Kia Ora, Mates!

My journey into the world of Les Mills happened almost four years ago, when our local YMCA wanted to launch this awesome weight training program. I was instantly smitten, and was blessed with great instructors whom I can now call my friends... (Go Niki! You rock, Pat! Renee is in the house!) I am forever grateful to them for urging me on to take the BodyPump training, so here I am, certified in BP, and now awaiting official word of my certification in BodyAttack. (Edit: As of April '07 I'm certified! Woo hoo!) Dang! If you would have told me a year ago that I would be the one doing the inspiring, I would have told you 'ya right!' :) I am so fortunate to be surrounded by such a great team... Judy, Holly, Niki, Pat, Renee, Eilis, Teri, Sondra, Nick, Stacy, Mary, and Malissa... thank you ALL for your encouragement and inspiration! :)

Outside of the fitness world, I wear several hats... My college degree is actually in Dental Hygiene, which I've enjoyed doing on a part-time basis for over 18 years. I am also a volunteer firefighter/EMT with the Waterloo Fire & Rescue department, which I've been involved with the past five years. I'm also involved in our kids' school, supporting them through our PTA and booster clubs.

I am so blessed to have a great husband of 18+ years, John, and four very active kids. Evan is 15, has his school permit (*gulp*) and loves sports, music, and computer gaming. Katie is 13 and you will always find her with either a basketball, soccer ball, guitar, or saxophone. Shane is 11 and loves playing football! He's also learning to play the trombone. Kelli is 8 and is force to be reckoned with on the soccer field. She's also learning to play the piano.

Thanks for stopping by... Kia Kaha!

Hey chickie!
Thanks for the note! I didn't realize Katie and Eric were so close in age.........is she just 13 or going on 14? Don't even speak the learners permit stuff yet.....even though it's a year early, I'm having a hard enough time going to all these high school open houses! We're trying to get ourselves wrapped around our best choices now so we aren't rushed to choose next year.

Anyway, how's everything else? Getting excited for your upcoming trip? is this the one you were booking at Target while we shopped for launch gifts? can't believe it's coming up already! Wish we were going somewhere like that too!

Well, getting ready to head to bed. I'm still looking at your Friday date to sub. I'll let you know soon.

Have a good rest of the week. See you next Monday!

Hi Kris,
Just wanted to add a little bit for everyone to read.
Kris may be small but she is mighty!! I took the BA training with Kris and she is all over her classes. She is a great inspiration for me. She will help me by shadowing in my BA class to help our members and to feed me energy. Making the class a lot more enjoyable for everyone.
Thanks Kris!!!

Hey Kris!!

Great blog! I especially like the Zig Ziglar quote at the end.....that certainly fits, doesn't it??

The viewing party was fun, wasn't it? I'm glad we started that.....it will be fun to see what we can make of it in the future too!

Looking forward to 61 with you and our team.
See you in the morning!

Hey girl!! Back at ya!

It IS hard to believe how much things have changed in your past year........all for the better, right? You've done a great job, and you certainly have stepped outside your box too. It just shows what a person can do if you set goals and go for it!

Keep up the great work! Hope to see you at the viewing party this afternoon!

All the best,
Niki
