I’ve been studying hard for the ACE personal trainer certification and after a very brief search online, discovered that there are a whole heck of a lot of well paying jobs for a certified personal trainer.  I don’t have the certification yet, but I poke around every now and then to keep the motivation going.  Here’s the catch… I look weird.. as you can see from my photo I am a 30 year old (but very healthy looking) woman with over half of her head shaved and the remaining hair dyed jet black - I have multiple facial and ear piercings - I’m fairly sure I would be able to get clients as an independent trainer, as a number of "different" people seem to identify with/and or be comfortable around me, but do I stand a chance of being hired at a club as is? (I can take out the jewelry during the job, thats easy)  I’m just wondering if I should even bother to try and get a "stable" job at a club, or just independently promote myself as me and see what happens.  From what I know, a lot of "different looking" people are intimidated by "personal trainer type" people and think that they’re just too perfect to relate to - I don’t think I have that problem - there’s plenty of imperfection here on me!

At age 28 I stopped being vegetarian/vegan, and after about a year or so, noticed that I had grown 1/2" taller - I had been feeling taller lately, so I decided to take off my shoes and make a mark on the wall and measure it… sure enough, since the last time I did this I have grown ANOTHER 1/2" taller - and I’m 1 month away from being 31 years old.  Crazy stuff!!!  These days I’ve been getting the proper amount of calcium, etc. so I suppose thats the cause.  Some friends of mine claim that their husbands grew taller later in life from "drinking milk in the Army".   If I keep this up I might lose my 5′4" and under "petite" status… dunno if there’s more height in my future, but I’ll take what I can get… because there’s always platform boots…..  hahahah.

That reminds me, I SERIOUSLY need to post a new progress pic - the booty is significantly less dumpy these days.  HURRAH!!!
