Trainer Summit, Super Q in New York and a little extended stay in the BIG CITY!! I am so fired up!
LaborDay weekend
Going to take a few days and visit my parents in Louisiana. Hey did you all know that there is not a gym in the Shreveport area with the Les Mills programs? Man, makes life tough for me when I visit!
September 19-21
BODYFLOW initial training for me....what? huh? yep....
This is way out of the comfort zone, but I need to do it. It is a goal of mine to have all certs. The last one may never come. Have not decided which is harder...a 2 by 4 doesnt bend...it breaks - me doing BODYFLOW. OR white girl to the core - me doing BODYJAM. Hopefully the former can be taught. Dont have much faith in the latter!! :)

I AM JUST RETURNING HOME FROM MY FIRST MODULE TRAINING AS A TRAINEE. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE WAY I FEEL AT THIS MOMENT. GOD HAS TRULY BLESSED ME AND TODAY I KNOW THAT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH HIM. GETTING TO EXPERIENCE A TRAINING THROUGH THE EYE'S OF A TRAINER HAS GIVEN ME MORE REWARD THAN I DESERVE. TO KNOW THAT 11 PEOPLE PUT THEIR LIVES ON HOLD TO COME AND LEARN FROM ME IS JUST OVERWHELMING. THANKS TO EACH OF YOU....STEFANI, JASON, TRACI, THERESE, JOHN, SAL, STACI, M.C., MIRANDA, KIMBERLY AND BROOKE FOR MAKING THIS A WEEKEND I WILL NEVER FORGET. MOST OF ALL, THANKS TO SCOTT (THE TRAINER) FOR GIVING ME A CHANCE TO GROW AND SPREAD MY WINGS...AS THE COOLDOWN PUT IT SO WELL. I LOOK SO FORWARD TO HEARING HOW EACH OF YOU IS DOING. KNOW THAT YOU MADE A FRIEND THIS WEEKEND AND I WILL CONTINUE TO BE THERE ANY TIME. MY GOAL IS TO HELP YOU REACH YOURS AND PRAY THAT YOUR JOURNEY TO BECOMING WORLD CLASS LES MILLS INSTRUCTORS IS ALL YOU HOPE FOR AND MORE...KIA KAHA!!!

Happy Memorial Day to all! My trip towards bootcamp has begun!! I have arrived at my parent's house in Louisiana for a few day visit before heading towards BootCamp in Ft Worth. I am so excited!! woohoo!!
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES!!!
When you feel the muscles in your shoulders straining, when your heart is beating two hundred times a minute, when your legs feel like they can't handle one more turn, and when each breath burns your lungs, that's when you know you have to push harder."
~unknown
“Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started.”
Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.
The greatest pleasure in life, is doing the things people say we cannot do.
The five S's of sports training are: Stamina, Speed, Strength, Skill and Spirit; but the greatest of these is Spirit.
You have a choice. You can throw in the towel, or you can use it to wipe the sweat off of your face.
Ability is what you are capable of doing.
Motivation determines what you do.
Attitude determines how well you do it.
When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.
If you want to make God laugh, just try and make plans for the future.
"Tough times don't last but tough people do."
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Just because your muscles start to protest doesn't mean you have to listen.
Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.
I find that the harder I work the more luck I have.
MY FAVORITE (AS OF RIGHT NOW) - You can rest when you're dead....HA!!
5-18
oh my goodness. We are down to 10 days until bootcamp. Wow, the body is fatigued!!! Heavy weights and alot of endless nights studying my les Mills "bible". Oh, i cannot wait!!!! An experience of a lifetime is just around the corner!!
my favorite quote is "no change eguals no change"
"No matter who you are, no matter what you do, you absolutely, positively do have the power to change."

HAVE HAD A GREAT MONTH OF APRIL. NOT ONLY HAVE WE GOTTEN THE CIVIC CENTER UP AND RUNNING, BUT I HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE GROUP FITNESS PROGRAM AT GOLDS. THIS HAS BEEN SO EXCITING FOR ME BECAUSE NOW I GET TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING IN RPM, COMBAT, AND VIVE. IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE THE TRUE ESSENCE OF LES MILLS YOU HAVE TO STAY ON TOP OF THE RELEASES!!! THE MORE THE MERRIER....I LOVE A FULL PLATE.

THE ABC'S OF ATTACK......AGGRESSIVE, BAD, COMBATIVE, DETERMINATION, ENDURANCE, FABULOUS, GREAT, HARD, INTENSE, JUMP..DID SOMEONE SAY JUMP?, KICKIN', LOOOOONNNNNNG, MAGNIFICENT, "N"RGY, OBSESSIVE, POWERFUL, QUADS ON FIRE!!!!, RESISTANCE, STAMINA, TOUGH, UNBELIEVABLE, VIGOROUS, WORK, XASPORATING, YUMMY, AND ZIPPITY ZIPPITY DOO DAH, ZIPPITY DO DAH DAY!!!

I am so excited about my new adventure. I have owned a fitness center in Gardendale for 4 years with Les Mills Group Fitness in 6 programs. In March of this year, i closed my gym. I have had the opportunity to completely redo the Group Fitness Program at the Gardendale Civic Center. We launched BODYPUMP AND BODYSTEP the first of April. We have just oompleted out first full week of classes. The Civic Center went from 2 free style classes to 35 programs. In our first 5 days, we had over 150 different people come and do the programs!!! This has been so exciting for me and my team.
I am always looking for more BODYPUMP AND BODYSTEP instructors, so if you are interested please holler!! Thanks and look forward to meeting any of you that might be in the Birmingham area and want to come exercise with us.
Cant wait until the Quarterly in Nashville!!!
