Just For Fun on Friday at The Fit Shack - 4 Things
Here’s something just for fun on Friday at The Fit Shack - I don’t do these very often however some bloggy friends of mine over at Divine Purpose Unleashed (CK and Michelle, be sure to check out their inspiring site!) tagged me for a response.
They wrote a post on a “4 things” theme and asked me to follow up with my own answers. Hope you enjoy learning a little bit more about me, the blogger behind The Fit Shack. 
4 Jobs I’ve Had
(ok, so they’re my first jobs and they just happen to be in the food industry, and a lot of fast and processed food at that…)
- Beach stand hot dog and snack seller.
- Fast food burger and fry pusher.
- Steak and seafood table busser.
- Grocery store processed food hawker.
What are 4 ways you know you are living your life’s purpose?
- When I feel joyful about the activity that I’m doing.
- When everything flows easily.
- When my guides tell me so.
- When I receive positive feedback from others telling me that I’ve helped.
What are 4 things you do to take really good care of yourself?
- Do regular cardio and strength training. My normal schedule is a minimum 30 minutes of cardio on my treadmill in my target heart rate zone (THR), 5 times a week, and 2 body sculpting sessions per week. One of those is focused on my upper body and the other is lower body.
- Staying off of refined sugar and white flour. These substances trigger my sugar addiction, sugar cravings, overeating, and binging - better for me to stay off of them.
- Drink at least 100oz of clean water per day. Clean water meaning none of those bottled, sugared waters but just plain ‘ole water.
- Get at least 8 hours of sleep a night - well, I aim to, need some work on that lately!
What are the 4 events that have most formed how you live your life today?
- Not finishing college when I was a kid.
- 911 (caused a career change).
- Going back to school to finish my degree.
- World travel in general.

Oh, JoLynn, now I’m really going to have to THINK!
I’d love to visit Bath too. I’ve only been to the southern part of England, and I loved it! Would love to return and visit the entire UK.

I love your answer:
When you guides tell you so. I’d love to know what that means…
And the 911 ..? What is that?
All I have are more questions!
Thanks for playing along.

MizFits last blog post..Team MizFit (and everyone else who is playing along at home):
Maybe you wrote about this, but I can’t find it. Tell me how 911 caused a career change… What impact did this have? And of course, I am interested to know if it led you to living your Divine Purpose?

Hi Susan,
I know what you mean, looking forward to what you come up with, though!
Hi Michelle and CK,
When I meditate, get quiet and actually tune in and listen (means I have to get quiet
), then I can determine whether I’m on track or not. No, I don’t hear voices and the main thing I go by is my emotions. When I feel good and feel joyful about what I’m doing then I know I’m on purpose. Otherwise if I don’t but there is something I need to do, I find a way to make it fun so I feel joyful doing it. 
Re: 911, that’s September 11, 2001. Caused a career change for me, and this is why I went back to school. I don’t want to get into all of that as it could be an entirely different blog topic, but I did go through a big transition, which is Fine - everything always works out for me in the end.
Hi Nadine,
Don’t regret, just go back!
Whether you’re 25 or 55 it’s never too late. I went back for a career change but mainly because I actually had something I wanted to learn more about and get a degree in - IT. I really enjoy school.
