Resolution Solutions!

All right, so last post I said I didn't have a game plan for my resolutions yet but I'm working on it!

First off, I found a sprint triathlon SERIES that is going to be held in Fernandina Beach...in the wise words of Barney Stinson: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!
I found a good, solid training plan that I will be following, and it's actually an 8-week plan, so I should be ready to compete hardcore after 6 months of training! ;)
I also really like going to the gym on base...let's just say, it's very motivating! hahaha
As long as my schedule stays the way it is now, I'm planning on going on base about an hour and a half before work to squeeze in the gym time.
Fitocracy and MyFitnessPal are going to be my helpful training tools too for logging workouts and meals. Hopefully this training will help me shed those last 8 lbs!

As far as finances go, I'm still working on a perfect spreadsheet for budgeting...it's not quite there yet, but it's getting closer! One thing that I am going to need to invest in for the races is a bike, so I'm going to have to figure that in somehow too...eventually haha

Things have been going great so far and I'm really loving it here; I know it's only been a week, but I love my job, I absolutely love my new apartment, and I LOVE this fresh start!!!
2013 has been pretty good to me so far...let's hope it stays that way! :)

I'm going to start trying to blurb about my training plans each day, so if it gets too annoying just ignore me ;)



PS: This article TOTALLY made my day! Turns out I have a man-magnet car AND dog!!! ;)

New Year, New Home, New Job...NEW LIFE!!!

I had my first day of work today!!! I'm so excited to start with the REAL work, today was just paperwork, training, and orientation...pretty much what this whole week will be. It kills me to know that I won't be able to post the things I'm doing, or tell anybody details, or have any pictures from my time here...but it's pretty amazing knowing what I'm doing and how it helps protect this country :) If you want, you should check out the declassified stuff on Youtube!

Anyway, 2012 was a really rough year...but there were highlights: graduating from UCF with my dual degree, having an internship at Disney for 6 months, landing my dream job here as a marine mammal assistant trainer for SAIC, meeting an army boy who ended my self esteem issues, and having the greatest dog in the world to help me through all of the tough stuff that happened this year :)

Here are my top 3 resolutions for 2013:
1) Get out of credit card debt!!!
2) Lose those last 8 lbs and start toning up!
3) Compete in a sprint triathlon!


Still working on a game plan for all of those...things have been crazy lately with unpacking and trying to get organized and starting this new job. I'm not going to wait for things to settle down to tackle these though....BRING IT ON 2013!!! :)
