My Birthday Weekend and My First Week Being 26

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Let's take this post back to Thursday, 4 May. I woke up early in the morning to finish getting the house ready for Emmy! After getting the house ready I drove the 1.5 hour drive to the airport to pick her up. On the way back we talked quite a bit. After getting back home we hung out at the house and had a super relaxing day.


The next day was my birthday!! I was turning 26 so I figured a new year should have a fresh healthy start. 


I woke up in the morning and had some coffee on our front porch. After getting some coffee Emmy and I went out to the San Pedro River and decided to do a nice hike.












It was beautiful! After the hike we did some yoga and then took a shower and got ready for the day.


We went to Wal-Mart to grab a few birthday essentials and I gave Emmy a little tour of Sierra Vista.




Later that night Jake made us margaritas and took us to my favorite restaurant so we could get burritos! We ate supper and watched Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. By then it was midnight and everyone, including myself, was exhausted so we went to bed.




Saturday Emmy and I stayed in Sierra Vista and went to a couple different events they have going on. We went to the West End Tour and I bought a couple items for Jake and my Mom.




In the afternoon we went to the pool and in the evening we went to the carnival that was going o in town. We went on a few rides, had cotton candy, and watched a band perform.


Sunday we went to Tombstone! We looked around and shopped in some of the shops there. We also got matching pullovers.








In the afternoon we went to the mall and then we went to one of my favorite spots in town! We watched the sunset and it was beautiful.


Monday it was time for Emmy to leave. We made pancakes in the morning and then she got ready for the 1.5 hours drive to the airport.



Tuesday morning I did foam rolling and some yoga with the garage door open. The wind coming in felt so nice.


I made some scrambled tofu and then tried to catch up on my school work.



Later that evening I worked out with Jake.




Wednesday morning after foam rolling and yoga I decided to try something new. I managed to make tofu mc muffins. They were so good and I'm going to have to make a post on my recipe later. Throughout the day I worked on school and housework and in the evening I lifted weights.








Thursday I went out to get stuff for the house. I worked on school most of the day. Later at night I did some cardio, spinning, and made some supper for Jake.

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!

I Love My Coffee

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
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...

ACE Fitness

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
In one of my earlier posts I said that I am going to school to become a Certified Personal Trainer. I am taking online classes through the American Council on Exercise (ACE).  I am loving it so far! I bought the premium package and it included all the study materials plus a CEC math class, an online syllabus, and even videos/lectures that I can view online. It also came with a re-take exam voucher just in case I don't pass the first time. I am on lesson 10 now. I am going over Chapter 7 in the ACE Personal Trainer Manual and have already completed the Exercise Science portion. I am doing about one lesson a week. I take my quiz for the lesson on Friday and then on the weekends I review all of the Exercise Science book and Personal Trainer Manual. You can do it at your own pace but if I don't structure the lessons for myself I will probably fall behind. The schedule I have set up works pretty well for me but it took me longer than a week to go through a lesson when I was doing E...
