I be up in the gym just workin' on my fitness..

I have an 8am appointment with a trainer tomorrow and I. Am. Terrified. It's been 7 years since my days of hard core competition cheerleading and so have gone my days of working out with somone directing me. I also have only been going to the gym for a week now and I haven't been doing that in about 2 years. The last couple of places I've lived had free gyms so I didn't feel the need to pay for one, and I love getting outside for my workouts. I've just missed out on classes and the overall motivation that the girl with the 6-pack on the tredmill next to you can give. What if I can't do what the trainer wants me to? What if I pass out or something? EEEK!





I wouldn't mind looking something like this:





Check out those LEGS!!! Of course at 5"2', this is near impossible. I can dream though :)




You see, I'm not trying to toot my own horn but I was a really great cheerleader (It's ok, you can laugh). I was great with tumbling, stunts, jumps, dance, and I always lead conditioning because my coaches knew I would make it count. I'm really not in awful shape, I'm just not in awesome shape. I want to be in awesome shape. Since I've been out of the gym circut for so long I'm opening the floor to y'all to let me know some classes that you like. I have this thing where if I start a class, I can't walk out & do my own thing even if I seriously hate it. I can't quit anything! I'm so excited to get back in shape, I'm really loving my gym and the fact that it's cheap doesn't hurt either! So here's to tight buns & sculpted arms! I'll report back on how my little adventure with the P.T. goes. And you guys, send prayers!

New Year, New Me.... Really this time

It's a new year, and a new decade! Some people get really excited for a new year to click over but not this gal. For some reason I feel like things get so hectic and crazy that the last month of one year fly by and the first couple months of the next do the same and we wake up one day in spring. We've not upheld ourselves to any resolutions or plans we've made and then we feel bad about it. So normally I try to take the aproach of just constantly bettering ME and not waiting for a new year to do it. This year, however, is slightly different. Change is a comin' for me and I need to get ready. In a mere 21 weeks I'll be getting married. (GULP) Not a gulp because of the person I'm marrying or the act of being married so much as the wedding day! There is so much to do and so little time. Every time I turn around someone brings to my attention something else I haven't even thought about & I go "Oooohhhh". I kind of just want to throw on my dress and my super cute shoes and let someone else finish all the "fluffy stuff". I'm a bit of a minimalist so it's hard for me to check the ADD for a second and get the details taken care of. I don't really want to make a big fat "resolution" but I've got to weather I like it or not so I can make this day complete. I know in the end I'll be happy I did because Ernie and I deserve dangit! Every blog I do won't be about wedding stuff, promise. It's just a big part of my life so it's an easy place to start. This blog will be a place you can come check out everything from hair advice, style I love, tales of hilarity, and give me advice. I'm open to feedback & blog ideas so please let me know what you want to read about!
