Finally Training Again.. jiggidy jig

Back in June I applied at a very well known fitness facility for a position as a personal trainer. Upon hiring as well as during my interview (it was the same time), I informed my employer that the main reason I was applying there was for the use of the daycare center seeing as how I have two (yes, two) kids and would love to actually make a profit from working instead of working to pay for daycare outside of my job. *insert eye rolling emoji here because daycare is stupid expensive and daycare owners know they make bank* *insert another eye rolling emoji* Moving on. The employer informed me BEFORE officially offering me the job that I would be able to use the daycare facility there with no problem. So we got that out of the way. I went on to complete my "test" which was just a short training session to see if I knew what I was doing (well, duh). So afterwards I was officially offered the job. I accepted. I started the next day. Long story short, work was awesome.... for two weeks. I loved the other trainers, the clients, the facility, everything... except one person I guess didn't love me. Two weeks after I started working there, the operations manager (different than the manager who hired me yet still saw me everyday) told me I couldn't bring my kids to the daycare anymore. Apparently it was against policy? I then found out that with me being a trainer, we have different "policies". Also, apparently it's ok for other employees to bring their kids to the facility while they work, just not me... true story. So I turned in my 5 minute notice and left. It's been a couple months, but I am back to training (independently this time) and making more than $6 a session *insert shocked emoji face* im worth more than that! Highway robbery.

Told you I wasn't good at this..

I've decided..

to share what's going on in this gourd I call a head. To hit all the high points from the latest post, baby J was born and is now a year and a half (yikes, it's been a while). We moved to Virginia, I became a personal trainer (no one was expecting that right?) took the kids to Disney for the first time (I am Snow whites twinsie and totally a princess myself) and I am still horrible at keeping up with a blog. I also still have my tumblr that I am *trying* to keep up with as well. I also decided that instead of creating a new *fitness* blog here on blogger, I will combine this one and sort of tweak it a bit. I personally enjoy the old posts and how my life has changed and I think that's important for someone else who is trying to get started with fitness. Everyone starts somewhere and no one is just born with a chiseled bod and non sweaty gym workouts do not exist and my blog will prove that. I mean, you guys who have followed me for the past 6 years know that. *Insert embarrassing blushed face emoji dude thing here* Moving on... I am going to set a goal to write in my blog everyday  at least three times a week. That should be doable... my life isn't really THAT crazy.. *side eye emoji face guy* where are the emojis when ya need them?
