February

This month, this year is going to be filled with lots of emotions. But until the time comes, I'm trying to not focus on it. What I have been focusing on is me and doing good for me. I finished my 4 weeks of boot camp yesterday. We had a circuit that involved jumping jacks, squats, push ups etc and in between each thing we had to run laps. We got timed our first week and I was a bit under the weather so it was even harder for me. I came in at 9:57 minutes and this time, on our last day, I came in at 7:57--exactly two minutes under. I was SUPER excited. Today I meet the instructor for my follow up "measurements" and % body fat--very interested in those results. I'm definitely going to sign up again--thinking of giving myself Feb to regroup and try to maintain some of the exercises I've learned and then join again in March, we'll see.

Last night a few co-workers and I got out of work on time to head to one of the near by hotel rooftop bars and take in the sunset, boy was it a beautiful one so I wanted to share it here. Then we hit a happy hour with some other work peeps. Good times but I was so tired from the conclusion of boot camp, I hit the sheets early. This weekend I'm prepping to have a little superbowl gathering--despite kinda liking Pittsburgh I'm just not too into the game this year. But it will be fun to host and have lots of yummy food etc. Should be good. Just means I gotta head out and do lots of food shopping and get my apt in order! Busy Busy.

That's all for now. I'm sure you'll hear from me this week or certainly over next weekend. Rest assured that I have some things planned with friends and will be surrounded by much love and support. I'm ready to face this milestone of one year, and just like everything else, life will continue to move along.
