Free At Lance....

Here we go again!
Last week I resigned as Fitness Director, and will be giving up a stable bi-monthly paycheck to take a solid whack at personal training, free-lancing, and teaching CrossFit classes. It's just who I am! Sure administrative and management positions pay the mortgage, and are stable income, but what they give in cash, they take away in time.

You know how it goes: when you have the money, you never have the time to enjoy life (unless of course you're someone like Bill Gates, or Richard Branson...in that case you have both and can do whatever the H you want), and if you have time on your hands you usually don't have enough lettuce (more paleo than dough) to do the things you have time for.

I've opted for the " Struggle at the beginning, and maybe have less money , but more time to enjoy life" formulae.

Although I will not longer be fitness director, I will still be very active at the Mansfield Athletic Club: A great health club where I have made friends of co-workers, have some personal training clients, teach classes, love the members, and will hopefully continue to grow my personal training biz, and between CrossFit Montreal where I rekindled my passion and purpose for training, and which ultimately, inspired me to start this blog.

I look forward to being more independent, and hopefully helping others get their workout groove going. I also look forward to scheduling in some time to swim laps at the pool, actually cook from scratch (instead of relying on "Momma Igloo" as my Austrian uncle calls meals or meal elements foraged from the freezer) instead of "microwave on high for 3 minutes" , and to train, enjoy life, and working at something that I love.

Ok, enough blogging...back to my chaise-longue :)
