2011!

Happy new year! What a great start to the year by ringing it in at my favorite spot in the world- London, England! I'm feeling very confident that this is THE year. The year I become healthier and whole lot happier with my body, mind and soul. Ohh them some heavy words yo.. lol

Determination combined with motivation. Resolutions... well, for one I have decided to be more social and have opened myself BACK into the social networking world. I cherish my privacy and my alone-ness however, if I don't open myself up I am going to turn into a hermit. And I don't want that. My last trip to Europe a few weeks ago has really got me thinking about things. I was (and have been) to the most beautiful destinations in the world feeling so crappy. How can you fully enjoy life and your surroundings when you feel so large. It sounds vain but it can really damage you emotionally. And I'm so tired. I'm exhausted. I'm ready for this change.

Two- I joined a 3 month Biggest Loser competition at work. The crew has been great and supportive of each other. We lost over 30lbs combined in the first week! I've decided to start a 1 week commitment to go to the gym every morning this week. I miss sitting in the sauna day dreaming about my life in 5 wait- 4 years. Which leads to just that...

Three- My now 4 year plan. This plan is where my strongest determination lies. I am deeply passionate about my goal. I have so much planning and research to do. It's something I enjoy doing and something that makes me feel good. (see my 5 year plan blog for more info).

I feel good.
I'm ready.
Let's do this!
