Kicking my beauty programs into high gear!

Good morning! – it is Monday, we are going to call this Christina’s New Year, as it is time for me to make some resolutions! Not only is my 20th (ugh!!) high school reunion coming up in August, but we have signed up over the weekend to join the Blogonomics Cruise in October, and there is work to be done on ol’ Christina before either of these events can occur. We are speaking mostly of diet and fitness here (I know, yuck), but I am going to beat the war on these Texas skin issues I am having as well.

So let’s start with the bod. As you can probably well imagine (and are you right there with me?), I sit on my duff for probably 80% of the day, right here at the glorious computer. Not so much fitness going on here with me and my pot of coffee! Taking my clues from what I have learned from Dr. Weil’s 8 weeks of Optimum Health, I am going to start this week with a whopping 5 minutes of exercise a day, increasing it a little each week. That’s not much, right? I should be able to pack that in to my very busy schedule.  I am also going to make darned sure I get in my 8 glasses of water a day (coffee does NOT count), plus a few more.
This is sort of funny – back at Christmas, I bought Carmen Electra’s Aerobic Striptease video.  I am too embarrassed to even take the DVD out of the case, much less stick it in and do it.  Ha!  I’m not sure what I am so afraid of, other than the fact that we don’t have a doorbell, and relatives and friends just open the door and come on in.  So, along with my other resolutions, I AM going to get this sucker out of its case and I AM going to do it (will lock all the doors first…lol).  This week.  Either that, or take a walk, each day.  If you would like to try it along with me, the picture at the left is linked to Amazon.com!  C’mon, do it with me, maybe I won’t be so embarassed!

So, as I cruise through MY new year, I am going to talk a little bit more about wellness and fitness than I have in the past – but strictly from the point of view of getting more beautiful, as that is my goal (better health is just a big plus!).  I hope you will join me and kick YOUR beautiful New Year into gear!  And think about coming on the Blogonomics Cruise if you are a blogger yourself, we are going to have great fun, and the price is really nice for a Royal Caribbean cruise!
