About Me

I grew up in Texas. I met the love of my life in college. I didn't realize he was the love of my life until 10 years later!!! We are having an amazing life together. I couldn't ask for more! We have a lab mix named Chance. We rescued him from a local Humane Society. We are currently living in Boston.We miss Texas & our family and friends very much. I love my Mexican food! I have to have it every time we are in Texas.

Why wait?

In less than a month people are going to make a New Year's resolution. The number 1 (or close to it) resolution for most people is to get in shape. Every year most people say this is year! So, why wait and have a crowded gym to go to? DO IT NOW!! Make it an early Christmas present for yourself. I will say that I have been in and out of the gym that my apartment has for a year. I don't go consistently, and couldn't figure why it was so hard to go, when all I had to do was go downstairs. Right before I got married, I told myself I wanted to lose 20 pounds and just couldn't motivate myself. I found out about this boot camp. (http://www.jcfbootcamp.com/) It was offered at 7 pm and not far from the apartment. I liked this for a few reasons. One I'm not a morning at all and two it got me to leave my apartment. I fell in love with it! It was more like circuit training and it wasn't in a musty old gym with all this equipment that I'm not sure if I'm using right! I also felt I was being held accountable for being there, when no one was going to hold me accountable for going on that treadmill. Well, I wanted to do more than just two days a week, so I did some research and found a gym that offers classes! (http://www.clubhfitness.com/) I have gone 3 days in a row, but I am leaving town, so I am going to miss a few days and I'm actually upset about it!
I know many of you are probably wishing you could get tone or lose a few pounds. Try going to classes and see if you like to work out. I realized that exercise equipment actually scares me because I don't know if I'm doing it right and I don't feel like I worked out. SO--if you're New Year's resolution is to get off your couch, FIND A CLASS! And for those of you that have kids, my gym has a supervised kiddie area that is included in your membership! I also only signed up for a 3 month membership because I didn't want to feel like I was locked in for a year if I didn't like the classes. I hope this gives some of you motivation to go try a few classes. Also if you think it's expensive, think of it this way: My membership is $139/month, but if I go to 20 classes a month, that's $6.95 a class. (Going to 5 classes a week) See not so bad when you look at it that way!
My goal is to go to a class everyday...that's why twice this week I went at lunch...oh & if you have a friend that wants to do it, it is more motivation!
