Hello 2011, I welcome you with open arms!

A new year for most people means making resolutions that they will try really hard at for a week or two and then forget about. Well for me I got a head start on my new years resolutions a couple of months ago. Of course one of my big resolutions is this blog and the big 3-0 shape-up. Of course my last blog I talked about trying to lose 10 pounds by the end of the year but that did not happen. Unfortunately I got lazy, busy and then sick in that last month and a half of 2010.  But the first month and a half of 2011 is a whole new story. I started out 2011 sick so there was no going to the gym until today the 5th. A funny thing happened when I first got on the treadmill...it actually felt good. No take that back...it felt great! I did a good half an hour on the treadmill (Hey, I hadn't been at the gym since October!) and then got on the bike for 15 minutes. After the gym I felt so refreshed and I wondered...why don't I do that more often? Megan went to the gym with me and we are going to try to start going a couple of times a week. While at the gym I ran into my old trainer Jacqui who was working out with a client of hers. The client is looking for a partner to work out with and I told Jacqui to give her my number. Hopefully she will call or text me so we can start meeting at the gym! It would be nice to have a couple of people to keep me motivated and accountable in my workout. After leaving the gym I called Adam and told him how good I felt. He was happy for me and is going to start going to the gym too. He was reminding me of the cute clothes that I can buy from my favorite store New York and Company. He knows how much I love shopping so he knew that would really motivate me! So hopefully this keeps me going. I really enjoy writing this blog and having people reading it is pretty cool and having people reading it is keeping me going.

Another goal I have for 2011 is to get my house organized and get some of our major projects finished. Adam and I started buying shelving and storage boxes after Thanksgiving and we have really started to get stuff put together in early December but with Adams new job we have not had a chance to do much lately until today when I started organizing the office. It is nice to have a goal to get organized. The one thing I am not looking forward to is organizing the garage....yikes! But that may have to wait unitl spring when it gets warmer. I will try to keep everyone posted on how this project is going too.

Also in 2011 we are going to try to get out of debt. Adam started a new job at Burger King as an assistant manager and it is going to be a great way for us to get caught up on some bills and Adam has found a career that is going well and I am so proud of him. The only downside is that he is working often and so that leaves me and Wiggles by ourselves often. Which should make it easier to get to the gym after work and I should be more motivated to study when school starts again.

I also am going to try to update my log more often to let everyone know how everything is going.

So that is the start of 2011 here in big 3-0 shape-up world it is shaping up to be a great year so far!
