Happy New Year!


I have had so much going on lately that I don't know where to begin. I know that I have told just about everyone I know about the health and fitness fair that Anytime Fitness is putting on next weekend. However I want to document it so that I remember :)

A few weeks ago I met with my boss Leanne for coffee to go over the agenda for the Health and Fitness fair. We sat around and brainstormed about what it could look like and how we could get people to attend. She mentioned that she wished that we could get some local celebrity on board to draw people to the gym. The night before I had watched the season finale of the Biggest Loser, and got an idea. Several past year contestants live in the Phoenix area and I knew that a pair of cousins that were on last season seemed particularly positive and genuinely nice. They are Sione and Filipe Fa. I mentioned to Leanne that maybe we could get them to come up and speak. She didn't believe it could happen.

Well, to make a long story short just 3 days later they were booked and the event is next weekend. They are coming up on Friday evening and we are having dinner with them. Then on Saturday morning they are running a boot camp for some very lucky winners. They will be speaking after that. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am!!!! I love the show, and I really liked Sione on the show. The countdown is on!!

I get to attend the boot camp which I am very excited yet somewhat nervous about. I am hoping that it isn't so hard that I throw up :)

I have several other things to talk about including some "resolutions" so to speak, but I think that I will make it several posts so that this one doesn't get too long.
