Boot Camp... Not Army Style

I am still just so excited to see what 2014 will bring. And it's a bonus that I haven't even gone back to work yet. Tomorrow is the day, but still... I've tried to make the most of my vacation and I certainly am more relaxed now that I was a couple of weeks ago. School starts again tomorrow, though, and for once, I'm feeling refreshed and kinda ready to go back. I figure from here on out, we are always one day closer to summer vacation... Woo hoo!

Anyhow, today I am really late on the link-up over at Happy Is a Choice but it's all about getting fit, feeling confident, and being healthy.

I've made it quite clear that my goal this year is to run a marathon.

Tonight my mom and I joined a boot camp at the local MMA gym. I'm all over the place on how to track progress with my fitness endeavors this year, but I do know that I want to get fit and stay fit. The easiest part of getting in shape is staying in shape. I don't want to be a yo-yo dieter and I don't want to be a yo-yo athlete either.

I'd like this year to be the year I make permanent changes that I maintain throughout my life. Tonight I started by joining an MMA gym. Yeah, I didn't see it coming either. But it actually was pretty fun. I'm not planning on taking up fighting any time soon... Or like ever... That's just not my gig.
