Knowlege is Power

I skipped blogging yesterday because I was a bit distracted.  I realize that I kinda missed it.  This is so much fun.  Thank you for being a part of it.

Last night, a guy at the gym was talking to us and discussing his current "plan" that he put himself on.  He only saw how his body responded to different changes in his routine both in the gym and with nutrition but he didn't seem to have any clue why.  He seemed to be just taking notes from other people and applying them willynilly to see if they worked. It cracked me up to watch Xavy's expression while listening.  What an interesting conversation!

I've quickly recognized the importance of knowing your body and how our bodies in general function.  I am learning that I need to keep learning.  I need to better my understanding for myself and so that I can help others too.  In the past few weeks,  I have had a few others come to me for some guidance with their fitness journey.  Wow, what an honor.  Me? I was floored by the thought that someone looked at me as someone able to help them.   I still forget to look in the mirror and see the progress that I have made.  Some of my body image is all still stuck in my own head but, it is something that I am working on.  But.. yea, I get it.  I guess I have been through it.  I have had to put in the work, I do know what effort it takes.  Most importantly, I know that I don't know it all.  It is for that reason that I and am constantly trying to learn more. My Google Search App gets just about as much action as Facebook does these days.

I have given it some thought and I am going to step outside my comfort zone and apply all of this knowledge.  I am going to take the Personal Training exam.  What?!?!?!  Maybe more accurately I was strong-armed by Kelly and Xavy.  Either way, I am going for it.  It really is the next logical step in this process.  My life has changed for the better.  I am a happier and healthier person then I ever was.  You can not buy this feeling.  You can only earn it.  I hope that I can help others achieve this success and this level of happiness just as my trainers have for me.

Crazy huh?
