I am one of those obnoxious people who believes that to begin something new, it must be one of two days:
a. Monday
b. the first day of the month
It should come as a surprise, then, that I've never been one for New Years. I don't draw up a bunch of resolutions, or hit the gym on January 1st (although I was tempted to drag my boyfriend to our gym at midnight and ring in 2013 on the elliptical, if merely for mad props alone), and rarely do I even stay up until midnight.
So, naturally, tomorrow will be the first day of the year that I will actually go to the gym. I've been keeping myself plenty busy, just not by exercising!
Tomorrow I will start this plan for getting myself pull-up ready. Woot! I figure it will be a great way to get in my arm work three days a week while working towards a specific goal.
Four more days until school starts!
