Promises. Week 3

If you can't keep the ones you make to yourself, then who can you really be true to?

At the end of this week I'll put up a little pic stitch of the food intake just to give an over view. But let's just say it's been good so far :)

So Monday AM I couldnt do my work out as I had people coming around to look at things, and I had to look with them and yada yada yada... but all done now so I can get back to business... which is ME :)

New year, New Beginnings

Hi Blog,

I know , I know, I know... I'm not gonna do the whole... @ aah, ive been away for so long, time to start again thing'..

2013 has arrived! We flip a new page, new chapter.. hell, lets just throw away the old book and get a new one! DONE ! Boom!

New book   - Hello!

I'm in lethargic mode at the moment unfortunately, but I have two rocks inside me trying to hit each other so they can ignite that little spark, that fire that'll get that motivation up and running again..
I'm kinda still buzzing off of everything I did in 2012 , so many trips and so many accomplishments...
Proud year - this year won't be any less.
One step at a time.

I have 2 challenges today - Spinning and Pilates.

Uuurgghh... it's like I get heavy just typing that... I know so bad.

I'll find motivation, It's there somewhere...

In the meantime - my weekend was lovely, got to spend some quality time with friends, eat, dance, sing, do some major declutterification and also make new friends.

What more can you ask for..... oh yea, motivation for gym lol.. COME TO MEEE PLEEEEAAASEEE!!!!! Frustratedddddddd... That's what I am, I will go, but i'm annoyed at myself as to why I'm not feeling excited about it yet?
Is this what lazy is? IS IT?!?!!?
Omg. It's not. Watch me.. WAAATCH ME!

Anywho - January is always slightly subdued, so in the mellow spirit I thought I'd share a super romantic page.. well romantic in the sense that his poems are so achingly full of love. Sad , love at times but still, so much LOVE. http://tylerknott.com/
So If you wanna read about sad love, and love, and poems... drop by. I mean that in me most positive way by the way.

Ok, first blog of the year... Exciting start. Very Excitng.

I do.

Peace love and Healthy snacks MWAH!
