I wasn't planning on making any huge resolutions for the coming year. In fact, it was mostly supposed to be more of the same... spend less money/mind the budget better, come up with better systems to keep the house tidier, do less nagging...
That is until I uploaded some holiday photos and happened upon one where I'm the FATTEST person in the picture. Normally, this wouldn't have phased me much except that the other two people in the picture JUST HAD FULL TERM BABIES within the past 12 weeks...
Insistent that I was just being hyper self-critical or it was just a bad angle or something, I clicked through a few more photos from that same evening...
Umm... nope, unfortunately I really am a LARD ASS and something must be done about it. I'm not to only one to think so either. On Christmas Day, I opened up a "Body Minder Workout and Exercise Journal" from my personal-trainer-to-the-stars sister-in-law. She meant well, but the message was loud and clear...
Hmmm, looks like there's room for one more resolution...and NO, I will not be posting the photo online.
Will anyone else be rockin' it at the gym with me in '08?

I am resolving to get more organised and eat better...... read move my fat arse and lay off the chocolate....
Happy New Year!!! *snort*
You made me laugh. I resolve to laugh more this year. But not at the gym. Too lazy.
Already working on the whole "move my lard ass" thing!
I won't be rockin' the gym, but I am resolving to move daily. Be it a walk, a exercise video, or just some yoga/pilates. I need to move; that's my resolution.
Happy New Year to you and yours, too!
I would like to find the time and energy and a happy baby in the gym day care for 2008. Good luck to your resolution and happy new year!
I've joined and bailed on so many gym memberships. I'm pretty sure I'm on some secret gym blacklist somewhere which will surely prevent me from joining one ever again.
Oh, I am all over being healthier in '08...Check out workoutmommy.com, she has great everyday ways to work, working out into your daily routines...I think you'll like it. I love her site!
