I saw this poster on the web recently and saved it to one of my Pinterest boards.

(PS – Pinterest is a pretty cool site)

For me, the things that fill my time when I am procrastinating are:

• Running
• Yoga
• Walking
• Tweeting
• Blogging
• Learning about Social Media
• Playing with new web tech
• Researching health and fitness

Some of these items are things that would actually translate into my “real world” job, but I don’t often have as much time to devote to them as I would like while working.

When I read that poster I thought, I should probably make more of an effort to incorporate some of those things into my life in attempts that may lead me down the road to merging what I currently do for work (web stuffs) with more of my other passions.

That’s why I’m throwing in my name to be a FitFluential ambassador for the Las Vegas area.

I would love to be able to be a part of this network so I can help spread messages about healthful brands and companies.  But I don’t want to just talk fitness the way we see in so much of mainstream media.  I will never ever tell you to “drop inches” or “lose a size” or “cut calories” because I believe that health or fitness is so much more than just removing things from yourself.  It’s about ADDING.

• Adding activities that make you feel good.
• Adding friends that support and encourage you.
• Adding positive messages to your life.
• Adding things that help you perform to the best of your ability.

I wish I could say that I have the magic formula for all of that and will share it with you if I’m picked as a FitFluential ambassador.  But I don’t… I’m still learning and evolving.  Each new article I read, product I try, experience I have gives me more information… information that I love being able to share with others.  That’s why I coach newbie runners & walkers.  That’s why I blog.  That’s what feeds my soul.

So I’m humbly throwing my name into the pool… and I look forward to being able to share whatever I learn with my readers, whatever it may lead to!
