Ok, you don’t have to vote for me, I won’t come kill you. There is some serious competition, but I figured "what the Hell?" so click here if you say yes to me being up for Ironman’s Fitness model competition

Anywhooooooooo.went to the gym as usual and have a "meeting" about me changing my entire life over to fitness…..yes, working in a gym!! yee hah!! this is what I have been waiting for and this is what I love. I cannot give all the details, but I was recruited for it. This is my moment to change for the better….a major step as I have been working at the same job for 8 years, but I BELONG in the gym and I can help people. Not just look better, but be healthier, feel better, live longer and turn their lives around like what happened to me. I truly believe that it’s like a rebirth for me. I know, I know………you probably think I am nuts to quit my job, but I have to follow what makes me happy. For the most part I spend my day mailing out bills and pulling charts and listening to cranky women and this is not where I want to be. Most of you have jobs like me, unfufilling. You just go through your day looking at the clock wishing it was time to punch out. Some days I wake up and while I am walking into work think "didn’t I just friggin leave here?". Its like groundhog day for petes sake!!! Change is scary, but for me, has been rewarding thus far with every move I have made in the fitness world from the moment I walked into the gym for the first time. Hard work does reap rewards and not giving up does as well. perhaps you don’t want to be as nuts as me about it, but just know that every bit of weight loss or every bit of muscle gain gets you closer to a goal…life is about goals.
I didnt get to work out except for about 20 minutes, but thats ok. I will make up for it tomorrow. I spent most of my time talking to the owner (of all the WOW gyms)…….a whole chain and he was so easy to talk to. So easy when you are talking about something you believe in really. So, I will join the WOW..Work Out World team, get my personal training certification and start moving forward…….I’m so excited!! Oh and every thing new I learn I will share with you guys and as many people as possible of course.
Oh, still haven’t moved. The residents of my rental were supposed to be out a month ago…………their closing was pushed back……my show is on saturday, my son is coming in from San Diego, I have at least 4 shoots to book and also there is a huge fight at the Casino with the US Fight League to help find sponsors for. I am working with the promoter, so even if I didnt get round card model……….I am involved because love it…….
Told ya, when one door closes, another opens………….or 6 open……….keep on believing…….don’t stop

Your story is inspirational! I’ve been workng in an industry I absolutely hate for about 10 years….I’m finally taking small steps to leave this behind. I admire people who follow their passion and not necessarily money. The only thing I’ve learned…is the more money I’ve made in this industry I can’t stand, the more I hate what I do for a living. I truly believe if you do what you love, the money will follow. Good luck in all of your endeavors..hopefully I’ll be blogging one day about following mine

Fern, Congrats on the job at Wow! Saw they’re looking for help and I hope to be working there part time so. Finally time for me to get out of the basement gym I’ve been using at work. Congrats again!
