Another Certification Achieved

I really worked hard for this one. I have reviewed a number of documents and watched training videos. During the actual exam, my hands were sweating from the difficult questions. But when I submitted the exam and saw the Pass word flashed before the screen, I almost shouted "Yay!" inside the exam center with other people taking other certification exams. I am proud of getting this one. I am the first from our company to be certified.


Here is my Salesforce Consultant certification:




For the next challenge, I am going to take the release-specific exam for maintaing my Salesforce Certified Admin status sometime this month.

Back On The Wagon

It has been almost three months that I stopped working out. I do have the occasional weekend swim but that was not enough to keep myself fit and retain the bulk that I built for some time. I am happy that I am starting to get back to my workout groove. My work shift had to return to night shift so I have the extra time now to go to the gym.

What is interesting with my workout routine now is I can incorporate swimming as my cool down exercise. I am a bit hesitant at first because of the concept that a tried body should be rested first before taking a bath for the fear of muscle disorders as you get old. But since there are no proven facts about this, I decided to take the plunge. Pun intended.

Another new thing about my routine is the gym place itself. I have availed the initial month of gym membership in the condo where I stayed. First month is unlimited use so I am trying to make most out of it.

I know that once I get back to regular work shift, I will be putting my exercise route on hold. For now, I won't be thinking about it and just focus on making myself fit again.
