I’m thrilled that I will be having my first health and fitness public speaking event next month! It will be at an assisted living facility and I’ll be speaking to seniors about choosing healthy items on the menu and why they are good for you, also motivating them for health and fitness.
I’ve always loved public speaking. One of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done in my life was speaking to a fourth grade class about journalism.Β (Not to mention that I’ve done off-Broadway theatre and was a spoken word artist in my 30s).
Most of my journalism lies in health and fitness. I’ve written many articles about famous people in the health field, such as Carol Alt and Oleda Baker. I was the editor of “NJ Health & Fitness” and had my own online health column called “Here’s to Your Health.”
Currently I am writing regularly for “Skinny News” a Bergen County, New Jersey publication on health and fitness.
I’ve been waiting to do this for a very long time and am beyond psyched! This has been a super stellar week for me in business. I couldn’t be happier!
NIce blog post.. Good Luck too about the speech π
Thanks so much! I liked your blog today too, I totally related π
OMG! Something we don’t have in common! I can talk in front of or around numerous people but put me in front of a podium and I lose my sh**! For me, public speaking is the very worst!! I get dry mouth, weak knees, tremble, sweaty palms…the works! I do have a background in health, fitness, nutrition and beauty though. π I’m taking a few minutes to catch up on some reading! I’ve missed you!
Aw, I missed you too. Glad you’re back. And you’re right, I’m the opposite, I can talk on stage or behind a podium but not in front of people in a social setting. I prefer one on one — unless it’s a bunch of MY friends that I hand picked — ha! π
This is exciting maryanne. I know you will knock em dead… I’m sure it will also be very rewarding.
Reblogged this on D – Flame Within.
I just discovered this amazing blog. Love it. Thanks
Aw, thank you so much!
All the best for the speech!
Thanks so much! π
That’s great, Maryanne!
I’m really happy for you. I’ve joined a gym… mainly to keep my mind healthy as my body’s in good shape these days. Touch Wood!! Lol
Enjoy your weekend. Hugs to Billy Cat. Paula xxx
Thanks Paula! Congrats on joining the gym! I exercise at home every morning and sometimes add a second workout at night. I do: yoga, kickboxing, Pilates and light weights. Sometimes dance just to mix it up but I’m not good at it. xo
Hey, go you! You are way more motivated than me. Lol
Hey, does going out drinking and dancing count?? Lol
Nite. xxxxx
Yes, definitely! It counts more if you can limit yourself to one or two and drink lots of water. (I fail at the water part, constantly striving to be a better water drinker!) xo
