Fabulous Opportunity Thrown My Way

Life is good! 

As some of you may know, and others may not, I am so very interested in fitness and nutrition. In fact, I have plans to go back to school to become a registered dietician.  I have been trying to get into teaching group exercise classes for awhile now, but with no luck.  

Then, one day after my honeymoon I was the Group Exercise Coordinator at my gym (YMCA).  I never run into her because I am always there in evening and she is during the day.  Well, since school is out I was working out in the afternoon.  I went up to her, introduced myself and asked her about any positions to teach Group Exercise (Group X); she had me fill out an application on the spot.  Well, after a few weeks of constant communication with the Group X Coordinator, I had an interview yesterday and was hired on the spot!  I am so pumped.  I will be teaching a strength and endurance class, interval class, and a class for young girls that also contains a nutrition component.  

Although this job will only be 4 hours a week; this job is all about opportunity.  I am hoping that this job will just open doors for my future.  I love fitness, I love nutrition, and childhood obesity is a strong interest of mine and such a sad epidemic in our country.  I can't wait to see where this opportunity takes me.  I am excited to get going, and to meet other people who are interested in the same things as me.  

One other exciting thing about this job- my supervisor, the Group X coordinator is awesome! She, like me, is  so enthralled by Tosca Reno and the Eat Clean Diet.  We talked about it in our interview for about 30 minutes; I was pumped!  She also has done fitness competitions, and was talking to me about doing one as well.  That is something I have thought about before; maybe I will do one some day.... but after my full marathon, of course! :)

Life is good!
