Motivation... Gotta get me some!

What no swimsuits?

Seriously, how can any woman on this planet google image "victoria's secret models" and end up feeling motivated? Sobbing into my glass of wine is more accurate.

For as long as I can remember I've looked at pictures of supermodels and celebrities and tried to use them as inspiration and motivation for eating right and working out. Now I realize, if it hasn't worked for me before, why will this year be any different? I need to find my motivation from within this year. And that's what I intend to do.

We recently signed up for a new gym after moving. I am happy to report that I chose going to the gym on a Friday night over booze and buffalo wings. Let this be the beginning of kissing this fat goodbye!

Mwah!

Cabo... Finally!

So, we finally booked a trip to Cabo! I wanted to go this past Christmas but it just didn't work out... Chalk it up to quitting my job for a new one and moving into a new house in the same WEEK in late November!

We were stoked when the resort that Brad's parents have timeshare at (The Grand Mayan) built a resort in Cabo. We were looking for a good deal on airfare and all of a sudden I found a flight for $303! All of the other flights earlier or later in the year were at least $450. We thought it'd be a done deal until Brad's dad called to book it for us and the resort was booked up through next June. Of course, all of the timeshare spots were filled. You can still go on Orbitz right now and pay $$$ and book... So, whatever. We'll be staying at the new Barcelo Los Cabos.

I'm not huge on all inclusives (pretty bad experience in Jamaica last year) but I know that was a resort that we did not choose, and I wouldn't have chosen it on my own. This place has pretty good reviews so far on Trip Advisor so we'll give it a whirl. Plus, I can suck down all I want of those fruity drinks on the beach so... BRING IT ON! (onto my next post about working out and motivation!)

BANGS?

Ever since this summer, I felt like my hair was forcing me to get bangs. Sounds pretty weird, right? All of a sudden I had this weird collick or something that was forcing some of my hair down - like bangs! I had kind of tried some longer bangs earlier in the year but they were growing out and I was planning to continue to grow them out. When I got my hair done last, my stylist asked me if new hairs were growing in. Huh?? It seems some of my long (almost grown out) bangs either broke off or new hair has grown. Now I have this weird spot of shorter bangs on my head.

See what I'm talking about?!
