Piece of Pizza or Peace of Mind? (pt. I)

Last night I received the following text message from my husband and baby Daddy, Ish. The text message simply asked "Do you wanna pick up something to eat or do you want me to order something?" This message was sent to me at 7:41 pm. However, by the time I finished teaching my last class and then wrapping up a client personal training session it was 8:45pm. I noticed the time and then I panicked! I knew since I did not respond to his text that Ish got take out. I also knew I would be going home hungry after my workout. Not good, so off to the gym I went arriving about 9:00pm. My gym partner in crime I'll call her "R.D." met me in the lobby and we proceeded to make a lose plan of attack. I told her we should both do endurance training for 40 minutes and then meet by the free weights for strength training. We did that and by the time we wrapped up everything with an awesome ab burn and stretch it was 11:00pm and I was starving! At home, I knew there could possibly be a smorgasbord of fast food awaiting my arrival. Could Ish have ordered a greasy quart of Chinese rice, or maybe some cheese whiz cheese steaks, could it possibly be Popeye's or KFC, both of which are two of his favorite "restaurants" (as he calls them). Whatever it was I was going to be ready. I planned to go home and march right upstairs without even a glance towards the kitchen. Yeah that's it... that'll work.  I  arrived home after my two hour workout with R.D. and there it was... a 16' pepperoni pizza innocently sitting there on the dining room table. It looked like it had made itself at home waiting for me, on the table without any regard for me having to lose 20 lbs by the end of March.  Now I don't normally eat cold pizza or even pepperoni pizza for that matter it was just the notion of it being available for immediate consumption that was watering my palate. I mean it was cold for goodness sake why would I want cold pizza??? There was however a solution for that...the toaster oven! The toaster oven is quick and it heats things up crisp. Plus, no one would know...not even R.D. I don't have to tell her. In fact, I just worked out for two hours and I'm officially starting  my nutritional plan next Sunday AND this is just a prep week. This could be my last slice of pizza for awhile. I had to think quick for I had a decision to make... should I choose a piece of pizza or a peace of mind??? End of Part I...

Taking a Bite out of the Big Apple!

Taking a Bite out of the Big Apple!

Okay so here's the deal I am 35 years young/old, I recently got laid off from a job that I loved (Wellness Director), and I am without any income (including unemployment; I didn't qualify for it). Although I think I am an awesome fitness trainer I don't have as much business as I would like (darn economy!) So now I am biting the big apple or at least trying to. I am trying to get signed to a New York modeling/talent agency to do commercials and small acting parts. I have always had an acting bug and I actually spent a few years reaching for the stars in my early 20's. Now I am trying to mix fitness and acting. I have my second go-see tomorrow. Hey maybe it will be my lucky break and I'll get discovered! Maybe I'll get cast on the next infomercial for the latest abdominal fat blasting product, or maybe I'll be in the next Bally's fitness commerical dancing around in tight short shorts, or maybe just maybe I'll be cast as the next Jillian Michaels in a Biggest Loser type show!

Who knows? The sky is truly the limit!

I'll keep you posted BTW, email me if you are hiring!!!!
