Hello 2012!

I love the beginning of the year; setting resolutions, checking to see if you completed your previous year's goals. I find it invigorating.

This year I decided to fire back up my health challenge blog! I'll be going gluten-free (GF) for the entire month of January to kick things off. I have a couple of amazing ladies who will be guest/co-posting. So feel free to stop by my other blog and see what the challenge of the month is.

My other goals for this year are:
Continue my education.
Reach an athletic level of fitness.
Attend yoga at least twice a week.
Learn guitar.
Travel outside of the United States.

What I've done to start my goals:
I'm signed up for classes for the winter quarter and start on the 9th.
I am working on outlining my workout schedule for this month. And tomorrow I will take measurements.
I will be attending yoga classes Wednesday and Friday at my gym.
My brother and I have scheduled guitar lessons via Skype.
I bought my passport.

What are your goals and resolutions for the year?

New Year's Eve 2011

Happy New Year everyone!

Last night Alex and I met Yara and Dustin for an hour in downtown Portland. Downtown was packed and everyone looked fantastic! Later in the evening we headed to my good friend Kristin's house for a Vegas themed party. They had blackjack poker and roulette tables set up. Everyone was given fake money to bet with throughout the night and if you lost all your money you could sing karaoke to earn some back. Kristin is one of those hostesses that thinks of everything and pulls out all the stops. Her parties are always the best and last night was one of my favorites.
