucks all the time but now I make my coffee at home. When it started to get hot here I stopped drinking my coffee in the morning because hot coffee and hot weather was just too much for me. Then I realized I should just make iced coffee! I have a couple recipes I have been using lately and would love to write them. Some of them are healthy and some of them, not so much. Vanilla Creme: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Vanilla Creme SweetLeaf Stevia Drops  to taste Chocolate Raspberry: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Chocolate Raspberry SweetLeaf Stevia Drops  to taste Iced Mocha Coffee: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) A couple squirts of Hershey's Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup You can basically make it anyway you want to. I would love to get the flavors of Hazelnut, Pumpkin S...

So Many Changes

During my last post I was still doing my externship at a veterinary clinic near me. Since then, I have been hired as a veterinary technician! I have been loving this job. It's been stressful but has been so rewarding.  My goals lately have been some smaller ones such as getting better at blood draws (I have hit 100% of my veins in the last 3 weeks!), triple checking invoices, and getting all my charts completed by the end of the day. When I feel that I have improved enough I will start training in surgery. That's my goal anyway. Then, once I start training in surgery and become a surgery tech I can start working towards my goal of becoming a critical care technician.  I have progressed in my career but I have also progressed in my personal life as well.  I have finally hit my goal weight since getting off my birth control and getting the Paragard. Now my next goal is to build more muscle, gain endurance, and become more flexible again. I have also started can...
