Busy, Busy, Busy

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted anything. But, no big deal, this is my blog and I can do whatever I want, right?

Things in the Conway house have been crazy busy. I'm fully pursuing a new career and Justin is contemplating a change. Since I've already embarked on my journey, I'll focus on mine and give him some more time to figure his opportunity out. :)

For the past two weeks, I've been diligently studying and taking quizzes for my Fitness Nutrition Specialist certification. This is the first step toward becoming a wellness coach! Wellness coaching is the career that I identified through the life coaching process I just completed. Basically, a wellness coach motivates and supports people as they work toward their health & fitness goals. In order to become a wellness coach, I need some sort of nutrition education (in progress), will become a certified personal trainer (June) and then begin the wellness coaching training program (begins in July). The wellness coaching training program runs through October, and then I'll be able to take an exam to become a certified coach.

As a wellness coach, I can either work for myself or for a health club. As a part of my research about the career, I found out that my gym is starting a pilot wellness coaching program this summer and I hope to be involved. I am told that as soon as I have a personal training certification, I can be employed at a club.

I am anticipating God to bring some great things my way this summer, but for this month and the next, I'll be super busy studying. Right now, I am knee-deep in the science part of nutrition-- cells, how the body digests food, how we make energy. It's all fascinating, but I'm definitely having to concentrate. I better run now-- Unit 4 awaits. :)
