Life in the new year

I can't believe it's already 2015!!! When did that happen? It seems like just yesterday it was 2000. I feel like the older I get the faster each year goes by...lets hope this slows down sometime soon, or else by the time I'm 50 my years will go by with just a blink of an eye.

Anyway....this year Brett and I are doing the whole "New Year, New Me" thing. We've got our new gym regime and are eating a lot healthier than we were. Our new years "resolution" in 2014 was to cut out soda. Brett did amazing and hasn't had soda since. Me? Well....I cheated a few times...but it was definitely nothing like it used to be. I seriously would drink a coke 5 times a week before we made the deal. But last year I had under 10 drinks! I'm pretty dang proud of myself. So now this year we are cutting out sweets like candy, cake, brownies, ice cream...basically anything that tastes good. It actually hasn't been too hard. Except when I go to the grocery store hungry..then I just want to eat everything in sight!

We are very happy that Vasa has opened a gym literally right across the street from us. It makes it very easy to get up in the morning and go to the gym. I am really enjoying going 5-6 times a week. It has changed my mood. I feel so much better everyday and I feel like better about myself. This whole time I have swore that I WILL NOT WEIGH MYSELF...but I did cheat last week and got on the stupid scale. I was so nervous that I wasn't going to have lost anything but I have actually lost 12 pounds! I am so proud of myself and feel like that was such an amazing accomplishment already. I can already see a difference in Brett and his body. He is trying to bulk up and build more muscle. I love working out with him and love the support he gives me. He is seriously the best guy. He supports me and he pushes me to do my best at the gym and outside of the gym. I couldn't have asked for a better support system.

It'll be awesome to see what this year will bring for the Bennetts and our health.

HERE'S TO 2015!!!
