Hi lovelies! How are you all? Just wanted to share with you a little bit about what’s being going on with me, since I haven’t been posting much lately. Sawwy! : /
First of all, the biggest transition has been to focus on my business. The pace of life now, ironically, is much more relaxed. I don’t have the crazy commuting anymore, and must be mindful and deliberate about the choices I make.
As always, I have been keeping my head in the books. My most recent book has been the textbook for the CISSN certification (to be a sports nutritionist). I love nutrition and I think it is hugely significant in accomplishing physique goals, and I hate saying “I am a certified personal trainer but I’m not a certified nutritionist…” blah blah blah as a caveat to my recommendations. I WANT to say “I am a certified personal trainer AND a certified nutritionist.” Hence, my studying. The textbook is MAJORLY scientific, though…puts me to sleep! 😉 I definitely feel much more comfortable reading exercise physiology texts.
Last Saturday I did one of the FUNNEST THINGS IN SOOO LONG!! I totally LOVE trampolines! When I first met my boyfriend (dating at the time), one of our dates was to this trampoline WONDERLAND in Santa Clara. It’s a HUGE warehouse full of trampolines! This place is truly incredible. I was in heaven. I bounced my heart out for an hour, doing all these tricks and flips, and left with a heaving chest, nastily drenched clothes, and an ear-to-ear smile. Sadly, not long after that is when I tore my ACL and all my “fun” ended. I never went back, as it has been a long road to recovery. Within the last 6 weeks, my knee has finally gotten to the point where I can take hikes and my knee is not bothered. I took this as a sign that my knee is fine and asked my bf for us to go jump on the trampolinness!!! He kept on saying no 🙁 He said I wasn’t ready. Finally, last Saturday, he suggested we go. My eyes LIT UP and I started squeeling with excitement yeeaahhhh. And we went and it was a BLAST to jump and jump to our heart’s content. Here is an awesome picture as he soars into the foam pit 🙂
Then, on SUNDAY, he suggested we kick around the soccer ball. Now this is a REAL test, as I would have to be running on grass and cutting/changing directions quickly. This is a true challenge for the ACL because it involves an unpredictable surface as well as quick changes in direction, requiring stabilization in multiple plans of motion, rapidly accelerating and decelerating. And…the verdict?..My knee held up!!! I didn’t give 100% because psychologically I was scared, but I gave about 80% and it felt GREAT to be darting around the field, FINALLY!! August will be two years since it happened.
So, that’s some of what is going on with me. I am in such transition right now! With my career, with my body…and correspondingly, with my heart. Working on a lot of things right now. And I am sorry I haven’t posted more regularly, it’s terrible! If any of you lovely fellow bloggers would like to guest post to add a little spice to my blog, I would be happy to consider your posts!! Just send them to Kristina@FreestyleFitnessAddiction.com.
Well, kiddies…I guess that’s it for now. Lots of love and healthy, positive energy to you all <3 <3 <3
