I took the National Strength and Conditioning Association’s Certified Personal Trainer exam today. I’d scheduled it a while ago, and really just didn’t feel prepared enough. However, to reschedule you need 7 business days’ notice, and an extra $100… neither of which I had! So in spite of my reservations, I took it anyway, and chose to look at it like an expensive practice test.
My twin sister knew how I was feeling, and since we live in different states, had my husband pick up a small bag of jellybeans and write a tag on them: “Miss Yonchuk’s Smart Beans”. LOL In high school (yes, ages and ages ago now), Miss Yonchuk was our social studies teacher. Whenever we had a test, she would offer small pieces of candy and call them “smart pills”. It’s probably illegal now, but anyway… I guess they still worked!
I passed, and am officially certified as a personal trainer. I even get to put cool letters after my name, NSCA-CPT.

See? Told ya you were gonna pass.
Next time I tell you you’re certifiable, perhaps you’ll believe me?

LOL I believed you when you said I was certifiable… I just wasn’t convinced I was certifiable in this particular venue.

It’s a simple rule: Always believe Blair.

Ah, now I gotcha!

Brown-haired babe belatedly begins believing Blair?
