As 2010 draws to an end, we find ourselves thinking of those New Year's resolutions - well, at least I do. :) I stopped the "I'm going to get in shape this year" resolutions years ago. I'm in great shape now so don't need to make a resolution, but also, it always ended up not working out. Years later, I realize that being fit and choosing to be healthy is a lifestyle. It's not a short term diet, or "this year" type of thing - it's a lifelong commitment made to yourself, to take care of yourself and put your health on the priority list.
So, what would my resolution be then? I was thinking of it today as I was driving home from work. It's simple. I promise to take better care of my skin. :) I'm going to make an appointment with a dermatologist for the beginning of the year, and develop a good skin regimen to keep my skin young and healthy looking. That's it! Haha - hope you weren't waiting for something really inspiring! :)
There are some other big things coming up in 2011, but they are not resolutions - some honors, some committments, and some just "plans".
For starters, I'm going to be in a national magazine!! I'm going to keep the anticipation high, so I won't tell you which one just yet. :) I haven't officially announced it since I'm not 100% sure it's going to happen. It's a 99% thing at the moment. It will be a small feature on my "story" from losing weight after having Kira to competing. I'm overwhelmed with excitement over it, so be looking for that in the early months of 2011. :)
I also decided to move my next competition back a month. I was planning to compete in the WBFF Fitness Atlantic in Connecticut this coming April. That would mean prep would have to begin mid-to-late-January, and be in full swing in February. No big deal, however, that's when Enrique comes home. I'd really like to be able to spend time with him and really be able to enjoy each other without having competition prep to worry about. So, I started checking the other competitions with WBFF that are pro-qualifiers, and guess what I found?? May 21st in KANSAS CITY! That's right! I almost fell out of my seat! :) That gives me an extra month of "off season" so I can spend time with my honey, and it's in KC so I don't have to worry about hotel, and the best part is I'll have my family and friends there to support me. That's my show!
My training will also be changing a little in the new year, but I'll get into that more later. :)
That's it so far! A big year coming up and I'm very excited!
Over the next two weeks though, I'm going to enjoy some quality time with family and friends, embrace the holidays, and have a couple reward meals! :)) Have a Merry Merry Christmas! Until next year...
