Another busy week! Its month end at work tomorrow so after I teach class and have an awesome brunch with Heather and a couple friends, I'm going to head into the office to help clean up and close the accounts for month end. Its been a spectacular month at work! Both Tammy (a good friend and coworker of mine) and I have had the best months of our careers!
I also found out yesterday that I actually GOT the job I was talking about on the 14th. (See a couple posts back). Its the same position, just in a different office. We have 4 Coprorate Travel offices in Toronto, and after NOT getting the one back on the 14th, I was called in to meet with 2 of the other offices. I met with 8 people that morning and afternoon and GOT offered a job in one of the offices yesterday! I start there on May1! I'm really excited, and really nervous..But mostly excited!
Classes are going great still! I'm getting really excited for the May 5th event I'm planning! Its going to be 9am-11am at the OIP Dance Studio (Same as the last event) at 190 Richmond Street East here in Toronto! :)
Starting Monday I've decided to start posting all my workouts and food again too. I loved the way I felt and how my results were when I was doing that, and I really feel I need to get back to it. SO my commitment to myself on Monday is to begin that again!!! :)
ExciteD! :)

Too Long between Posts
I was going through my old posts and realized that I definitely don't have the same consistency I did during that first year of posting. It's no coincidence that I don't have the consistency in my food intake either...The journaling helps me so much! I mean I don't have 85pounds to lose anymore, so I don't have to be AS strict, but I do have lots of goals ahead of me so I need to be much more consistent!
Work has been very busy, and I am in the tail end of my best month ever. It's been challenging, but very busy. I've applied for some positions internal to our company and have had some really amazing feedback, but so far no jobs. I love what I do, so I am continuing to do it, but I am very ready for a new challenge and hope that what I am working towards pans out soon!
Classes are amazing! They are huge, fun, exciting and we've still got new faces coming all the time! Man I love this!
I have planned our NEXT event for May5 and I couldn't be more excited! I have a bunch of friends coming from the states for the weekend for the event, which has me almost giddy! These folks, in addition to all the folks already here in Toronto is gonna make this the best one yet for sure! I'm trying to get some sponsors for raffle gifts like usual and some friends have already let me know that they have goodies then can donate! I LOVE getting to give stuff away!! Its such an added bonus to the day!!
Anyways...I will be posting here MUCH more often. So if anyone is reading, you can check in more often but I need this place! :)

Putting Myself out there
Well I've never been one, thin or fat keep things to myself. So here goes.
I applied to be an APD for Powder Blue as I mentioned below. The application process is very involved and includes a long application as well as a requirement to send in a video of you. The video is supposed to encompass who you are, and should act as a supplement to the written application.
I don't know if I will be chosen to go to the Presenter Camp to audition in April, but regardless...This is me! I love Turbo Kick™ and I wanted to share this with anyone who is interested.
Here is what I sent in.
On the DVD I sent in, there is a "SPECIAL FEATURE" called OUTTAKES. This is what comes up with you click on that.

A long time....
A long time since I posted, and a lot has happened both good and bad. Let's start on the good side!
I had my Turbo Kick™ Round29 event this past weekend. Man it was rockin! The venue, the OIP Dance Studio here in Toronto was amazing! I think everyone really had a great time and Round29 was so freaking amazing! It's my favorite round BY FAR!!! I think the gals in my class are starting to really like it too! KICKS!! LOTS OF KICKS!!! My friend Lisa from Milwaukee flew all the way to Toronto just for the event! How amazing is that! If she was the ONLY one in class my weekend would have been made...But instead I had another 45 or so ladies (and 3 guys) come out and just tear the place apart! This was smaller than my last event (over 60 ladies) but this event was the most fun for me! I think each one is the MOST FUN because its the most fresh in my mind! Man I love teaching this stuff!
Ok on the not so positive side, I found out today that I didn't get a really important job today. This would have been a promotion and the selection committee was down to a select few (from a lot of applicants). I wanted this position very badly (more than I let on) and for the first time in my life, I lost out to someone else in an interview. The person who ended up in the role is outstanding and I think he will do amazing, but I am totally torn about by it. I'll survive and I will grow because of it. I talked to the manager of the team (and his boss) today and got feedback and asked for things I could do to make myself a stronger candidate. They didn't have much to tell me actually (which was a bit of an ego boost) and they told me that they thought I was a great candidate and that in future positions (there will be several in the next few months) that they wanted me to re-apply. I think I will, but I don't remember ever wanting something so badly and losing out.
Also I applied to become a Area Promotions Director (Presenter) for Powder Blue Productions, the makers of Turbo Kick™. This is also something I want VERY badly. I had to put together a video and send it in to California. If they like my application and video I will get invited to California for 3 days to audition to be a presenter. If I get through that, I will get the opportunity to run events and certify instructors in Turbo Kick™! Talk about a dream come true! From fat, out of shape Rob, to Turbo Kick™ Fanatic, to APD for Powder Blue! I don't know what the superstars in California will think of my application or video but I sure hope they like it! My cousins, Pete and Sarah helped me put it all together (they are amazing) and I couldn't be more grateful! I love em!
Here are some pictures from our turbo kick™ event! :)
Just a group shot! I love these people! And no, Steve and Lisa are not standing on chairs, they are both that tall! Happy Post Workout!!! ;)
My buddy Koko, modeling his "I HEART TURBO" T-Shirt that he won in our draw!
Just me, going through the "how to" part of our day.
We have already decided on a NEW event. May 5, 2007! I am hopeful that some more of my friends can make it! I will post more info on that over the next couple of weeks!
