I am freaking out! Not for lack of studying (although there was a bit of procrastination on my part), but just because taking a big test like this that I have told EVERYONE about is a little stressful. I am scheduled to take the NASM personal training certification test tomorrow at 1:30pm…eek! How did this day come so quickly??
I really appreciate everyone’s support and encouragement!! I can’t tell you how much it’s pushed me to move forward and work harder when the amount of work I had ahead of me really seemed impossible.
Thanks again to the lovely guest posters I’ve had on the blog the last couple of weeks:

6 Essential Items for Home Workouts via Sarah from Slices of Sarah Pie
St Patrick’s Day Chocolate-Mint Mug Cookie via Becky from Olives n Wine

Be sure to head over and give these lovely ladies some love if you haven’t already!!
Wish me luck and/or pray that all of the things I have learned in the last couple of months will stick!! 🙂
Tell me…
Something good! How was your weekend? When was the last time you overcame a challenge?
Krista @ Tiny n Fit

Thank YOU for the recipe! I tried out a modified version this weekend (in a graham cracker pie crust with the thin mint crust on top) and oh my gosh we’ve eaten half of it already!!
Alex @ Alex Runs For Food
You are going to rock this test!!!!! I know exactly how you are feeling!! Taking my nclex was the scariest thing ever at the end of January. After my test I was pretty much 100% certain I failed!!! But I didn’t 🙂 and your not going to either!!! We shall celebrate after you pass!
Amanda aka Semi-Health Nut
That makes me feel a lot better! With the NASM 75% make it on the first try, but I was reading a forum and this guy thought he had it but failed. I’m just being a little paranoid haha.
We should definitely celebrate!! 🙂
Alex @ Alex Runs For Food

Brittany Trentham

Kristin
Exciting! Don’t be nervous, you’re going to do great! Imagine how good it will feel when it is all over!!! You don’t need luck because you’ve worked so hard so I’ll just say, “show ’em what you’ve got!”
Amanda aka Semi-Health Nut
haha I love it!! Thanks, Kristin!

Best of luck! Remember to try to eat something right before the test and bring water in, if you can. I did both and it helped my concentration. I also went with my gut on a lot of questions, but also flagged so many (over 20) and then went back to those and remembered some of the answers. Can’t wait to hear more about it!
Amanda aka Semi-Health Nut
This was so helpful!! I did eat right before and brought water (but they didn’t let me take it in haha)
Kim @ FITsique
Can’t wait to hear how you did! I am sure just fine 🙂
Amanda aka Semi-Health Nut

Katie @ Daily Cup of Kate
