I just signed up for a three-month study group for the purpose of taking the SPHR (Senior Professional of Human Resources) certification. Honestly, I'm not sure what came over me. I knew that someday I wanted to get this certification, but I figured it was 2 or 3 years down the road. Then I saw the study courses that the local chapter of SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) was having (twice a week, 2 hours a session, for 3 months), and I hurried up and signed up before I could change my mind! OY!The thing is, I probably should take the PHR (which is a lower level of the SPHR), but I figured "what the heck...go for the gold!" I'm starting to think I'm certifiable....for real!
I know I'm going to have to spend an insane amount of time studying for this. However, I'm committing to myself (and to whomever reads this), that I will not waver from my workouts and I will continue to journal my food. That's of the utmost importance. As much as I want to get this certification, I want to get fit more.
I'm excited about starting this, but I am scared that I'm in a little over my head! I just looked at some study questions, and I didn't know any of the answers. Hope those books come fast! The testing window is May 1st through June 30th.

Good for you for taking the leap! I know you can do this. Think of it this way - being childfree, you do not have to worry about the competing demands of a family taking your attention away from studying.
Absolutely true. I know I would never even consider doing this if I had kids. I would be too into dealing with them. If I did have a job, I know it wouldn't be much of a career.
