And so begins a new chapter in our lives... As a training team, we had to make a decision that best promoted our business and allowed us to meet the needs of our clients. Friday was David's last day working on the farm. His new job offers the flexibility to meet with clients at times more convenient for them, not what is convenient for us. Thankfully, this chick starts summer hours tomorrow...because for the first month, guess who has to take over the morning classes at 6 AM? Yep - me!! I am NOT a morning person, but I am definitely looking forward to challenging a new group of individuals to meet their health and fitness goals. Along with this change in routine, comes a new challenge for me - a guys only class! This class consists of guys who are more than twice my size and thrive on handing their hineys handed to them on a daily basis. I have no problem kicking someone's behind..just call me Drill Sargeant!
Along with the change in routine for us, it is my hope to test and review the different supplements and feel comfortable in recommending products that work to our clients. First up, will be GNC's GenetixHD brand.
I've used all three products and love them, but have not had the opportunity to follow the recommendations for optimal success. Simply using them occasionally, I was able to experience everything the products advertised: maximized calorie burn, prolonged satiety, increased energy, and noticeably sculpted muscle tone, without some of the nasty side effects commonly found in many supplements. Having found succes in using the three base products - Physio-Burn, Pro-Sculpt, and Meta-Ignite, I am super pumped to try out the new GenetixHD product Iso-Define. Boasting an ultra clean formula, with ZEROArtificial Sweeteners, Artificial Colors, Cholesterol or Fillers, I am excited to try this product as soon as it hits my local store!

Goals?
Okay, so I'm a list maker. I have lists of what I need to get done and by when, I have lists of things to get from the store, I have lists in my calendar...and most of the time I forget these lists. It never fails. My goal over the next few weeks is to review some of the products that have helped me on my fitness journey. This, of course, all depends on my ability to survive my daughter's high school graduation and keep my sanity! The past 18 years have flown by, faster than any mother could dream. And although we each have our own goals in life, as a parent, we have those goals for our children as well. My youngest will be a running back for the Chicago Bears, my middle daughter will be a doctor (probably something dealing with skin or something gross like toenails or fungus!) and I always thought my oldest would be a teacher. Now, over the past few months, I've come to the realization that if she ends up living her dream, I will be happy. A few weeks ago, she informed me that her destiny was to work at Bath and Body forever. Of course, she was informed that was not an option. She is a licensed CNA and why in the world would she want to take a pay cut?!?! "Because I'll smell good all the time!" I suppose that could be a perk, but is it realistic?
Over the last few weeks, I've had more than plenty time to reflect on our relationship, the trials and tribulations. We're so much alike that we often times butt heads...and that would be putting it mildly! Of course we have the similar physical characteristics - we're often time confused as sisters instead of mother and daughter - which is A-OK in my book!! But we also have a ton of fun confusing others by answering each others' phones - rumor on the street is we sound identical...Words of wisdom - be very careful in what you say if you call one of us...especially if you are wanting to share a secret :)
In my reflection time, I've come to the realization that no matter how many lists one makes, in the end those lists are only a guide. You can follow those lists by the letter, but in my experience, I have found that straying from those lists once in a while, opens the doors to new opportunities and adventures. Heck, if I would have followed my list to a T - I would not be guiding others in their health and fitness journey, which I have come to love and enjoy! So in the randomness of life, it is important to remember that it is okay to stray from the infamous lists and goals, as long as you let them guide you in a positive direction. But even then, my lists will not refrain me from reminding Kait that she needs to keep to her lists - especially in making sure her college work gets done, and she comes home to visit mom every other weekend! Of course, I have plenty of time - August is a long ways away - right?
