Happy New Year

So, here I go with my first blog! Lets start with some background - last summer I realized (with some horror) that I would be turning 40 in April of 2010. Now, I'm your average 39 year old, mother of 2 who works full time. Between the hockey and gymnastics, walking the 2 dogs, finding time for my husband and I, and keeping house there was really little time for me to look after me!

The thought of turning 40 was frightening but what was more frightening was the fact that I had opted to celebrate this momentus event with a trip to the Dominican Republic! At first this sounded wonderful until I found myself imagining myself in my bathing suit - EEEeeekkkk!

I was lucky enough to have found a group of girls (especially Shanan seen above in this picture) at the office to workout with, and a personal trainer (you'll hear more about Laurissa later!) who met with us three lunch hours a week. Its been a blast so far, I love pushing myself and watching the changes in my body. And now, here I am 6 months of working out and eating properly (most of the time) with only 4 months until I hit the beach!

That's it for tonight.
