Dancing away the pounds!

"I can think of nothing less pleasurable than a life devoted to pleasure." - John D. Rockefeller

So yesterdays post was dedicated to my past. Who I was and why I decided to do what I am doing now. From now on all my posts are going to be dedicated to now, what I am doing and what I plan on achieving. I will do my best to put a post up each day, and to help me remember to do this, I bought a mini calendar with a new positive quote each day. Hence the Rockefeller quote!

It's a new year and I'm going to be a new me. To help me be a new "Me" I went a little crazy with my bank account and got some new gear for working out. I've already put it into good use as well and let the dancing pro's of Dancing with the Stars teach me how to do the Cha-Cha... and let me tell you... Oooowww!

I know I will get better with time. But today was such a pain. I am much weaker than I thought and wasn't as quick as I had hoped. But with practice and lots of stretching, I know I will get there soon. So watch out! This girl plans on dancing her butt off.... Literally!

I also bought some hand weights that I plan to utilize with the Jillian Michaels "30 day shred" as well as to take with me on my walks to add more of a challenge. The only thing I lack to make my walks even better are some upbeat tunes, that aren't "Glee", and headphones! So I am happily taking any suggestions on music to keep me moving, as well as any idea's on songs that I can use as my own personal theme.

A wonderful family friend of mine, Sharon Meagher, posted a video on my Facebook wall with a song that I absolutely LOVE. But I don't know if I necessarily want to copy that guys idea to have "Fix You" be my theme... I may end up just adopting it anyways because it's beautiful.

I want to take a moment to thank all of you for your support and love. You have no idea how much I appreciate everything I've been reading, here on this blog as well as on my Facebook and my mothers as well. You are all so amazing and I am proud to let you into a little part of my life, to share the struggles I am going through as well as the hurdles I'm jumping. Thank you all again and I hope that this post didn't disappoint!
