Health knowledge made personal
 That's me, after my first half-marathon ever! But, there IS reason to celebrate. In the last couple of years, healthy eating choices and exercise have changed my life . No one can take that away from me. I am the happiest and healthiest I have ever been. And then there is this wonderful relationship I have with my personal trainer, Taj Harris , from Crunch Fitness . For as much as I tell her I hate her, (she inflicts too much pain!) she won't go away. She is one of the most incredible people I know, and she knows a whole lot about fitness. And while I am no pro, Taj tells me that losing 62 lbs. makes me some kind of real-life expert. I don't know about that, but we both like fitness, and we like each other, so we'll be collaborating together on some cool workouts and other fitness-related stuff. You'll be hearing from her quite often! In terms of my personal fitness, I recently ran a half-marathon, so I've been running pretty regularly for the last few months. I have to admit though, that since the race, I have not run once. (It's been 10 days or so.) I don't want to lose my knack for running, so I plan on lacing up my sneakers again real soon! But I also feel like running alone can get a little boring sometimes. I need a new set of goals. Here are a few: 1. To participate in my first ever triathlon! (I'm thinking Iron Girl in California, this summer?) This means I must: a. Get a membership at my local pool. I don't know how to swim, (yes, you read that right!) and I need to learn, pronto. b. Ride bike more often. (And maybe figure out if I need to be riding a specific bike?) c. Keep running. 2. To fix my fitness room. I own a treadmill and some decent fitness equipment, but it's all a jumbled mess. The last thing I want to do when I walk into that room is workout! 3. To get certified to be a personal trainer. This is a DREAM really, but I want it! Do you think I can do it? I hope so! How about you? Do you have any new fitness goals or dreams? |
