Happy 2011!

I'm so happy that it's 2011. I feel as if 2010 was kinda one of those stepping stone years. Kinda like some episodes on TV that aren't that funny, but you have to have those episodes to get to the great episodes.

The best thing that happened in 2010 was that I made some wonderful friends in our little town. Now that I have gotten to to know them so well, I can't imagine going through life without meeting them. But as far as big developments or changes in 2010, it just didn't happen. Same job, same husband with his same job, same house, same school, and same dog...wait we did get a new puppy. Not that I'm complaining about 2o10 because I would much rather have a boring but satisfying year versus 2009 which had mom diagnosed with cancer, school starting, buying a home. I get tired just thinking about 2009.

I always make resolutions, or goals for the upcoming years. I think it's fun, even though I keep my resolutions very very rarely. One of my biggest resolutions this year is to lose weight and get in shape. My husband has lost about 30 lbs since we got married, and I have found them. I am going to be a bridesmaid in June (yay!!!!!) and I want to not only look good in the dress, but feel good about myself as well. I also want to get in shape before we start a family. I know that after I have a baby my body will never be the same again BUT I have heard that it is easier to get back into shape if you already have a routine going before then. I am also graduating from school in 2012 and the plan is to go on a cruise with this beautiful couple...

Yeah...why do we need to have such beautiful friends? Who needs 6-pack abs? I want to be able to wear a two piece effortlessly and feel confident.

I did attempt my first P90x video last night. I am actually very proud of myself. We did the cardio video and I kept up with it the majority of the time. I only stopped a few times, but I attempted everything. Today my thighs are a little sore, my back is tight, and my shoulders hurt, but nothing I can't handle. I was worried that I would have to stay cooped up in the bed covered with ice packs.

Here are my resolutions for 2011:

1. Get in shape

2. Read more books. So far in this year I have read 2 books, and it's only the 4th.

Happy 2011!!!
