Broken



Why is it that the thing I love most is breaking?

It doesn't have to be this way

and it hurts.


.....................but one of my biggest strengths comes to the rescue: ADAPTABILITY

I am very adaptable and can adapt to changes around me well. This has been great in my career and even life.


But I shouldn't have to ADAPT this time


I have been thought of as having thick skin, being UNemotional and, "made of rubber". I don't know if this is a strength..............in fact it might be a WEAKNESS. Instead of facing the pain head on, I adapt quickly, don't sulk and groan about it, but get past the HURT stage fast and move on.

But just because I have tough skin, doesn't mean things don't actually hurt, doesn't mean that I don't actually have feelings.

I realize no details are being shared.......................I'm not ready to talk about it.


A lot of people can't seem to function when they are hurting................................but with me it's the opposite. I work harder, and perhaps that is because it is a distraction. I forget about anything bad going on.

I've been busier than ever lately. Not that I need to work more, but somehow I just haven't been able to say NO to all the work coming my way. I've picked up extra classes, extra clients, and perhaps it is just that time of the year............but I have been doing tons of Photog sessions. I love staying busy, but need to learn to say "NO" when there is no time left for my family.



------quick change of subject-------




I havent' posted any of my latest reads lately because I just haven't had time to read. But I did go see the HUNGER GAMES and loved it. Many people are disappointed when they see a movie after reading the book first. But I felt the movie did the book justice. Everything was just as I pictured it and I can't wait for Fall 2013 for the next release.


I am loving the new BODYPUMP release. Everytime we get a new release my metabolism shoots through the roof. It's proof that you have to shock your body, keep it guessing and in the adaptation stage. I love feeling strong. Tomorrow I am getting Silver Sneakers certified..................which won't really be about me, but my participants, however it will be nice to get more education for this population.


I just celebrated my 10 year anniversary working at 24 Hour Fitness. I've had a great career from Personal Training to Club Management to Group Exercise. I'm so happy I was in the right places at the right times.

eat, eat, eat, Easter

Tay eats all day long, she loves to snack. If she sees food, it is quickly in her mouth.  I tried to get a few pics without food in her mouth and got a couple.  Easter morning she went straight for the candy and the girls searched for their Easter Eggs (Tay with a sucker in her mouth the whole time)




If Tay didn't have food in her mouth, she was searching for something to eat elsewhere

 She stopped eating just long enough to get a shot with all the Lytle cousins at Grammy Roberts house. They love their cousins so much.

 "Mom, Open this egg so I can get more candy in my mouth"


Ryan's beautiful Grandma has had a tradition of hand painting easter tins for all the kids and grandkids. She stopped doing it a little while ago, but somehow she was able to get 2 more done for my girls. I am so excited to have these. Gramma Carol is soooo talented and I'm happy my girls get to enjoy her talents.
