* So here's the deal. I am doing great weight wise if you are just looking at the actual number. I am below pre-baby weight and even in smaller jeans, which feels great. BUT... I am not in shape, I am flabby, shabby, bouncy, flouncy, and well, that isn't so great.

I don't want to do some crazy diet, but I do want to do something to whip this body into shape, do a 360 turn around. I don't really work out at all right now, my muscles and joints are weak. I think I need to work things to get them healthy... which hopefully would tone me at the same time.

So here's the plan. I go hard for 100 days, which is just over 3 months. Yes it's a long time, and I may not do it, so very true. But if I do, and if I rock it, I give myself a reward. Who doesn't love a good reward? $100. To spend on whatever I want, as long as its clothes... jeans, tees, new bra, cardis, etc.

Fun.

I even practiced the other night to see if I could even do 100 jumping jacks. I did them alright. About 25 at a time. :)

So here we go. This is not a new years resolution, it's something I've been thinking about since I birthed a baby back in September, I just haven't been able to run or jump until just these last few weeks. But now I have an idea, a plan, and hopefully the will and desire to do it.

A'ight. So tomorrow we start.

I will take the first picture tomorrow morning, Dec. 27, 2011 - Day 1.

Feel free to join me.

(note to self: January 20th will be picture #2)

That's soon, so get crackin'!!

ETA: And while we're at it, don't forget to review my radiant necessities on the side there so we can all start this new year off better. I know I forget a lot of that stuff every day right now so I am going to try harder... love it. Happy Radiance Finding to you!!

this sounds awesome!! Good luck Kate. I may be joining you in this challenge!

and my special code word: b hipper. how cool is that?

about me and why I have started this journey

I am a stay-at-home mom of one, husband to the man of my dreams, lover of anything crafty or having to do with fabric, and I am learning to live in the moment and enjoy the joy in each minute of each day.

I created this blog as a space to share with myself and with you a special journey I wish to embark on. I feel having this creative space will allow me to fully explore myself, my desires, and my goals.

By the last day of June I want to feel full of a spark, full of a certain energy, just so full that I can't help but shout it from the rooftops. I want to feel like a fresh squeezed orange on a hot summers day. I want to be dripping with excitement and love for life.

I don't want to be worried about how I look, or why I look that way. I don't want to be worried about what I should wear or what I should say. I don't want to feel tired, I don't want to feel fat, and I don't want to feel not good enough.

I want to feel like I can take on the world. I want to feel like my face is a sunbeam of joy. Actually, that's the best description I have come up with yet for what I am after.

I WANT TO BE A SUNBEAM OF JOY TO THE WORLD!
