Buffy Buffington gets Buffer

Now how do I parlay that passion into making a good living, so that I can leave my adequate, yet passionless, job as a legal assistant, in the dust?  I am not kidding.  I eat, drink and breath lifting, nutrition, nutrition, lifting…thinking about my next workout, my last workout, why that person works out like that, and that person works out like that, what book to read next, what information from that article to forget cuz it’s crap, why that person eats like that, but says they want to look like this, should I be a personal trainer, a nutritionist, I’m OLD…Ok, not really old, but pushing 42, and NOW I want to embark on an entirely different path, careerwise?!?  Am I fleeping nuts?  Off my rocker?  Could this be a passing fancy? 

You would think with my passion, that I would look like Jamie Eason, Monica Brant, or Mandy Blank, but I don’t.  Not yet, and perhaps never.  But I have a picture in my mind of my dream physique that I see almost every minute of every day.  It never goes away, it does not fade, and it doesn’t waver.

Yes, I plan to become certified as a personal trainer, but I’m not really sure I WANT to be a personal trainer.  I definitely want the knowledge.  I LOVE learning, tweaking my knowledge, applying my knowledge, tweaking again, and most of all, I love SHARING my passion, my knowledge…

Where do I go from here?  All I really know is that right now, right this minute, I have realized that this life is my passion.  It was ALWAYS my passion.  From when I was climbing trees as a 7-year-old, being picked before the boys to play pick-up football, throwing the ball harder than all the boys during dodgeball, being ALMOST voted "most athletic female" in junior high, to when my parents told me that I would not be allowed to participate in sports, because they took too much time away from "family"…it was my passion then, just as it is now.
