I have been doing a lot of soul searching recently. I have been thinking about what I will do when the kids are older and don’t need me at home as much as they do now. I used to be in property management and while I liked what I did, I want something a little more flexible, so I can be available if the kids need me. Family first, right?
I have blogging and writing for Celiac-Diease.com, Gluten Freely and the Examiner, but I am thinking about something in addition to those things. I write because I feel like the things I write about are things that I need to share with you all. If I can help just one person, I feel like what I have done is worth it.
That line of thinking led me to ask myself what I like to do – what is my passion? I like to run. I like to exercise. Fitness is my passion. So, what better goal to pursue, than to be a personal trainer?
I enrolled last week with the NASM to get my CPT certification! I have already started studying and hope to be certified by summer. I haven’t decided exactly how I am going to use this certification yet. The possibilities are really endless. What I do know is this: I am passionate about my training and can’t wait to help others feel the same way about their training.
Wish me luck!
Kim
My son and me, November 2000. This is before we were gluten-free/diagnosed Celiac.
Good luck!
Thanks, Sarah!
Oh yeah! This is SO exciting, Kim…. what a great new adventure, and what a perfect fit for you. Best of luck to you on this new journey. Keep us updated with how it's going.
Thanks! I am so excited!
THAT is awesome!! I would love to do that someday too! Good luck!! I can't wait to hear all about it.
Thank you! I can't wait to get through the studying & get to work!
Awesome, Kim! It sounds perfect for you. I know I'd hire you! An wish I could since my personal trainer recently moved away.
I am still working in my current profession, so I haven't made any formal announcements yet about my changes.
I have also been doing some soul searching and am planning on returning to school here soon. I have been talking to Amy Jones, if that is any indication as to where I am headed…
Congratulations to you! I look forward to hearing about your successes!

I'm sooooo excited for you! You have such a way with people. You've been an incredible inspiration to me. Cheering for you, my friend! And another thing…my children are 30, 27, and 20. It happens before you know it.
Thanks Julie! Yes, they grow up too fast!
That is so exciting! I am a little jealous! My passion is fitness too and I am really thinking the same thing!! Good luck with it all! I'd love to hear how it goes!
Thank you, Laurie!
There must be something in the water! I am getting ready to make a big life change on Wednesday (put the wheels in motion) and I am so stressed!
I can't wait to hear about your big life change! I'll have to go see if you posted about it!
