A New Year...a new challenge....

It sure has been a while since I have blogged on here. After a stressful few years where I focused on everything else except myself I am dedicating the next year to me! That is right! I want to become a healthier and stronger person (not to mention look hot in a swimsuit)!

I have started doing a few little things, like giving up my tutoring job that I had two nights a week. I absolutely loved this job, and it paid well for the time I put in each week. However, I have realized I need more time for myself. I have also started going to the gym -- Lifetime Fitness-- and have begun working out as much as I can throughout the week. While this is easy to do with the schedule of my summer, I hope this can be accomplished once the hustle and bustle of the school year begins. I figure if I put my goal and plan on here I cannot just let it go...I have made the commitment to myself as well as my loyal blog readers.

My goal on my golden birthday come next March is to be at a weight where I can go into the store and buy one of those shirts that seems to cling to every curve on your body and LOOK great wearing it! This is quite a lofty goal for me right now, but I am determined to do it and I know I will do it! It will take a lot of hard work, and probably a few less margaritas and beers with the neighbors...but I have to do it for me!

So for those loyal blog readers anyeone want to take the challenge with me? A bit of a competition among us all? Any takers?
