A letter to April….
Yes, it is that time of year again…another vacation is around the corner and I am looking at my very no-go bikini bod. Pale red heads were probably not meant to go to a resort in November. I mean at least in Summer I had a little color, but if you are a natural red head then that color fades out in about 2 weeks. So by November I am looking like Snow White. Needless to say, I need to do some work on myself in the next 6 weeks. We are talking tan and tone ladies and gents! So I turned to my beloved friend (whom I have never met in person, but I know we would totally do lunch on a regular basis) in Cali who is obsessed (in a good way) with nutrition and fitness. I am horrible at sticking to my guns when it comes to eating healthy and exercising regularly. I mean, I totally come out of the gate like Rocky Balboa…running, weights, competitive and gung-ho 100%! Then about half-way through week 2 I look in the mirror and think…what the crap? I have been working my arse off and I look exactly the same! Screw this, I want a beer and a taco!
So there ya go April, that is the God’s honest truth and I am not proud to admit it, but I am ready to admit I need help. I am ready the beautiful blonde California girl to motivate me and mold me into something better. Everything else in life is clicking on all cylinders but my health and fitness has been pushed to the back burner for far too long. As April guides me through my process I plan to share it with you. So I plan to be brutally honest with where I am starting and how I progress. This will not only motivate me to stay accountable but hopefully inspire some of you as well. Any comments, tips or advice along the way are welcome!
With love, happiness, health and sunscreen
