6 Week Get-Fit Challenge: Let's Get Started, Shall We?

*insert scared face here*

So, here it begins. An actual documentation of a fitness challenge.

:O

I'm a wee tad bit scared. Scared of failing. Sacred of *copping out*. Scared of my own personal laziness. It always starts out with fear, doesn't it?

I think that's why we do these challenges, as human beings. Because there is something in us that wants to overcome that fear and to accomplish a little milestone and say, "ya, I did it. Heck yes!"

And documenting it? Well, that is just going to make me all the more committed. Right? Right? *insert me nodding my head vigoriously*

Now I'm not set out to climb Everest or run a marathon or surf the waves of Hawaii... My goals are pretty simple. Eat better. Train harder. And fit into The Evil Capri's. And I'm gonna take six weeks, commit myself to this little challenge & just. do. it. {Does Nike still have that trademarked? Whoops.}

I'm pumped actually. Why, you might ask? Check out this gorgeous gal below:

Everybody, meet Annamarie!

Annamarie, meet my blog!

*hi, hi, mummur, mummur, nice to meet you, hi there, hello, mummur*

Now that small talk is out of the way..

*whispers*

{oh, one more thing: um, are those not the cutest sandals ever?? I thought they deserved a close up.. ok, that's it.. carry on..}

This is my fitness buddy! I am beyond excited about this! We are going to be each other's cheerleader's and motivator's and each other's *punch in the arm*... obviously, that last bit was not meant to be taken literally. Especially if Annamarie takes up kickboxing. Then there will be no punching of anyone's arms *waves white flag*

:)

We are going to keep in contact via email and texing, as we do live in separate cities. And she is also going to do a couple of guest posts on here about her journey through this challenge, what she wants to accomplish and how she does it all with two kids and a husband! Whew! You go, girl! :)

So stayed tuned!! There will be so much motivation pouring out of this blog, it will make you want to... paint your house!.... or trim the hedges!.... or some other nasty task you've been putting off!... maybe...?

You know. Or not. *ahem*

Oh and FYI:

Official Start Date: Monday, May 30, 2011 (my parents anniversary, BTW!! 30 years!)

Official End Date: Monday, July 11, 2011

See you tomorrow all!
