I just celebrated my twenty-sixth birthday. Burrrr. Twenty-six? Late twenties? Well, I'm still claiming mid-twenties. I'll make the full and formal transition into the elder part of this decade next year.
The birthday was wonderfully spent. It began with an eight-hour fitness training. After two and a half hours of vicious workouts (my buns still burn!), five hours of detailed instruction and textbooking, and a final exam, I'm now certified to instruct R.I.P.P.E.D.—The One Stop Body Shock! R.I.P.P.E.D. is a "plateau proof fitness formula" that utilizes free weights, resistance, and body weight training to masterfully combine Resistance, Intervals, Power, Plyometrics, Endurance, and Diet to kick your body into high gear. The 50 minute class combines explosive cardio in the interval, plyometrics, and endurance portions of the workout, and great strength training during resistance and power. The average person burns 750-1000 calories in this less-than-an-hour class (are you salivating yet? Cause I am)! The diet and nutrition information found here helps you get the maximum results for all your effort. I'm really excited about introducing this class to the Middle East and seeing all the great transformation that will take place! Yay for fitness, wellness, and health!
Speaking of health, I encourage you to say a prayer of thanks for yours. Today, I found out very hard and disappointing news. My former choir and drama teacher, Ms. Kathleen Blair, passed away in early October. Ms. Blair (1950-2011) fought a seven-month battle with cancer, and will be deeply missed. I am so saddened to hear of her passing; she was a fiery, no-nonsense, God-fearing woman, and she touched thousands of students' lives as they passed through her classroom. Please pray for her husband, son, and other loving family and friends as they spend their first holiday season without their beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. I'm consoled by the fact I was able to see her and visit with her one last time this past July. Thank You, Father, for Ms. Blair and all she brought and offered to the world. We will miss her.
Well, my tangled and wet hair has been locked up in a restrictive tower of a towel after showering two hours ago. I guess it's about time to release it! As William Wallace said, "Freeeeee-dommmmmm!"
Until next time, Ana
