I love doing exercise to music, it makes it fun. I never looked into it much because I thought people would laugh because I'm an RN, so why would I want to be a fitness instructor, but I continue to think about it. I now have 2 children, with baby number three due in August, and most days I think "I'll never be able to become an instructor, when would I have the time" but with your encouragement maybe there is no better time than now. I'll look into it. Keep us informed as to how it is going.Beckynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456212584015936729.post-90676047947983025832009-03-11T11:23:00.000-05:002009-03-11T11:23:00.000-05:00You need to go for certification!!!I use to be obe...You need to go for certification!!!<BR/><BR/>I use to be obese. I lost my weight on my own, but have gained some of it back due to two really bad car accidents (rear ended in school zones...TWICE in four months!). The accidents left me unable to exercise for a good while. I also had memory lapses and black outs. I'd eat and an hour later forget that I'd eaten and eat again (I started writing it down when I ate so I'd not eat again). I'm getting it off slowly now. But that's okay, it's coming off.<BR/><BR/>When I lost weight the first time I did a lot of heavy work outs (3-5 miles running a day, a martial arts class where I was the ONLY woman). I also did Yoga. By the time I reached my goal, I was helping the Yoga instructor and she would have me lead when she was ill.<BR/><BR/>Since I'm still recovering from my accidents, I can't do the hard work outs anymore, so Yoga is very important! I've turned it into a Christian moving meditation and prayer time. I'm really hoping that somewhere along the way I'll be given the oppurtunity to lead a Christian based Yoga class. <BR/><BR/>I just presented your program to our minister for our church to consider. He is familiar with it. I'm hoping to start one when our church starts our new semester.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155632079638879445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456212584015936729.post-10676156289443881532009-03-04T05:30:00.000-06:002009-03-04T05:30:00.000-06:00Erin,here is a resolution that turned into a reali...Erin,here is a resolution that turned into a reality for me, keep going on yours!!<BR/>Yesterday, I achieved a personal best. I walked in the Rodeo Run/Walk with two of my fellow class members; Melinda and Marissa. It was a 5K --3.1 miles. One of my session goals is to walk 3 miles by the end of March. I wasn 't sure I would make it but together we did. Not only did I make it; I pushed my self to go faster. I was afraid it would hurt my knees because of an injury. But I am fine. Now when I say I, it was much more than that. I achieved my personal best because of the balance process in FP4H. Spiritually, I have spent time with God and His encouragement and strength are a part of me; Mentally, God's word has taught me that I am His temple and He wants His temple fit and I can do all things through Him; Emotionally, I am connected to my sisters in Christ and they have encouraged me gently to get this done for the last two years! Thank you Ladies. Physically, I realize now I can do it and it has been a step by step process involving the three other areas of balance. All working together now, I believe I will roll along much easier. A part of me still wonders if I will quit because I always do. But another part of me realizes I am more connected than ever; and that connection is God-focused; His way. His word is falling on good soil now and will take root and result in more fruit than I ever imagined. It is all for Him to show His love and power in my life and it is not just for me, it is for anyone who seeks Him First!truej.o.y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03262462794714801922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456212584015936729.post-3356771525480289072009-01-16T13:12:00.000-06:002009-01-16T13:12:00.000-06:00Erin, you can do it!

Thanks for sharing, and I can't wait to hear all the updates and the victory you experience in becoming an instructor; keep us posted!<BR/><BR/>You inspire me... I wanted to become certified when I was leading my First Place group back in Milton, Florida (2003/2004)... the timing wasn't right for me, but I was totally blessed with a great group (men and women) and I had a blast with the First Place studies during that season of my life. I'm in Texas now and miss my Florida "First Place" friends. <BR/><BR/>Have a great week. Everyday with Jesus~ keeping Him First Place!<BR/><BR/>~Teriteri-free2bmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00461262003453141215noreply@blogger.com
