Moving Forward

I am really excited that in exactly three months, I will be a certified sports nutritionist and a coach for training the elderly with international accreditation. Not only will these certificates enrich my knowledge, they will also boost my credibility in the fitness industry. The way I see it, you can never have too many certifications!

Although I’m normally very careful when I travel and still try to train as much as possible, this trip called for a series of celebrations. My amazing boyfriend proposed to me on a rowboat in Central Park and we are now engaged. The day after that, we celebrated my fiancé’s birthday. A few days later we attended a wedding ceremony.

Sore Today, Strong Tomorrow

I’ve been following my new diet and training program for a week now and for the last few days I have been extremely sore. I have been lifting incredibly heavy and have ache all over my entire body.
