Never thought I would say this, but.....I have once again enrolled myself in some sort of schooling. Thankfully the courses I have enrolled in don't take me away from my everyday job, my home or my gym (although I did love my university gym). Just thinking about university gives me a hangover I swear. Anyone else?
Now on to the announcement: I have enrolled in the ISSA Fitness Nutrition Certificate. I am pretty excited for many reasons. I have always been interested in fitness and nutrition and am constantly reading articles in magazines and online. So I figured I might as well learn some more AND get a certificate out of it. My love for cooking and food may also have something to do with my enrolment.
I also thought it would be a great idea to learn more about nutrition, technically, if I am going to be taking on a contest diet. Now when I am eating certain things given by my trainer I will be able to make the connection to why I am eating these particular foods.
I also like the idea of the ISSA foundation because they have a lot of courses that look interesting to me that hopefully I will take at a later date. Maybe even get my Personal Training Certificate!
You know what else this means? Not only am I going to be a gym nerd prepping for my 1st competition, but I am also going to be a book nerd studying for my 1st certificate. I always seem to pick the perfect time to do EVERYTHING! Let's pray for a stress free next few months!

Yes! That is SO awesome! When is your comp again? My biggest advice, as someone who did this too much, is not to plan ANYTHING for the month before your comp... that is when you are lowest on carbs, doing a ton of cardio, and very depleted... packing in too much can cause so much stress you get sick. That was my biggest regret in my last prep. I am only planning on massages the whole month of April. haha!
