It's been a long time. I hadn't even thought about this blog in over a year. Why? My life has not been very interesting. All work and no play make Amy very dull and extremely unhappy. I've done no real training since Wisconsin 2009. Instead, I've been focussing on my professional goals. My work promotion has been a blessing but, it has also thrown my life WAY out of balance.
I spent the last year pursuing my Psychologist's license which I proudly completed at the end of January. Although I've had my doctorate for over ten years and have been licensed as an LPC, I should have stretched myself sooner and completed this milestone. Instead, I played it safe and comfortable. Sadly, if I had stayed in this place I would have never grown or opened the many doors which are now available to me.
By taking on this challenge though, it meant that I would experience a year (plus) of discomfort and unrelenting stress --- some externally created, but mostly internally driven. I have been forced to walk outside my comfort zone unguided for far too long. It's been exhausting. More exhausting than any Ironman.
Now, I'm yearning to rediscover my old self. Is she in there...somewhere??? Hello....Bueller ?? Twenty pounds later and no visible signs of the old "Hammer," I look to recapture the essence of what has brought me the greatest peace, most treasured memories, my most vibrant self....
Enter Day 1 of Tucksun Fat Camp 2011 starring Carole Sharpless as personal trainer Jillien Michaels. Lee and I have headed out to Arizona to get my groove back, to step back, to relax, the engage, to rethink. Arizona's motta "Ditat Deus" means God Enriches. I'm hoping to be enriched by sun, fun, friends and sitting in the saddle.
