I know I haven't written on here in forever. I've been going through some rough times the past couple months. My poor baby, Ninja, passed away and I have had a hard time. I'm not going to write much about it here since it still feels raw but maybe later.
Even though Ninja passed away I still managed to study every day leading up to my exam and I passed! Now all I have to do is put my certificate to good use. I am determined to use my certificate to help people. Not only is it something I want to do for myself but it is something I want to do for Ninja. I think of all the time I spent studying with him on my lap or how he would come outside and deal with the Tennessee heat in the summer just to be by me. Sometimes I would have to leave him inside in order to concentrate for a little while and after listening to his cries I would give up and let him out. I won't let all that time spent studying instead of giving him all my attention go to waste. I know me using my certificate would be what he would want as well.

With me working through everything the past couple months I have gained quite a bit of weight and fat. In order to get a job as a trainer and start helping people I need to lose a bit of weight and body fat percentage. I know I need to look the part and I have been trying to get back to where I was.
I will mostly be posting my workouts, eating habits, and what I have been doing to start my career. I have been working out more regularly but I need to start a schedule (as in a specific time) and I think if I have an event as a goal that would help me as well.
I have been doing Zumba regularly (I started a 20 day program this week) and it's not only a ton of fun but a good workout as well. I'm also signed up for a bootcamp that runs almost a month and that will be starting this week.
My workouts will be done at 0600 and will consist of zumba, bootcamp, and also running/walking.

Even though I'm working on bettering my fitness and physical health, I will also be working on my mental health and focusing on my family more. A very important lesson Ninja's passing taught me is that life is very short and to be present for all of it. I spent almost all of my time with Ninja and I still wish I could have spent more time with him. I will be spending less time on Netflix, social media, etc and more time with family. My husband and I also adopted another kitten (who is now 6 months old) and I am trying to spend as much time with him as possible.
This brings me to my New Resolutions. I know resolutions can be done at any time and not just at a new year but my life just happens to be transitioning at this time. This year though, I am not going to be focusing on completely changing things or completely cutting things out. Instead, I will be focusing on adding more positives to my life:
- Be present more and in the moment
- Show love often
- Add more vegetables to my diet
- Slowly cut back on meat products
- Use more non-animal cruelty products and natural products to our home
- Meditate and practice Yoga more
