Agghhh! So I'm so excited I can barely contain all of my thoughts right now!
For some reason, I am really just super stoked about this new year, and all the new changes I get to make. Not that I couldn't have made changes before, but what a great excuse to force myself to get started! I think it all started this morning when I got my hair cut. In high school I had a really edgy, short haircut that basically rocked; however, when I went to college I just never found any hairstylist capable of re-creating that masterpiece. Fortunately, I came home just in time to see good ole Penny-the-Great, and got another, different kick-ass haircut. Now I'm just on a roll about making changes and becoming a super-person!
One thing I'm definitely going to commit myself to this semester is getting in shape. I have very little restraint and will-power, so most of my attempts at diet and exercise generally fizzle out by the time I either get bored or think I have better ways to spend my time. This time is legit though. I found this super cool (free) website (www.sparkpeople.com), which helps you to track your diet, exercise, and progress, and helps you along the way with things like meal plans, workouts, and other features to make sure you succeed. They also have a separate website that has all sorts of healthy, low budget recipes (heaven!). I signed up today, and I'm all about taking advantage of both the online version, and the iPhone app. Completely THRILLED! ALSO, I'm a member of the YMCA in Bethlehem, and I'm really excited about taking advantage of all of the workout classes this semester. Hello, zumba, cardio core, cardio boot camp, 15/15/15, and kettle bells! I've already programmed them into my Google Calendar. Dorky? Perhaps. But, if those kids on "I Used to Be Fat" can do it, I can too. ;)
Oh, and did you hear me mention "iPhone app" in that last paragraph? Yep, that's right. I've graduated to iPhone status. This promotion could not have been possible without my brother Dustin's generous donation of his 2 year old iPhone 3g to the Beth fund. Ahh... You thought I won the lottery? Nope. Still poor. But happy, nonetheless! I am responsible for paying for the additional monthly fees for the magical (yet slower-than-iPhone4) contraption, but I think it's worth it. I've already downloaded tons of awesome, useful apps (free, of course). It feels like Christmas all over again when I click that "install" button.
Ahh, what else?! I feel like there's so much to say and it's all bouncing around in my head. Yes, so Mary Kay. I signed my agreement to be a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant in August, and I've been learning and working for the past few months to build my business. At first it was slow, but I am really encouraged by the start of 2011. I had a party on January 3rd at my Aunt Joan's house, and sold over $560 worth of product! I've already completed the January challenge, and will be getting a nice ring at the end of the month! :) I just need to keep this up, and I'll be golden.
