About

Welcome to my personal blog, Life of a Fitnerd! My name is Sheila and I am twenty seven years old residing in South Texas with my husband, Scott and our precious jack russell mix, Sawyer.

I am currently a student physical therapist assistant at Del Mar College and also a NASM Certified Personal trainer. I was born in the Philippines and came to the U.S. when I was 9 years old. I grew up in a small city in South Texas that is about 10 min. away from the border of Mexico.

I enjoy food, cooking, fitness, running, yoga, cycling, brazilian jiu-jitsu (currently not training), a good outdoor adventure, people’s company, singing, playing my guitar, being with friends, and family. I enjoy a lot of other things as well besides these I’ve listed. My faith and relationship with God is extremely important to me. It is what helps me keep going in life, especially during the hard times.

Why blog?

I’ve been blogging on and off since I was in high school. I started off at Xanga, then blogspot, and now WordPress has been my home since the past two years or so. My previous blog was  Foodie on the Move and it was a health/food blog. Even though I’m not the best at writing (my grammar really sucks), I enjoy it and it also has helped me become a better writer. Practice makes perfect right? I also kept a diary/journal when I was growing up, so maybe that’s another reason why blogging appeals to me. I know I express my feelings better through writing, I’ve known this since I was about 6 years old. I remember writing letters to my mom when I would be upset at her and leaving it by the corner of her bedroom. I laugh now when I think about it and I wish I had kept those letters. Anyway, this is my blog, my domain, a place where I can be creative, and share my thoughts, opinions, desires, and dreams. I want to be able to write anything I want on here. My blog reflects who I am as a person. As I’ve mentioned in the beginning, I like and enjoy a lot of things, so there will be many random posts about random things. Also, since food and fitness are my two specialties, I will probably be doing a lot of posts on those. But don’t worry, I will try my best to balance everything out.
