Tiny Yet Mighty fitness

back to square one!
Sometimes we need to reset the clock and take a different approach, this year I told myself I would get healthy again, and this time i'm doing it MY way and in doing so I know I will treat my body better and kinder!!

Last post!!!

This is it my last post, why people may ask simple I'm no longer motivated enough to continue with the program!! I've done all I can do hopefully I can come back to it soon!!

BURNOUT

When does your body say stop? Do you listen to it? Stress often does that to someone, where you feel like you're doing okay and then BOOM!! nope, your body can't cope anymore, sadly that's what has happened to me, I am exhausted, not the oh I am tired that I am going to take a five hour sleep, its physically and mentally exhausted, it needs a few days off to re-charge to think about the next project and assignment in front of it.

Sometimes doctors will prescribe medication, sometimes doctors will tell me to "take it easy!" Well I am taking matters into my OWN hands and taking a break, a well deserved selfish break, one with good results, one where I can curl up at 2 in the afternoon and watch tv with my parents dog, one where I can take it easy for as long as I need too. One where I can go for a long walk to just "clear my head!"

I will however have an Ipad on me at all times so customers can reach me however I just need a few days to re-charge my batteries and figure out what's next for me!!

Fingers crossed!!

Hello All!!
I am sorry to be the one to say this but the reason i've been so absent in the last month is due to a ton of stress. I'm not one to post my problems or issues on Facebook EVER lessons learned from the past. However, since you are all my friends I thought i better come clean. Jason (my boyfriend) and I have had a slew of health issues this month. For starters it started with him missing a month of work and from their it snowballed. This month has been the worst month of my life, never once had i felt helpless and confused all in one month, We found out what's wrong, with orthodontics we're hoping we've corrected the torn tendon in his foot, if not, he will have to go in for surgery and this will require him to be off work for two or more months!! Therefore, my duties as a coach has slacked greatly, from not taking proper care of myself, to not sending out invites. I have also not been their for my health bet team either. For those reasons i am truly sorry and will work hard next month to push forward. We are hoping all this stress is behind us and September will be a better month for both of us; both me with the business, my health, and goals and Jason. Sorry i wasn't there for everyone this month!!
Love you all! Laura Lyn

Family

Today i write this thinking about various members of my family; some i remember others i have a small fog of memory of. It's quite sad to be honest. My one grandmother passed away when i was six, do you think i could remember everything about her? The answer is sadly no, i do remember her giving me a half of a grapefruit and telling me to add as much sugar as i wanted to as it was super sour. Another grandmother i do remember however she passed away when i was 19 years old, she was older than i imagined her to be. Sadly, her memories were robbed from a disease called Alzheimer's. She and i were super close, the best memories from her were going to the trailer park she shared with my grandfather, her hugs, her smile, and her ability to say the alphabet backwards and forwards. Sadly, one day the Alzheimer's took that fun loving grandma into a woman who didn't know who i or who she was. However, i always gave her a smile and a hug even when she herself didn't know who i was.

My two grandfathers; both different in their own way, one who fought cancer and took my sister and i to the candy store and spent $10 on each of us as it was "in the grandfather handbook" the other, who loved Louis Armstrong, Nana Mausouri (sp)? and called me Dolly and had the twinkle in his eye when he said it.

An aunt who sadly never saw me turn into the woman i am today; or see me get married, divorced and find my one true love. However, i know is always happy to know i am happy with my life no matter how crazy it is, and a cousin, who passed away a day before my birthday, but told me to go to a summer camp and meet my best friend, and have a great time!!

Each of these people still bring the odd tear to my eye, and a sniffle, but i love them unconditionally. Their date of passing into the next world, has never been forgotten from my mind and i stop. pause and tell them how much i love them, and miss them so they know they are NOT forgotten.

I am slowly thinking about where life leads us, and sometimes its good and for the greater good, and other days i have my moments of sad reflection but know i will see them again at the big party!! I love you all xo until i see you again. xo Laura.

PROMISES

We make promises everyday, to ourselves, to our spouse or partner and to our children. I have dated a young man and he and i made a promise to always look after each other and love each other no matter what life throws at us. After i was married to my ex- husband he and i made those same promises. ones that would only be broken after almost two years of marriage, however with the new man in my life we make promises everyday to each other and we mean them.

We are always there for each other no matter what and love each other unconditionally.

Career change?

So i have decide after much thought to switch careers. i am 32 years old so i figured i'm not 70 (yet) and a career change maybe what gets me excited again, aside from the early mornings (a cup of coffee can cure that) i have decided on going back to school to become a personal trainer, so perhaps that's what i'll do, i will still work as a personal support worker until this takes off!!

Things that irk me!!
So today i was at the Can Fit Pro event, and waiting politely to meet my idol, Jillian Micheals, when people started running for her, i was polite and waiting my turn, but nope no autograph, strike one. Strike two came when the dorks that are her handlers decided when they should stop the meet and greet, hey wait a second, isn't she suppose to sign for most people?? Hmm, so i guess i won't get her autograph after all. Tomorrow i will be a little more tough and try harder for shaun T. Tommy Europe and Tony Horton!!
