Just try and beat me...I dare you.

It's official.
I am ready.
Again.
To dominate.
All competition.

I'm not gonna lie...it has truly been a life full of decadence these last few months following what could have been my very last ride in a car.  Remember kids...Seat belts are in the back seat for a reason.  Don't believe me?  I've got the scars to prove it. Buckle up!  
Life changed forever & drastically on March 4, 2012, never to be the same again.  So much so (as near death experiences normally do) that all the itty bitty annoyances in life that used to bother me so much have all but melted away, forever banished to the "It really doesn't matter anyway" file.  Let me add here that driving on I-595 or being a passenger in anyone else's car is still a work in progress.  These days it's all about enjoying EVERY SINGLE DAY to the FULLEST.  Really LIVING life!! Spending time with and money on the people I love the most in life...starting with me (yes, it's OK for me to make me #1 in my life).  Family, friends, food, fiestas, and travel, travel, travel. I can't take any of this $$$ with me when I go so I might as well enjoy it while I'm here.  I'm already planning vacations for the remainder of the year....who wants to go back to Mexico with me?!?! Seriously...who's in?

The funniest thing about the accident and my never ending quest to be happy with my body is that I seemed to keep most of the weight OFF until I got back into the gym. (Yep, I'm just all giggles over it) Here I sit, typing, 3 months into my rehabilitation and I've gained weight!! 
Uh oh...This should not have happened because I have actually been getting stronger in the gym, making gains and progress in the areas I was so initially so weak. Don't get me wrong, I love exactly who I am right this very minute, I just know that it's time to do some NEW & IMPROVED work... 
I got a little weak in the fork/spoon/knife/sugar/alcohol department and I can accept that.  I know that to be able to say that out loud without wanting to kill myself with a dull butter knife is the step in the right direction thanks to my new perspective shift and I don't feel like it's the end of the world!!! Imagine that.  The world has not stopped spinning on it's axis because I put on a few lbs.  In fact, I am even MORE excited to be even better than I was this time last year.  I remember, do you?
I am saying ALL of this out loud simply for accountability.  I know that I am not perfect, but I am capable.  Success is within my reach.  Why can't I do this two times in a row?! (I couldn't think of a reason either) I have all the tools at my disposal. I will keep a journal this time around too.  I have an INCREDIBLE network of support and love in my team. 

Let me leave you with this...I hope you all enjoyed my brief stint as a more voluptuous woman.  I certainly did.  Gaining weight was easy AND fun...SO. MUCH. FUN.  Enjoy the curves while they last for I will be trading them in soon enough for some SUPER ripped abs and an ASS you can bounce a quarter off of and then crack some nuts with.  What?!  There is nothing unreasonable or out of line with that last sentence. That's all the motivation I need.  Well...that and the fact that I REFUSE to spend any more money on clothes that I will soon no longer need.  Today it's drawstring linen pants coupled with the hope I make it into my fave pair of painted on skinny jeans just in time for the Fall.

3...2...1...Dominate.
