Resolution: Best shape in '08

Okay so I have never been an athletic person - never been a real thin person either. But I'm turning 30 this month *ack* (*note: see sweet little story below) So I decided - why not make my goal this year to be in the best shape of my life? Why NOT? I can totally do it, right? My light bulb came on when I was doing an ab workout last week. The instructor said, "You're never too old to have the abs you want - just keep working out and eating right." Now I'm not saying that 30 is *so old* what I'm saying is, why not now?

I have a really hard time aging! I was 19 years old when I started working at the firm - the baby of the office! Now, 10+ years later there are attorneys younger than me *gasp* I guess I somehow thought I'd always be a cute young thang *ha* so, even though I can't do anything about aging, I can do something about how I look, right? So that's what I intend to do - something!

*now for story time: Yesterday at church we were talking about birthdays and I told my Beehives that I'm turning 30 this month. A couple of them started cracking up...I mean seriously laughing as if I just told the funniest joke ever! (keep in mind they are giggly 12-13 year olds!) I was like, what the heck? Why are you laughing at me? They said they couldn't believe I was turning 30 - you look like you're 20! Ahhh...another reason why I LOVE my girls! I love them - I love them ALL!

Oh Cari! lol you're so funny! Good for you though, I mean seriously! I want to start working out too! I'm just WAY too lazy! Maybe I'll crack out that pregnancy workout dvd you sent me! :) But I really hope the best for ya, I know you can do it!

You really do look young! Remember that picture of us sisters at my wedding and how everyone said you looked younger than me! Keep that in mind!

I am the same way about exercise! I've never been athletic and had difficulty sticking to my plans. I work out for a bit, don't see any results, then quit. Blech, what's a girl to do?!

You are very lucky to have such a youthful look. You are way darling.

How's the workout program going?
