A challenge has been set and accepted

Challenge- To get in shape and look better than my lazy boyfriend, ok that was rude to call him lazy but considering I was challenged to get fit by mid-March it was well warranted.
Participants - A very awesome Jacqueline Joy Ho-Shing and A.J Unger
The bet- If I end up in better shape by mid-March a certain mr. A.J Unger will have to read a Jane Austin novel in its entirety. If I lose I will never mention Jane Austin or bug him to read any books of that nature.
My Strategy- To start daily yoga and running around my neighborhood, I shall win this! Better watch out Unger cause you are going down.
His Strategy- I think he mentioned something about running but I was to busy thinking about how sweet victory is going to be that I didnt really pay attention. Well he does bike so he may have that as an advantage but I am still going to win.
-----
Tomorrow will be my first day getting back into shape and shabam there will be semi-daily most likely weekly updates on my progress of this challenge.

The soon to be fit
Jackie Joy
ps shabammmm!

one hour till boarding

oh dear this vacation was some type of vacation if any could be described a vacation this past winter break vacation was definitely one to remember. stress does horrible things to my memory and i end up forgetting things that i had trained myself so hard not to forget and be organized just goes right out of the window. right now i am at the houston international airport awaiting to board my flight back to el paso, oh dear just 5 more full semesters give or take if i end up taking summer courses and i should be done with my bachelors! holy macaroons its pretty exiting to think of the future but i am attempting something new for this new year and new decade (decade is 10 years right...im to lazy to google the accuracy of the whole statement) I am going not over plan and care so much about things i can not control. I was 11 in the beginning of this century and I doubt any plans I made back then was feasible or close to the reality of my limitations that I would end up having in my future.
i sometimes wish i could put el paso next to mcallen and life would be so much easier.
