Well, today is the last day of 2007 and so a fresh New Year is fastly approaching. With tomorrow begining a new year it is hard not to sit back and think of all that was accomplished this year and all that I would like to accomplish next year. This of course means lots of goal setting, and I am not just talking about my fitness goals. This is a brand new year and a brand new start, but not exactly erasing your past instead using your past to live the present and future with a better understanding. So now is the time to set standards but I can’t aim low, I want to aim high. Like they say shoot for the moon, b/c if you fail you will still land amongst the stars. So there is no failure if you give your all no matter what. If you give your all and do it with your heart, that is not failure b/c that means you did what many are afraid to do, as many just give a good shot, but are afraid to give their all b/c of failure. I refuse to be a person that just does enough to get by. Either you can sit back and wait for fate to give you what is your or you can go out and create your own destiny. Here are a few of my many many plans for this year:

1. My love for health and fitness has much expanded there for I have decided to open my own gym. I have meeting set with an investor and owners to discuss opening my franchise of my favorite gym. My meeting the first week of Feb.

2. My weight goal has been reformulated. I decided the amt of weight I still want to lose, can not be done in a heatlhy way with a deadline of March 5, 2008, therefore I have pushed my goal date back till July 1, 2008. Currently I weigh 190, but my goal weight is 140. I have 7 months to lose 50lbs, I know it can be done as I have dropped so much and most of it was in the very beginning. There is nothing that will stop me now!!

3. Have my photography studio completed as well as my final courses in photography to have my second photography degree behind me. I am really excited for this. I already have a triple business major and a real estate license. YES I LOVE SCHOOL!! I want to learn even more!

4. I want to help inspire and motivate as many people as I can. With that I want to include becoming a youth motivational speaker again. The youth of today is wild, they need help, so I want to help even if I only help one it is still helping someone and every one person helps.

5. I plan to continue with my diet and staying strict. I want to completely take control over it without even one craving every for something bad. I have it basically under control, but not completely. I mean I do eat healthy, but we all have our moments, well I just dont want those moments any more I want to completely fight them off.

6. I want to run in at least two marathons this year.

7. I want to get back to running 7 miles a day outdoors like I did in high school.

8. I want more than anything to get at my goal by July and meet all the requirements my boss gave me to be in our 2009 calendar which the photo shoots start August 1. Only two people know of this goal, but right now I want to make it known to all, b/c I want to be held accountable for my goals and what I say.

These are my plans and a great start for now. I am ready to start this new year and embrace all I am setting out for. I refuse to let anything or anyone get in the way of what I want or how I feel. I understand the amount of dedication and work this will take and I am ready for that. I have a huge amount of people that are supporting me here at home as well as here on bodybuilding. I am very thankfully to have the amount of supporters that I have along with the amount of encouragement I receive. I thank each and everyone one of you (you know who you are) for being there for me and helping me through my hardest times and my weakest moments. I thank you all for the comments and inspirational words you have given me since I joined this website this year. I am very lucky to have you all as a friend and backing me up.

Jason P. I must give you a personal thanks here. I can not tell you how much you have helped me. The unlimited instant messages, texts, phone calls, emails, my unlimited question asking, the meal planning, etc. You name it, Jason, you have helped me.. You have helped me more than I ever thought someone could. I have not only realized what I have done wrong, but I have learned the difference in what I was doing, why I should change it and all the benefits from it, not only for meeting my goal but for keeping me healthy during this. I now feel like I am not just doing what I am doing b/c I should be instead I feel like I know why, how and what it does for me. It feels incredible!! You completely rock!!

There are a few more people out there that have helped me, encouraged and inspired me. You all will never know truly how grateful I am to you for that.

Well, I shall end my book of a blog here today. LOL. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. I wish you all the complete best and nothing but success in the year 2008. If I can ever help any of you with anything just let me know.

Thanks again. And Happy New Year.
