Trying Transition

Everyone would be doing it if it were easy. Exercising and eating healthy regularly is hard. Moving to a new place is hard. Trying to start my business in a huge, new city is hard. Life throws us many challenges and we can either step up and tackle them, or we can hide in the shadows and just try to get through. Just getting through sucks. This was my mentality with my ankle injury. I looked forward to going to sleep so I didn't have to sit and wait to heal. My determination and pride slowly deteriorated and I found myself in a state of dependence and depression.

While it is hard for me to look back at that time in my life, I feel so blessed because of what I gained from it. I now know people can't be happy all the time. People will let you down. Plans will crumble. And there is always the risk of losing something you value if you are leaning on it like it a "crutch." I used working out and relationships as my "crutch" prior to surgery. I'm so thankful God stripped me of all my comfort so that the only thing I could do was to look up!!

Now as a new and overwhelmed Atlanta resident, I will be presented with many more challenges. I have to keep setting short goals and just take it a day at a time. I'm going to work so hard at trying to be one of the best personal trainers in this area. I'm dreaming big, but trying to keep it all in perspective. My family and close friends have helped me tremendously with this transition. Their strength has kept me going and I am so thankful for them. One of my common "happy messages" I tell clients is to constantly surround yourself with people who will motivate you and build you up. My family and boyfriend have gone over and above to encourage me during this time! So here I go transitioning into the next phase of my life.

I want to reach as many people as possible, help me do that by asking for more information about my online training! I'd love to help you reach your health and fitness goals TODAY!

Always remembering God's plan is a heck of a lot better than mine!
