Hello 2008!
Ty and I rang in the New Year with Johnathon & Glorimar at The Sunset Grill but we actually spent most of the evening at the Joshi household with some Chinese take-out and champagne (nothing but high class for us :) So I am sitting here thinking about how it's a new year and what an awesome year 2007 was. Yesterday when I was at the gym all I could think about was how great I felt and how important health and fitness is to me. (And of course I write this as I am sitting here in my bathrobe at noontime, having stayed up really late, having consumed more bubbly than H20, and having had more than my share of MSG! :) All that aside though, I hope to increase my level of fitness this year and become a stronger person, both physically and mentally. Some of you may know that I have been thinking/talking about my questionable future in nursing. I do enjoy my job, but I also feel a passion towards helping others get fit. I want to work with people who are interested in taking care of themselves by getting fit. I cannot see myself taking care of folks who eat/drink/smoke their way into an early grave for the rest of my career. And to be very honest, and I say this only b/c I care, but there are family members on both the Archibald & Johnson sides that are at a higher risk of heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, and cancer b/c of certain choices. One thing that is important to Ty and I is family. He just recently reiterated the fact that one thing he found very attractive about me when we were dating was that I was close with my family. We only have one body for the rest of your life and we should all try and do the best we can for it. Having said all that, I am thinking about getting my personal training certification. And I am going to try and take better care of myself in 2008....(are you with me Ty? :) I think that means that you and I are going to the dentist together ...I'll make the appointments ;)
