BHSM Celebration; Officially SFN

Hello World,

We had a great Better Hearing and Speech Month Celebration today. We didn't have as large of a turn out like we had last year, but it was extremely hot today. Well, not really, but it was the first hot day of the season. I believe this may have contributed to the lower attendance. We still had a great time. The kids had fun at the carnival, the games were so fun and the prizes were really cool. Lil Fred really had a great time. He played every game 100 times. He LOVED Elmo. The company had an Elmo costume. The person in the costume had to go back in the building every 15 minutes because it was so hot. I had to tell the attendance not to give him anymore prizes because I was thinking that he would win all of the prizes from the other kids. All four of my employees came today as well as two employees from First Steps (MS). They had more fun than the kids. The good thing is, there was no food left except for the snack bags of chips and cookies. I had a great time and I can't wait until the next BHSM celebration next year.

Before the BHSM Celebration, I went on my SIM run. I ran with the fastest runner Kathy today. She is 46 years old and a total jack rabbit. I was able to go at a 9:38 pace with her for about 5 miles, then I had to slow down and even take a 15 second walk break. She was nice enough to coach me on some techniques to help improve my endurance and she also still stayed with me after I "pooped" out. I completed the run strong. I also saw a couple of my old TNT buddies Amy and Lisa. They were just starting out as we were wrapping up. Amy has her San Diego run on June 6th. I wish her luck. She has worked so hard.

The best thing about today is that I officially received my Specialist in Fitness Nutrition Certification. Yeah! It is official. I AM A FITNESS NUTRITIONIST! What does this mean??? I don't know exactly. All I know is that I am one step closer to helping others who have suffered from compulsive eating. I am going to let it soak in for a few weeks before I take on clients. I already have a few people that I am currently creating programs for (just friends and family right now). I am really excited about this certification. After the camp, I will begin developing my website. Okay, I may write later blog. Until then...bye-bye.
