Wait... You mean that was Christmas?

Sweet zombie hitler it's 2011. Christmas for the most part of it was dull, New Years was dull, but the days in between and thereafter have been amazing. Simply because I've amped up my weight training and already in just a couple of weeks am finding strength that I only had before my car accident in 2007 (neck and upper back), and my lower back injury in 2008. My ankle is getting there slowly too, though given that I had almost abandoned the hope of squatting the same weight that I did 3-4 years ago, there's still a chance that I can work on my ankle strength and stability too. Maybe by then end of 2011 I'll be able to do weighted lunges while carrying the weight I used to prior to the ankle injury.

I'm already feeling good about this year. Teaching RPM has done wonders for me, and I love it when the members tell me at the end of class "Phew, that was hard!" or "Awesome class!" and my favourite... "When you said 'halfway' I was about to get off the bike and smack you." Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Blogging will be sporadic. But just know that I hold you guys dearly in my heart and it's undoubtedly because of your support that I have found my happy place.

Love you guys!!

Well for me the days in between was dull but new years was amazing since I did a lot of eating. As you look back on 2010 I look forward to 2011 so I can start my exercise. Yeah!

WillJogForFood - Sorry to hear that you didn't have the best Christmas & New Years, but just as well it's behind us now right? :)

metabolic mack - Thank you, me too! Hope you have a great 2011 also!

Wireless Printer - Ahhh, I didn't indulge much at all on Christmas and New Years; especially New Years, I was sitting at a computer by myself! Being on call is kinda suckful, bah! Have a great 2011!

Hi I was looking up sites for weight loss support blogs and I came across your blog I too am hoping to make 2011 a better year.

I'm on day 2 of making changes with my diet/lifestyle etc so I too know what a struggle it is..every year I make the same resolution and by the 10th ive failed so i just give up.

I hope we can keep in touch good luck with your changes!

Joanne, Fast Weight Loss - Thank you for stopping by! Just to be clear, weight loss isn't a priority for me, but all of the best with your goals!

Glad to see someone else with another helpful blog! I know a lot of people here in South Florida that love RPM classes. Just like you I have been out of commission for awhile due to a car accident (neck and lower spine). As soon as they clear me its back to working out. Good thing I have my eating under control or I would look just terrible.

wow, teaching RPM sounds like so much fun!! What a way to keep in shape! Keeping fit and getting paid for it! Yes, that is the life! I love jumping on my mini trampoline and I would love it of I could get paid for teaching others how to do it - hey maybe I should look into that!
