New Years Resolutions

This fat girl has gotta go, its time for me to be the biggest loser!!!! One of my New Years Resolution is to lose 40 lbs! I know its corny that is always a resolution for most people but I am serious. I need to lose this weight and Aaron has got me motivated. He has offered me a $2000 shopping spree when I hit this goal, and he gave me an Ipod for Christmas to enjoy my workouts. I also plan to get acrylic nails again because they make me feel pretty!

The plan is: I weigh....here it is in front of everyone.....178 lbs! When Aaron and I were dating I weighed 145 lbs. So I would like to get back to about 140 lbs or so by the earliest my birthday March 9th no later than this summer which is May. I know I can do it and I would love lots of encouragement from everyone checking in on me. I plan to blog my progress and I got myself a workout buddy, Aimee. Aimee and Aaron have to keep me going. I know my mom will check in to see if I am only eating 1/2 a sandwich...just a little joke.

I plan to start my work out as soon as I am no longer ill and I hope that will be around the 18th. I will workout three days a week consisting of a running routine that will work me up to running for 30 mins without walking along with some weight training and abdominal work. So about 2 hours on the evenings of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This will also give me time to myself away from kids....woohoo.

My next resolution is to pick up a new hobby, Photography! I am excited to learn about this and may even spend my $2000 on a new camera. I want to learn how to really capture the magic of the moment and be able to get a feeling from a photo. I know a few folks out here who already are good at this and I would love input from them and will definitely be picking their brains to teach me. I might even see if I can take a college course on photography.
