Tying up lose ends

So there are a few changes going on right now. I have started a boot camp on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays at 5AM. Yes, you read correctly I am actually up, dressed, and at a location not my bed by 5AM three mornings a week. I am starting a 8 week Biggest Loser contest at the Boot Camp with my cousins. I WILL win. I am also joining a Biggest Loser Contest at Runner’s World, I WILL win this one, too. I might be doing the couch to 5K with Runner’s World if I can fit it into my schedule.

I am not doing Weight Watchers, it just wasn’t working for me. I am however following a meal plan that is pretty simple and healthy. I have no clue how much I weigh or what my measurements are but I will let you know next week because I will have them done for the contests and then I will post them.

There are a few other thing going on that I am going to write about but this will do for now (seeing that I have to be up at 4AM). I will say that one of my New Year’s Resolutions is to blog weekly and I am going to try my hardest to get them written. I have some great ideas. My blogs are going to be less about the goals, weight, and plans for the week and more about the experiences that I am having. There will be more like the spin class and boobs blogs. Let me know what you think.

I am so very excited about what 2011 has in store for me. This is going to be a great year.

2010 in Review-ish

I was going to type up a “year in review” however if you are reading this you pretty much know what my year was like. In the first few months I did nothing but seclude myself and watch tv, in April I had a car wreck and bought a new car, in May I went to Chicago to see Glee, during the summer I did more sitting, secluding, and tv watching. In August I realized I deserve better, in September I began my love affair with Zumba, in October I became a new creation, in November I went to San Francisco, and in December I started boot camp and realized how lucky I am to have the friends that I have in my life. That pretty much sums it up.

I really would like to shine a little light on the people that have really made this year great for me! This was the year that I reconnected with old friends and made some amazing new friends. This year my life became richer and I was challenged to be a better person because of the people in my life. So with that I would like to thank a few people.
Keira- thank you for not giving up on me and for nudging me without pushing. I am so glad that you are a part of my life.
Dawn- I love our Saturdays and conversations. I had missed having you in my life and I’m pretty sure that you are never allowed to go away again.
Lisa-I love that I can see you once in 2 years and we pick up where we left off. I admire the fact that you always tell me what I need to hear instead of what I want to hear. I am very proud of you and I miss you!!
Missy- You wisdom and heart always amaze me. I learn more lessons from you FB statuses than I do anywhere or from anyone else.
Burgan- I am pretty sure that without your constant support and willingness to try any new fitness class with me, I would still be sitting on my couch watching the TV. Thank you so much and remember that 2011 is the year of the Shimmy for us!!
Mandy- I LOVE talking to you. Thank you for answering all my crazy questions, you are like my younger-Big sister. You make my days go by faster with a lot more laughter.
Kirby- You have one of the greatest hearts and the best sense of humor. You are my fashion guru. Thank you for not letting me continue in my life as a fashion tragedy. The girls thank you, too. Your friendship means the world to me.
Rob- Somehow you bring out a side of me that I had forgotten about. With you I can be completely myself. I love that we are friends.
Jacque- I am so proud of you and I am glad that we are on this journey together. You are a great friend (and cousin).
Rhonda- I so very much love hanging out with you. You are wise beyond your years and have s great heart. Your friendship means the world to me. I am so thankful the you are a part of my life.
Team Melissa- You guys and gals are great. I could not ask for better support and encouragement. Thank you for your calls, comments, and emails. I love that each of you are a part of my life.
