So Much To Tell

I feel like I have so much to tell you all that has happened over the past few years since I have been down here in North Carolina. Something exciting to mention: I started back to school. In October I enrolled in The Personal Training Institute (NPTI) in Raleigh. My good friend Alan is the owner and instructor of the school. The program is for one year, two nights a week at five hours each class. The classes consist of three hours of education, including, anatomy & physiology, bio-mechanics, nutrition, fitness programing, business, etc, and the last two hours are the practical, out on the gym floor. There are only five classmates so there is a lot of one-on-one training. I am enjoying the class and at the same time getting an excellent work out! After completion of the course I am interested in finding a rehabilitation center to use my techniques and learning experiences to help others’, maybe transplant or CF patients, to continue on a exercise regimen after their Rx for rehab is over. Working as a motivator to keep up with clients fitness (strength, endurance, flexibility, cardio-pulmonary, and body composition) to maintain their health.

You may have noticed several pictures of myself with children, those are the kids I nanny for. I watch two children from seperate families during the week. Griffin, age 3 years, is an energetic and creative little boy who loves to play soccer and go to the museum to see the dinosaur exhibit. Elle is a happy bubbly 13 month baby. I have been with her since she was two months. Our current activities include going to the park, rhyme time, and trying out new foods at meal time. So far there isn’t much she wont eat, a girl after my own heart! Both families have been so great in allowing me flexibility for medical issues and appointments.
