Aaaallll by myself

Yep, just like the Celine Dion song.  I know it has been ages, but guess what? My muscles are still there!!  I'm guessing they are much smaller/weaker with a good amount of added adipose tissue (aka fat for all of those non-sciencey people).  But good news: I think I might actually have a little self-motivation swimming around somewhere deep, very deep, down inside. Erika, that means I went to work out without anyone asking/hinting/dragging me.  Although my roommates swear they will one day, I'm on my own when it comes to hitting the gym.  We've started a little competition, and I'm bound and determined to not be fat/win (I would love to be the hot roommate).  I'm tired of being that girl that is cute but could be beautiful if she lost 20 pounds.  Yesterday I weighed in at...169. And yes, I winced.  But I've decided that I want certain things by the time I'm 23 and I better start now or none of them will come about.  (I have just under 6 months.)

First things first, gym time is no longer an option--like class.  I wouldn't skip class, so why would I skip something that benefits me even more?  Plus, I've notice that there are quite a few cute guys at the gym and I haven't been seeing any wedding bands... I'm just sayin' so stop judging! A girl's got to do all she can when she's constantly surrounded by 80 other girls all week!!  Well, I'm off to go study for my mrs, I mean class.  So if any of my sisters want to chime in anytime soon, it would be great to hear from you.
