My Life in Instagrams—August Edition

I wanted to do better at documenting my life via Instagrams this month, but alas, I did not do a good job. Or maybe my life just isn't very exciting or Instagram worthy. Haha. Oh well. I like this Life in Instagram series, so I shall keep on if for no other benefit than my own enjoyment. When I look back at my posts throughout the month, I always think "Oh yea!" for the things I forgot or "Wow that was THIS month?" for the things that seemed to happen so long ago.

I got notice that I passed my AFAA certification exam. I didn't receive my official notice of AFAA membership until August 15, but this notice gave my mind relief—I PASSED! And that was all that mattered. :)

I posted this frowny face made of fruit snacks on a bad, bad day. It started in the worst way possible. I haven't shared this yet, but that day I SLEPT THROUGH A CLASS I WAS SUBBING. Oh my gosh, it pains me to even type that. It was my worst nightmare come true. And, yes, I seriously stressed about that happening beforehand, so when I woke realizing what had happened, I floated around in a daze in complete unbelief. I SHOULD have been fine to wake in time for a 7 a.m. class. But no, I failed. I had to face the embarrassment of showing up 15 minutes late to a class I should have been 15 minutes early too. And I was subbing that day, so no one in the class knew me and THIS was the only impression of me they had. I showed up late, apologized, and got the class started with a sinking feeling inside the entire time. To make things worse, one of my contacts didn't make it in my eye properly that morning so the entire class was fuzzy. Perhaps that was a blessing in disguise so I couldn't focus on annoyed faces. Sigh, I pray that never happens again.

I teach several fitness classes a week (sometimes a day), so I sometimes have a hard time getting to other people's classes. I made time to do that this month. I attended several yoga, PIYO, U-Jam, and sculpt classes. I love getting that variety into my workout regime and participating in classes as a student. Love it.

I got CPR certified, which was the last step required to finalize my AFAA membership. Wahoo!

My brother, who also lives in Provo attending BYU, stayed at my place for about a week while he was between apartments. My apartment is not large so having an extra person stay—plus all his stuff—was quite overwhelming to the space. It was fun to see him every day and hanging out a little more, but I was happy to have my space back too. :)

I also posted about this (Part 1, Part 2), but I completed my U-Jam certification. I still need to send in a video and get notice that I pass and can teach the format, but I think things are going well. And I'm getting more and more excitement about the style.
