Failure Is Not An Option

I began working out in earnest 3 weeks ago. It's been a challenge and yet such a good thing, because the workouts are scheduled for me. I don't have to think about it, but it also means I can't flake out. I'm noticing a difference in my body. Something the trainer said in a couple of the workouts really stuck with me and that is "Failure is not an option." I think I've always viewed getting healthy and other important areas in my life as though failure were an option and not a completely horrible option at that. But I have a new motto. :) I'm getting ready to finish my first round of a program called Body Gospel, then I'm going to start P90X, which is a pretty popular program and has seen lots of results. I'm really excited about that!

Well, the point of my blog has never been to be completely deep introspective posts that sometimes verge on the dark. As it seems that's all I've been posting for the past month, it's definitely time for a look on the bright side!


The other night, my niece stayed over and we did all sorts of girly stuff. We went and got "coffee", rented movies and bought snacks. Then we came home and watched said movie, ate said snacks, painted our nails and put our hair up in curlers. Can I just tell you that I absolutely love being an Auntie? It's all of the fun. As I don't want children for multiple years (not to mention the whole being married thing, lol), this is definitely the best "fix" in the world. I'm a fan. :)

I finally managed to get the last of my DTS photos onto my computer. Soon I will finish editing and then I will put some of my favorites here. :)
