A New Year..A New Challenge..

First off…Happy New Year!!

Tomorrow night at midnight we will begin a brand spanking new year. New Years is always a time for new beginnings, fresh starts, new goals, plans, and hopes. It’s exhilirating I think.

This year is no different for me. 2008 was a LONG and stressful year, but still very productive for me. On the health and fitness front I completed a BFL Challenge between June 30 and September 21. I lost 27 pounds and 4 pants sizes.

Unfortunately during the time since September 21st I have gained back at least 15 pounds. I’m not terribly worried though. I am all fired up and ready to go for Challenge 1 of 2009, and have planned to do back to back challenges throughout the year with two week breaks between each of them.

I’m not really sure why I stopped doing BFL after I finished the last Challenge. I t hink it had a lot to do with stress, and there being so much going on in my life with my kids and family, but one thing I’ve noticed is that since I stopped BFL my mood has been crappy to say the least. There was really something to all of that clean eating and working out.

Tomorrow night I will be in Austin TX with my husband celebrating New Years and starting on Monday January 5th I am beginning a new Challenge. I’ll be back to posting regularly here about my workouts and thoughts and progress so be sure to stay tuned!!

I’ll be taking a new set of pics, and measurements Sunday evening and I’ll get them posted as soon as I’ve done them.

Happy New Year to all my readers and here’s to making 2009 the best year EVER!!
