making things happen, yo.

so to go with my 25th year motto, jenna marie has bit the bullet and jumped. ok, not jumped, LEAPED.

WHAT DID YOU DO NOW JENNA?

i said i had to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN, didn't i? well... i took the first step. i paid for my NASM certification. woop woop! what does this mean?? well, many, many things:

• i will have absolutely no life for the next few months
• i am going to change careers within the next year
• i will soon be able to be YOUR personal trainer
• i'm scared to death but i know i am capable of doing anything in life i choose to do and i truly know this is my calling

so yeah, as for the no life thing, i sat down at starbucks the other day for FOUR hours. count 'em, F-O-U-R. i went over finances, my training schedule for the nike women's half, my work schedule, and now, my study schedule. it is going to be a very busy end of 2011 for me. but honestly, that's what i need to be, busy. it keeps me driven, motivated, and on track.

so why am i crazy enough to tell all of you this?? well, i need YOU to hold me accountable. remember around this time last year when i created this blog? (yes, go read it and refresh your memory) well, i created it because i knew that if i put myself out there, i'd be successful. i needed my friends, family, peers, to constantly ask me how i was doing to keep me on track. which is why i'm doing the same now, one year later, 50lbs lighter, i'm embarking on my next journey. i can honestly say i am so excited for what is in store for me. it's super scary, but it's a nervous, anticipated scary that motivates me even more.

what's in store for jenna in august? hmm... housesitting, 1/2 marathon training, clean eating, a trip to the beautiful SAN FRANCISCO for TRX certification, and back to work!

i'll leave you with some pics from omar & victora's wedding this past weekend.. i absolutely love my family.

ps. dancing in heels = AHmazing workout. :)
