NEWS and Cha, Cha, Cha Changes!!!

Well, it has been an interesting week!  I can honestly say that I feel really good about the decision I have recently made.  

So ... this may come as a surprise to all or most of you, but on Monday July 28th, I have resigned as the Group Fitness and Personal Training Manager at my gym.  This has been something I have been thinking about for quite some time and now feel that the timing is right.

I am needing to do what is best for me and my family and make fitness my own again.  I will still be employed at the club, subbing group fitness classes when I am available and potentially still offering small group classes.  My official last day in my current role won't be until August 31st, but I am needing to take this step and am excited for life's next adventure,  whatever that may be!!   

It has been such a hard decision to make and I will miss seeing all of my peeps that have been so supportive over the last 7 years.  They have been through so much with me as I have been with all of them, but this is what's best.  Change IS good  and I will still be around, just in a different capacity :-).    

With that being said, I have started my job/career search.  I am being selective as to what I want to do and where I want to go.  As when we work, whether it be in the home or outside of the home, we spend most of our waking hours with our work family ... Where I land and make my work home, needs to be the right fit for me and for the company I am connected with.  I am not looking to work at a gym, but potentially some other part of the fitness industry or would love something completely different too. 

I AM looking for full-time or close to full-time employment.  I have a BA in Communications/Media and was a residential and commercial closing officer for about 15 years (hard to imagine me not in athletic wear right?), have also been in inside sales, customer service and in banking for a short while.  So, if you are looking or know of anyone that is looking for an outgoing, positive, well rounded, versatile and dedicated employee, please don't hesitate to send me a message and I will gladly shoot a out a resume. 

As far as the November marathon goes ... I have made the decision to step down to the half marathon. It's the best choice at this time and one that I am happy about.  Next year is the year for the half ironman (maybe even 2). And who knows, maybe in 2016, ironman number 3 will be on the schedule ... The proverbial seed has been planted ;-). 

Both my family and I are so excited and looking forward to this new chapter in life and would love it if you would all stay along for the ride!!!  Hope you've had a wonderful week ahead and I'll be back next weekend with another piece to add.    Enjoy the night and remember that life is good. Enjoy it, love it and be kind to one another.
