This month really has been great. Right from April 1st, thing started to turn around and have gotten better and better week by week! I'm so happy with it all!
I'm so happy with the fitness training. Things with that are going SO well. I'm really having fun with it and I know I'm where I need to be and doing what I'm meant to do. Took me a really long time to get here but I finally have and I'm loving it!
Tonight I started another session of the Couch to 5K. I can't believe that this is the 6th time I am doing this! SIX TIMES!! Tonight there were about 30 of us at the track and everyone did so amazing! It was really cool to see. I can't wait until Wednesday to keep it going.
My kickboxing gym is having a contest for referrals. I was trying to win the $100-500 in prizes they are giving away for that location. BUT... I'm literally in 1st place NATIONALLY for the referral contest! That's $2500 for the grand prize!! I can't even believe it! I could serious win $3000. The contest ends in a week and I can't wait. I'm bugging EVERYONE on my Facebook page, my fitness group's Facebook page, my fitness group in general and my friends, family and co-workers!!
Even the weather is cooperating! Other than yesterday and today, the weather has been incredible in April. I think we are going to have a great summer with plenty of beach days. :)
What else?? Things with my boyfriend are better than ever. I'm happier than I have ever been with him. Things in every way have been so great. Even with his DOG! LOL!
Friday night is another night with my friends. We are going to a fund raising party for our friend doing the Avon Breast Cancer 2 day walk. It should be a lot of fun! Saturday night is another fund raising party, this one with my boyfriend for his friend who has ALS. That one will be a little interesting, but I know it will be fine being there with my boyfriend for the night.
Life is just really good right now and I'm really happy enjoying this ride!

Spring has Sprung
Maybe it was just the 1st quarter of 2012 that was the bad part. Since April started, things have started to turn around. I'm hopefully that they will continue on a good path like this.
My kickboxing class is amazing. I really wish I could go more often! It is just SO much fun. I can feel such a difference when I go. Tonight was an amazing workout! I'm not sure if I will be able to lift my arms in the morning, but tonight it was a BLAST!
Things with my fitness training are going great too. My classes have been going really well and I'm getting great feedback from people. The more I teach, the more comfortable I have become with it. I'm waiting to hear back about getting the permit I want for an outdoor bootcamp and I have a possibility of teaching morning classes at another gym as well. It's all just falling into place.
My full time job is going well too. Things have been steady, I'm getting great feedback there from the powers that be and I may be getting some additional responsibilities coming my way as well. I would love that! The change would be nice and it is in an area I would love to start focusing on. The knowledge I would gain could translate into so many other areas for me.
Things with my boyfriend are going really great too. Where we are at right now is better than it has been at any other point in our relationship. I am so happy with him and love him so much. He's a great person. We have a really great relationship. I have never laughed that much with anyone else. I have so much fun with him and have never felt more myself with anyone ever. He gives me the space to be myself without any fear or worry about anything.
I know I'm lucky with all of the great people I have in my life. It has taken me a really long time to get where I am. I have amazing friends and people around me, supporting me in so many ways. And I am so grateful for everything.
This weekend is going to be SO much fun! After work tomorrow, a quick shower, then I'm heading over to my boyfriends house. We'll head out for dinner but need to get back to his house before 10. A friend of his from his MMA gym is fighting tomorrow night on Ultimate Fighter, so we'll have to watch that fight.
Saturday morning I'll be up early and I'm meeting a friend of mine at a new gym I have a 1 month membership to. We are taking the 8am Body Conditioning class then the 9am Zumba class. I'll head home after that, get a few things done at home, shower and get ready. A friend of mine and her husband live over an hour from me but they are looking at a puppy about 5 or 6 miles from my house. So I'm meeting them for lunch at noon before their 1pm appointment. It will be fun to catch up with them.
After lunch, I'll go back home and get all my stuff together. Then off to the studio to teach my class 2-3pm, the last one of this session! My friend Tracie is meeting me there at 3. She has tickets to Saturday's 4pm Sox game, so we'll head into town from there for the game! I can't wait! I think this will be the 4th year in a row that I'm making it to an April game. :)
Most likely after I get home from the game, I'll head over to my boyfriend's house for the night. Sunday after a lazy morning and taking his dog for a walk, I'll head up to my parent's house to see them since I haven't seen them in 2 weeks. I'm guessing that night I'll be at the movies with my boyfriend, which is what we typically do on Sunday nights.
I took Monday off of work. My friend Kristin had it off and wants to go in to see the Boston Marathon. She had such a great time doing it last year to see me, that she wants to do it again. Funny thing is... I've been IN the marathon, but I've never been there to actually watch it! So I'm pretty excited about it.
So this weekend is going to be busy! I might need another day off to just recover!
What else... OH! I added a "Testimonials" page to my website. I found comments left on my fitness group's webpage and posted those and I asked a few friends to write things up for me. I got one back from my friend Christine tonight. She's so sweet. I absolutely LOVE what she wrote for me!
"Julie is the type of person who sets goals for herself and doesn't stop until she achieves them, whether it's her first 5K, swimming 50 laps in a pool or running the Boston Marathon.
I did my first 5K training and ran my first race with Julie and I’m currently taking her boot camp training classes.
Julie is someone you want by your side (especially if you’re like me and can make excuses and procrastinate for days) because with her you’ll feel motivated, you’ll gain positive energy and you’ll know that all of this hard work will pay off because you have Julie as an example of what can be possible. “
