Practice, Practice, Practice

I signed up for a PIYO challenge pack back in July 2014. I had so many doubts about starting this program! I HATE YOGA and I've never been a fan of Pilates. I hemmed and hawed for quite a while and then just jumped into it.

I FELL IN LOVE!! I absolutely love PiYo! Since starting the program in July, I have looked forward to whatever workout was on the calendar each day! It has been my stress reliever and a way to build my strength and flexibility! It has even improved my running!  I feel like I have been able to recover faster from long runs because my leg muscles have more strength and flexibility.  I love to use it after for the awesome stretch you get!

I never thought I would love this program so much or look forward to it each day!  I have never found a program that makes me feel so good about myself and has started to tighten up my awful mom belly!

I love this program so much that when my best friend Jill suggested we get PiYo certified, there was no hesitation!  I love this program so much that I want to share it with others! I want to build the confidence of those who are taking my classes by showing them the versatility of this program.  I want to be the one cheering them on in class and keeping them motivated to keep trying and to push themselves just a little further!

I have been spending a great deal of time practicing after the training day!  I even had a demo on Monday January 19 with SOL Fitness and Personal training!!  I was so nervous!!!  It was nothing though!  Both the owner and another instructor loved it!!  I love Connie at SOL!  She is fun and bubbly and just an awesome person who wants to help others with their fitness.  She's also a runner so that makes her that much cooler!!!  The demo was awesome and I will be teaching 2 free classes next week!!!  Sunday January 25 @ 10 am and Wednesday January 28 @ 6 pm!!!  I am so excited!!  I cannot wait to show others my love for PiYo!!  It's going to be so awesome!!



I had to go to a presentation on Maddie's Kindergarten reading program and while I was waiting for it to start, I checked my email and my certificate was there!!  I am so excited that I am OFFICIALLY an PiYo Instructor!!  

So if you are interested in trying PiYo, come out and see me next week!!!  You won't be disappointed!!!  

As always, Be Strong, You Never Know Who You Are Inspiring!!!

Run and PiYo on !!!

When Life Throws You Lemons--My Comeback

I know I haven't’ been the best blogger as of late.  Honestly, I haven’t felt like sharing much of what I’ve been going through the past year.  Maybe I felt ashamed for struggling so much and wanted to continue to give off the persona that everything was perfect.  I’m not perfect. Far from it. But that’s what makes me real and human. I think that’s what people want to see and read about.  Not everyone is a fitness model or perfect wife and mother. So here it is! My comeback to blogging. It’s going to be real and raw and everything I’ve kept inside.   Last year when we returned from our Disney vacation (June 2017), I started back into training for my 3rd Madison Marathon.  I wanted a PR so badly for this race. I wanted so badly to be under 5 hours. My training sucked! With EJ starting peewee football and my class load at work (I’ll get into that later), every time I thought about this race, I dreaded it.  Honestly, I was falling more and mo...

Spring Break Fun!!!

Spring Break was sure fun and interesting!!  Carpet cleaning, a trip to Ikea, egg coloring, Easter Egg Scramble, and all the fun of Easter morning have made this a memorable spring break for sure. I have truly loved being home with my kiddos but there were times, especially Sunday afternoon after too much Easter candy, that I was definitely ready to head back to work and for them to head back to school. Monday was the only day my hubby had to work as he took vacation the rest of the week.  So the kids and I did some random stuff around the house and ran some errands.  Maddie went to Menards to pick out paint for her desk so she could paint it with Poppa.  While they were doing that, I took EJ to get his haircut and then to Shopko to get some totes for under the bed storage, the kids’ projects and their photo albums.  I have recently switched from using photo albums to using photo boxes.  You can fit in so many more photos and still have the ability to wr...

2 Weeks of March Reflections

Well it’s been an interesting start to March.  I apologize for no blog last week.  It was a stressful week for me and didn’t have anything positive to say so I knew that would be reflected in my blog.  And that’s not how I want my blog to come across.   So let me recap what happened that first week of March.  The week started out just fine until I decided to check on the status of my license renewal through DPI.  Because I have 2 licenses; one as a teacher and one as a reading specialist, I had to renew both of them.  Well my teaching license is fine and will most likely be approved and renewed based on my teaching experience and my PDP (professional development plan).  My reading specialist license is another story.  It is not being approved right now as I didn’t complete the correct PDP as DPI classifies reading specialist as an administrative license.  I knew this, I just didn’t realize that my PDP would be any different.  I ...
