Yes, it's true. I'm guilty. Guilty of being one of those people who hit up the gym for their New Year's resolutions. You know, the one all the regular attending gym folk hate. Fret not fellow gym goers, I am not at the gym to get my old rocking body back, although that will happen (watch out boys). The reason I am going is to prepare for my vacation in May. It wont be a leisurely vacation where I am flaunting my bikini bod but instead it will be a hike up a mountain. What mountain you might ask? Macchu Pichu. The goal is to not spend my vacation sucking wind all the way to the top. What I want is to be able to enjoy all the beautiful scenery that Peru has to offer, while simultaneously looking good. What can I say, mixed motives. The point, get used to seeing my red, puffy face at the gym working up a mean sweat.

Heading into 2012 I made a list of things I hoped to accomplish throughout the year. Let's just say 2012 wasn't THE year. However, I managed to do some things but not others and instead of feeling like a failure I am just going to take that list and expand upon it. Things don't always go according to plan or how you envisioned it but it's good to set hopes/goals and give yourself a direction to head, even if the direction takes you off the beaten path. With that said I hope for the same things I did last year but with a few new additions and subtractions.
