New Year's Determination

"Congratulations, you've just finished FIRM Complete Aerobics and Weightlifting."

Those are some of the most beautiful words I've ever heard. I love to workout, I really do. But it's tiring & it takes commitment. And I admit, I have slacked on that commitment lately.

But when I came home for Christmas Break, I vowed that I would slack no more! I began working out again. My goal was 3 times a week, plus daily dog walking. Well..it's been twice a week successfully, but that's still an improvement from this whole semester.

Finishing the FIRM Complete Aerobics and Weightlifting video was one of the most challenging things I've ever done. It's frustrating to know that you used to be able to do something with skill, ease, and grace, and now find yourself panting & sweating and feeling as far from grace as humanly possible.

But I pressed on. And I completed that video.

And afterward, I felt empowered. Yes, it was grueling. Yes, it sucked. Yes, if anyone had seen me doing that workout I would have felt ashamed. But I no longer care.

Cuz you know what? Life is hard. It doesn't always come so easy. But I will keep going. I'm going to be strong and fight hard because I am determined to come out on top of whatever challenges await me.

So look out you hatas in 2010! Angie Caswell is a fighter! So get on my level or get outta my way!
