Work Out Wednesday

Welcome to Work Out Wednesday!

Like most people, one of my resolutions is to eat healthier and get in shape. As most of my fellow CreCommers can confirm, last semester I made it a point to make it to the school gym every day Monday-Friday, usually during spares and at lunch. I only did about 30 minutes of cardio each time, but hey, that’s 2 and a half hours more a week I had been doing originally. I had planned to keep this up during the holidays, and I did for the first little bit. The last week was a no go. My excuse? Working full-time, Christmas, New Years, etc. I figured I could let one week slide and start up again the first day back to school. But what happened instead? I dislocated my knee (as I often do) and had to take it easy for a week. 

Which brings me to this week. Me and the gym were reunited on Monday and it was a joyful reunion indeed. I skipped Tuesday due to laziness, but made sure I went today. I fully intend on going tomorrow and Friday, but we shall see how that goes. Until then, I leave you all with this Kanye West’s Workout Plan!

It's 2012 and me so excited!

Welcome to 2012 everyone! 

At the end of 2010 I vowed that 2011 would be a better year, and it was. 2011 wasn’t the most amazing year of my life, but it was definitely an improvement. Now I could sit here and bitch and moan about some of the nonsense that I encountered in 2011, but I’m trying to improve my outlook on life and so, I’ll focus on the positive (for now anyway).

2011 Highlights (in no particular order)

1.       Having my cousin Marquis visit from Calgary

2.       Living in the same apartment for one full calendar year (this is a HUGE achievement)

3.       Being accepted into the Creative Communication program at Red River (another HUGE achievement)

4.       Not having to apply for any of the jobs I’ve had this year

5.       Having Laurence visit from Quebec

6.       Taking my little cousin out for her first boat ride

7.       Making new friends

8.       Shopping in Grand Forks

9.       Bar nights with Anita and Josh

10.   A great Christmas spent with family and friends

Like I said, 2011 wasn’t the best year I’ve ever had, but it was 50 times better than 2010! 

I HOPED 2011 would be good, but I KNOW 2012 will be absolutely amazing. Let me tell you why...

Plans for 2012

1.       Coming up with a sweet IPP (independent professional project), most likely a gala or banquet of some sort

2.       Declaring a major in Public Relations

3.       A trip to New York in Spring

4.       Helping my friend Kimiya get her modelling career off the ground

5.       Interning at the Alpha Phi office in Illinois (or somewhere just as interesting)

6.       Hitting the gym Mon-Fri and eating healthy

7.       Starting my own radio show

8.       Getting VIP at the Opera Lounge for my 24^th Birthday

9.       Visiting my cousin in Calgary

10.   Meeting a ton of new people

There are more things I’m looking forward to, but I'd hate to give it all away.

Happy New Year ladies and gents. Be sure to make it a good one!
