Bye bye 2009! Bear hug to 2010!!!

I must start by saying I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new year! It's like a fresh start, a chapter or book ending, new adventures around the corner, joyous occasions and unexpected bliss! Of course, that's b/c I am the eternal optimist! My 2010 astrology report isn't even as fabulous as 2009 was (it says I will have some struggles) but that's ok! I'm fine w/ that! You can't be fabulous 24/7 right?


So anyway, some people are doing a word to represent their year 2010! I would like mine to be LOVE!!!!!! As in, (first and foremost) love for myself, and finding love to fill my life...aka, A MAN! Well not A man but THE man who will fufill my hopes and desires and make me scream all night! haha! I tease, I tease! But this is the year to FALL INTO LOVE AGAIN, LEAP INTO THE UNKNOWN AND WORRISOME! I'm ready!


I spent 2007 and 2008 repairing the damage my last relationship did to me, my life, my kids, and my career. Then I spent 2009 focusing on regaining the old Liz, being a better Liz, learning more, loving myself again, respecting myself again for the first time in AGES, and putting my effort into my career and education! 2009 WAS A MONSTER HUGE YEAR for me! I knew Dec 31, 2008 that great things were in store for that year! I don't know why but I felt it in my heart! I told myself then that "2009 IS THE YEAR FOR CHANGES!" sweep out the old and miserable, and in with new and hopeful! So I am beyond proud of where  this year has ended for me. I'm down 42-43 lbs, in a "normal" size jeans, sort of, and getting stuff on track or taking off! I love it! I love when things run smoothly and/or you accomplish goals, big or small!


If I could have a quote for 2010, it'd be "BELIEVE IT, BE IT!". If you watch biggest losers it is one of the past winners motto, or quote. I love the quote! I "believe" in the quote. I whole heartedly believe anything is possible w/ much determination and effort!


I hope in 2010 I get my motivation quote tattoo, my music note tattoo, find love, make leaps and bounds in my education, earn a sweet promotion at work, and lose the rest of the weight I have to lose...66 lbs! I think that is doable considering I did 42 in 6 mths so I can do 66 in a year, considering the last 10-20 is probably the hardest! Oh and one thing I'd love the year or astrology gods to bring me for 2010, is TIGHT, TONED, SEXY ASS SKIN! I would love to not HAVE to have surgeries b/c I am not done having children....(probably) so the surgery would have to wait! Oh and I am soooooooooooooo excited to find love next year! haha! Tomorrow!


I hope everyone has a fabulous and SAFE New Years Eve! I, myself, am going out partying for the first time in probably 4 mths. I'm going to this 4-in-1 club in Tempe w/ 6 people. WE have a DD set up and we're crashing a hotel across the street when we're done. We plan on dancing the ENTIRE night, so here's for hoping i lose 3 lbs in calories! haha! I plan on drinking, which I haven't done in 4 mths as well. I hope I don't bloat or swell too bad the next day! I've got a 3 day weekend and each one of those will be spent at the gym and in the sauna or steam room. (yet to determine which one is actually better or more beneficial to you, if you know, let me know please). Sooo I'm BEYONDDDDDD excited for tonight! Hangin' out w/ my best gal from work! We've been work buddies for 2 years now and this will be the first time we've hung out outside of work! Crazy I know, but we are both pretty private, homebody types. But tonight we're bustin' out the skank adittude, drinkin too much, and dancin the night away! Hopefully no actual skank behavior....just havin' fun! We're excited! I can't wait to share the pics!


xoxo,
Liz


P.s. When I was getting ready earlier I was all hyper (still am) and was jammin some music in the bathroom and thought I just looked soooo damn cute so I decided I'd do like a 5 point series of me gettin ready havin some fun! I recorded the first 3 already, haha! soooo much fun! Can't wait to share them with you! Will record the last 2 when I do my hair and makeup and stuff! I might do a quick instructional makeup video, that sounds fun, I remember Kristen talked about that awhile ago. See if I can do all my makeup in a min 30! haha!
