Back At It

by Kathleen on July 23, 2012

It’s been over a week since I have written a post and it was kind of nice break! Between my getaway on Nantucket and then coming back to a packed week of clients, I was in la la land while on vacation and then exhausted from work and just didn’t have anything special to share. But I woke up feeling inspired and ready to get “back at it”. I also have to admit that when I did come back from Nantucket I was slightly depressed and seriously missing the ocean. That place holds such a special place in my heart. One of my goals for next summer is to be able to promote She Rocks Fitness on Nantucket, so that I can train clients who vacation there and possibly even do some beach boot camps. I think it would be great exposure for me professionally, because you never who you’ll meet. THINK BIG DREAM BIG JUST DO IT!

So what else has been going on in my life…Let’s see…Lots and lots of yoga and running! It’s what my body has been craving and I”m just going with it. You all know how much I love both of these. It’s my “alone time” as I like to say. It is also therapeutic mentally and physically. Plus, I love the way they make my body feel and look. Since Wednesday, I’ve done 4 yoga classes since Wednesday and each has been with a different teacher, so it’s been a nice variety and challenge. Wednesdays class I was able to float up into handstand (with the wall behind me of course) gracefully, because I didn’t think about it, I just DID IT! Love when that happens! 

I received this beautiful e-mail from a client this weekend and it brought a huge smile to my face! It’s so inspiring to know that I’m helping and changing people’s lives on a daily basis. I know that my clients sometimes hate me during our workouts, but they always leave smiling, sweating and of course always coming back for more.

“I’m having so much fun with you! I feel so motivated. I haven’t had this much energy in years. And I think I may even lost a pound. I have a few more to go to get to my goal weight but I love that I already feel a little tighter. My goals for the weekend are to stay active and to really control what I eat and drink. No sweets and no fried food!!”

This is what I’ve been munching on lately! Lots of Greek yogurt, fresh berries, colorful vegetables, and lots of protein! I think the pictures say it all. DELICIOUS! 

I’m also grateful for my Mom and friends the past week! My Mom because sometimes when you need to hear the real hard not so pretty truth, Mom is the one who will just say it. Usually it isn’t what I want to hear, but in the end I appreciate her honesty, because she is usually right. Gosh darn it! And my friends, because they are always there for me whether near or far. They are so supportive of my dreams and goals! I’m pumped for this week ahead! New clients, old clients, a fresh start, new blog posts, and to never give up and make these dreams COME TRUE!

Have a fabulous start to the new week! See y’all soon!

      It’s nice to take a step back from blogging. I don’t want to write because I have to… It then becomes not fun! Hope you had a great Monday!

    Awesome that you were able to throw up a handstand so gracefully. I know what you mean about not being able to do it when you overthink it! Sometimes our own brains are our biggest hurdle. Have a great day!
