Welcome, 2012!

Happy New Year!

I wanted New Years Day to be a day full of my favourite things/people and so . . .
1. I slept in
2. I had a great workout at the gym.
3. I got to see my trainer, Mike, and catch up about the holidays.
4. I went rollerblading in shorts around the neighbourhood.
5. I watched football ALL DAY!
6. I sat around colouring pictures, making workouts, drinking espresso, and now writing on my blog.
7. Oh and I finished the series of the OC. What a great series! Well, not really but it's addicting.

I am looking forward to the future year of 2012. 2011 was an interesting year and so anything could happen. Here's a quick recap of 2011 . . .
- I became a personal trainer and started my job at the Steve Nash Sports Club in White Rock
- which means I quit my 1.5 year long job at Starbucks in February
- I decided to start bodybuilding in May and began my 6 month journey
- I moved from my apartment to my coach house in Langley with Elisha in March
- I trained, and trained and trained and trained
- I competed in women's heavyweight bodybuilding at the Sandra Wickham Fall Classic on Nov 12 and finished 5th

Now it's January, a month I really do enjoy and will enjoy even more now because I am going to be so busy at work. New Year's Resolutions baby! Speaking of which, here are some of my GOALS for the New Year . . . (things I have already started on, so they aren't resolutions)
1. Win my show in Kelowna on May 19th
2. move into Morgan Crossing condos right by my work
3. learn more personal training exercises, techniques, equipment/ get more certifications
4. take better care of myself. For example, actually doing my hair once in awhile, not putting it in a messy bun all the time (my hairdresser made me promise:)), brushing teeth/face before bed, and being better prepared for the next day's work
5. do plyo pushups and more than 1 pull-up
6. hang out with people more - increase the socializing

Now these also aren't resolutions because I have plans on how to accomplish each of these in a timely, measurable and tangible and fashion. Other ones that might need to be put on there would include digging into the WORD deeper, praying with fervency, and lastly, perhaps becoming a firefighter.
