NEW YEAR, NEW ME!!!!

Hola D3 Fam -
HAPPY NEW YEAR! This new year means so much to me. It's gonna be my year. I'm determined to finally be healthy and happy. I don't where this strength is coming from, but I feel so happy and proud of this amazing journey.

It sure has not been easy though. The holidays were torture. Everywhere I turned, temptation was there especially at the darn office!!!! The seducing buttered popcorn smell in the air, fried chicken, chinese food, Fannie Mae chocolates and holiday cookies sent by clients - MAN OH MAN. Every time temptation struck, I reached for my delicious, nutritious Honeycrisp apple and devoured it. My Mom and I have an annual Christmas tradition of making delicious tamales with the most delicious shredded pork in green and red sauce but this year, we agreed to skip the tradition. That would've been extreme torture for me to have the tamales in my face. Christmas was just not the same. In the past, I remember stuffing my face as soon as they were ready - mmmmmmmmmmm. And then having more in the morning with a tasty hot chocolate. NOPE - NOT THIS YEAR. As hard as it has been, I know that these sacrifices will pay off. Gotta stay strong.

We've all heard about the show BIGGEST LOSER. I read somewhere that their mantra is BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. TRUST THE PROCESS. CHANGE FOREVER. These words have really struck me and gives me hope and motivation. Don't you agree that this a strong statement? I mean WOW!!!

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and encouragement. How bleeping awesome is our D3 family? We all care about each other. We miss each other when someone misses class. We are all trying to become better people and work hard on our fitness. I'm so proud of us all!!!!

Month 1 down - LET'S DO THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's make 2011 our best year ever.
