Change of Heart

Hello fellow readers! You might be curious to know that as it continues; I am not any closer to success in my work endeavors. I have taken up a gig up as "Social Media Conversationalist" with a marketing/promotions company. What that means exactly is that I go onto facebook fan pages/twitter accounts/blogs/forums etc. and leave comments about the particular client I am working on that day. One might think that it is a decent opportunity on the path to a possible career...BUT...and this is a huge BUT..I am not quite certain social media is the route I want to continue on any longer. I am not enjoying it as I thought I would and the pay is not even worthy of speaking of.

So what is my next plan you may ask? I am having a change of heart and considering embarking into a new career field.  Realizing that one of my only true passions in life is health/fitness I am looking into the nutrition route. Not many things make me happier than working out. I love being at the gym and feeling like I am accomplishing something and I am beginning to think that perhaps my ideal job is sharing that knowledge with others. It really frustrates me when people complain about not being able to loose/gain weight or achieve their physical/health goals. As I've said before; if you are consistent, maintain a healthy diet and exercise you can really make progress. For a lot of people, finding that motivation and willpower can be difficult or near impossible.

I am into health and fitness to a large extent, granted, but that doesn't mean I don't allow myself the finer things in life every once in a while. Nothing hits the spot better than pizza, ice cream, and other things we seem to be under the impression we must life without. My ultimate goal would be to help people enjoy these treats IN MODERATION once they have learned to eat healthy and maintain a regular workout routine. It is possible to eat (almost) anything you want on occasion if you can handle it.

So I have started looking into working at gyms, health clubs or any type of nutrition companies to get my "in" in the industry. I hope to combine my communication knowledge and experience with my health/nutrition personal background and eventually become a nutritional consultant (if that's even a real career).

I have started more diverse classes at the gym I attend to even further my knowledge. Last week was spin and can I say it really did a number on my legs but it felt AMAZING! Now I do prefer regime's with a little more muscle toning but if you are looking for quick/intense calorie burning cardio it really is a work-out! It definitely was not like riding my little beach cruiser around Santa Barbara.

And today is PILATES! Wish me luck and I will keep you informed!
