A happy 2013 to you! As you may have noticed, I’ve quite simplified the design and layout of the blog and by golly, I changed the name too. I realized last year that I had just outgrown the “healthy living blog” blueprint and was just craving a space where I talked about whatever I wanted to. So, I decided to change it to be, well, me. c.c. leist. That’s me.
I’m positive that 2013 is going to be a big year, just as 2012 was (I’m a big dreamer, what can I say?) and new things are on the horizon for me.
Will you still read me talk about fitness related things? Yes, but also probably much less frequently. Will you see lots of photos? No, probably not. I just crave a space to write. Recipes? Ehhh, unlikely, unless I happen to link to one that someone else developed. Will I give a play-by-play of what happens in my daily life? Definitely not. Not my thing.
Otherwise, not much has changed for me over the last 2 months! A few notable achievements: I became a Certified Personal Trainer and became a CrossFit Level 1 (CF-L1) Trainer. Another notable change: I discontinued teaching BODYPUMP after nearly 8 years. Sometimes things just run their course. (Side note, since I stopped teaching so many group ex classes, my vocal chord nodules have improved and now I can belt showtunes to my heart’s content. I have missed that.)
I’m spending New Year’s Day cleaning out my apartment, preparing for a prosperous year ahead, so I’m off to the races to make the most of this day.
I’m going to leave you with this quote I heard earlier from one of my favorite women-in-business coach/mentor/celebrity idols, Marie Forleo:
