Introduction Text My favorite quote comes from William James... "To Change Ones Life... Start Immediately... Do It Flamboyantly... No Exceptions." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am fully committed to the following: NO more EXCUSES NO Whining about things NOT under my control NO Feeling sorry for myself NO Eating crap...AGAIN...NO MORE EATING CRAP!!! NO More putting everyone else before Me all the time NO More power given to my X NO More "I'm too sore to workout" NO More "I'll do it tomorrow"...or "next week" THE TIME IS NOW!!! It is right in front of me...it is within my grasp, my power and most of all... my mind. I am in a race to save my own life and I will let NO ONE especially MYSELF get in the way of my goals.

NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost."

My goal is to be consistent with my workouts and to eat portion controlled regular meals. Because I work such a crazy variety of schedules I find it very difficult to stay on track.

LAFitness ROCKS...they are a great facility and are on my way to and from work. I use elliptical's and ST. I also am babysitting my sisters treadmill for the winter and use the ball, handweights and videos at home. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to swim but it is too dang cold to go outside with wet hair right now :( ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I started a virtual walk to Yellowstone National Park Jan 1st with Time_2_Shine & Chiloverinaz ...it is approx 1000 miles for each of us and we are determined to meet there by Jan 2011. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DATE~Wks Tot~Yrly Total 1/1-1/5......7 ~~~7 1/6-1/12.....15.5~22.5 1/13-1/19....19.75~~~42.25 1/20-1/26.... 35.63~~77.88 1/27-2/2..... 26.5 ~~104.38 2/3-2/9...... 15.25~119.63 (sick Wk) 2/10-2/16.... 21.5~ 141.13 2/17-2/23...18.75~~159.88 2/24-3/2.....22~~~~181.88 3/3-3/9..... 17.5~~~199.5 3/10-3/16.... 18~~~217.5 3/17-3/23.... 18.5~~236 3/24-3-30.... 17~~~253 3/31-4/6.... 16.5~~269.5
