Random Update

Hey There!! Just wanted to give you all an update about the exercising plan. The first week was good. I worked out twice a day and ate salads and tuna. But, it is already getting harder. I say this while I am at Robert's mom's house eating French Onion dips and Ruffles and drinking Pepsi. So, I am contemplating getting another job for the holidays. I need more money, especially since Christmas is like five miles away. But, if I get a job, I won't be able to have a social life. I know that isn't the most important thing, but it's a high priority for me. So, I don't know what to do. When it nears the holidays, I start thinking a lot about my mom. She was born on Christmas and the holidays make me think of her more. Everyone says that as you get older, you get closer to your parents. I wish I would have had the opportunity to see if that was true. But, as she always told me, " That which doesn't kill me will make me stronger." She always taught me to work hard for what I need, that nothing in life is free. She taught me to stand up for myself and to be the best I can be So, this is kinda a tribute to my mom, whom I love, miss and will remember forever.

Exercise... Here I come!!

So, I am on a mission to lose more inches on my arms, waist and thighs than my roomate, Beth, by January 31 st. Last night we were at Buffalo's with our friend, Lindsy discussing how we were out of shape and needed to tone up and shed a few pounds. Lindsy suggested that Beth and I make a bet and up the stakes.. at first it was loser takes winner to Red Lobster, but that didn't give me enough motivation. So, Lindsy suggested that loser buys winner a new outfit, to show off their new look for $50. This was all the motivation I needed for two reasons- 1 I am broke and $ 5o is a lot of money to me and 2 I haven't bought myself a complete new outfit in like four years, so the race is on. Beth and I took down our measurements last night and worked out for an hour. I lifted weights and did crunches this morning and walked a mile on my lunch break. I am going to work out with Robert tonight. I WANT A NEW OUTFIT, but more than that, I want to feel better in general and be in better shape. If anyone wants to offer great work out ideas, please feel free. Gotta go for now, I have more lifting and stretching to do!!!
