Beach babes KLM
Having fun with KLM colleagues at the beach in Wijk aan Zee. We are just having this awesome summer, with great weather, nice temperatures. Only few days of rain, I'm loving it.
Just keep in mind, we weren't great volleyball players. But we were the best in having a great time!!!

Long time ago....
Many reasons why I haven't been blogging for a while.
Maybe not a lot of interesting stuff to tell, too busy to make time, it's summer and the weather has been awesome. I have been working a lot at KLM, but also teaching my classes, ding module training and quarterlies...... mmmmm more excuses, or didn't I just feel like writing.
Well I don't know, but here I am again.
Pompadour was awesome, my very first trainer summit. It was very much worth it. I had a great time and learned so much.
First hous and hours in the bus going to Pompadour, then when were finally able to sleep, thinking that would be for about 2 hours, but it appeared to be only 5 mins, as there was a BP Masterclass straight away. So without any sleep, I got up from the bed again, took a shower an went straight into BP 71 ... Then a full day of workshops practising and finally presenting. Man, I was nervous..... presenting as 'baby' trainer, on a huge stage with so many experienced trainers, DVD presenters and even Phillips Mills and Steven Renata in the class. And ofcourse in english, without any sleep ...... I think I can be proud of myself that I did it...... Yeah!!!
The next day was about the same, but then for BA. I did not present BA as each trainer was only presenting one program.
Both evenings filled with parties and lots of buffalo's :-)
It was awesome!!!!!
Further on, I have been enjoying this great summer we have here this year. Going to the beach, spending time at the boat of my parents. Staying up late, eating out in the backyard with friends, drinking wine and then thinking: man, I gotta get up at 4.30 to go to work again.....
Yep that's life here at the moment.
I am preparing now for the quarterlies coming up in August. Last week I received BP71, now I'm learning choreo again. Almost got the whole thing.
Another thing, I have started running, yessss, running. Can't say I really like it, but it's a good training for BA and BS. And I will be taking part in the WARR. This is a race which is organized in the airline industry yearly and now is organized in China, Hangzhou, near Shanghai. One of my colleagues has been participating for a couple of years now, and she kept asking if I wanted to join her. Since I had never run b4, this never seemed to be a good idea. But this year I decided it would be agood thing to train for. I will be doing the 10k run. It'll be fun, but it's still a struggle for me to go get up and run. Once I'm running I'm okay, and I do kind or like it then. But just te moment of getting up, change and get my running shoes .... mmmmm. Will I ever get over this?
Well next time a bit more about this. Now I have to go change and go get my bike to go to the gym. BP and BA tonight.... which is no struggle :-)
Grtzzzzz

Loving BP
I still can't believe how much I love doing BP and especially teaching my classes and giving module trainings. Just got home from the first day of a module training. My heart is still beating faster when I'm entering the club and get to meet new people who would like to become BP instructors. All are waiting, some exciting, some are quiet, others look a bit hesitant. Some people 'have to go', because the clubmanagers told them to. Others want to go themselves.
All different people with different expectations, but all with one goal: Become a certified BP instructor. To share my passion with these people, try to make them as crazy about BP as I am. I just can't describe this feeling. I'm already looking forward to tomorrow. Day 2, where the instructors get to do their thing, we pass the steeringwheel on to them. 2 Presentations and a Challenge!!!. It's going to be a tough day! But so many instructors make it through, so I'm convinced this group will survive to. We are there to help them out. The challenge is something amazing. It really is a challenge, and every BP instructor in the whole world has done it!!!! Can you believe that?! Each instructor from today's module is now studying his/her track. All being nervous. SOme have teaching experience, but for other's it's going to be their first presentation. It ain't going to be easy, but with effort from both sides they will all come a long way! For some 3 days is not enough, and they will have the opportunity to do this third day again. It doesn't matter. We encourage them to continue and don't give. After all it took me four exams to get my driver's lisence :-(
Keep working, keep Pumping!

Too fast...
This trip went by too fast. Man, 3 weeks ago I was still in San Fran, and now I'm back home.
A trip which left me with lots of beautiful memories again. I'm only home for a couple of hours, but I already miss New Zealand, Les Mills, all the great inspiring people, and ofcourse the sun!
But to be honest it feels good to be at home as well. Looking forward to our Dutch Quarterlies. Tomorrow will be the first one. I won't be presenting untill Vleuten, but I will do live assesment for BP and BA. Probably will do BS and BB to work out a little after all this sitting on the airplane for 2 days .... mmmmm
But to get back to New Zealand. It was a great trip... What have we done???!!!!
- Surfing @ Piha beach
- Winery/wine tasting Waiheke Island
- Day trip Bay of Islands (dolphin boat trip)
- Day trip to Rotorua (Hot springs, Maori Culture)
- Auckland Museum and a citywalk
- Going out, having great dinners with good company
- Mission Bay many times
- Lots of Les Mills classes including Filming
Sounds pretty good doesn't it?? Well I'm going to relax a little now and will try to stay awake untill the evening so I can get back to Dutch time asap.
