babies vs me ... "me" wins in 2011

Everyone in the whole world seems to be having babies .. except me of course. OK, maybe not everyone, but a lot of ya'll are!!

I've never dreamt about being a mom. It's not like I don't want children, it's just that I don't want one right now. Don't get me wrong, I know I would be an awesome mom and rockstar would be an equally awesome dad, but right now we're good with 2 cats and a dog. And now that we have a Thailand trip in the horizon, we're looking at least a year until we even think about trying for children. Key word there ... "think".

Now, before I go into my kids may never be for me rant, I'm going to shift gears... me!

I'm ready to focus 2011 on giving back to me. I've talked about 352 times about getting back into shape, but this time I mean it. Sure I want to look smokin' hot in my Thailand pics, but I also want be able to say "I was in great shape .. then you came along" to any maybe-babies.

I want to look so smokin' hot that Greg Tjepkema can take WICKED yoga pics of me to add to his fabulous dancer portfolio AND not be forced to photoshop all of my flab.

I want to step up my yoga practice from none to lots, and be able to accomplish all the poses I can't execute due to lack of practice and lots of "love" (aka fat).

So day 1 starts tomorrow where I plan to:

1. Eat better - I like meat, so no vegan-lifestyle (Robin) ... just less crap
2. Running - I talked to my boss at Dog Pawsitive about learning how to run with one of our pups 3 times a week. Maybe one day I'll be able to run without crying!! This starts Monday 
3. Turbo Jam - I love this workout!! Anyone else try it? Last time I did this I got immediate results and even tossed around the idea about becoming certified. This starts tomorrow targeting 3 times a week
4. Yoga - not only for my practice but to keep up on material for the classes I teach. This starts Sunday with a target of 2 times a week (plus 2 - 3 teaching classs each week)

Yep, 2011 is all about me, so consider yourself warned!!
