Ok, as many of you know, I have been busy going to school to attain my realtor's license. last Friday, I accomplished this task. Unfortunately, the four nights per week with my two jobs, i hadn't been able to get to the gym more than once per week, if that.
This is my year for change. I am embarking into a new career, the schooling is finished, and I selected a broker this afternoon, so next week I shuld be up and running with that.

I joke arund with saying a different 'chapter' in my life and was listenting to Bob Seager on the radio, when this title struck me.

Turn the page. New chapter. I have new vigor, new drive. Spring is coming and I am working on achieveing several new goals for myself this year. It starts here. Ground zero. Day 1!

Feel freto check in and help tweak, fix or offer any advice that can help me achieve this!
(Mainly with my diet...)
I am getting taped and bf %'d Tuesday. Pics..as horrible as they will be will also be taken and posted soon....feel free to not laugh.
So...without further adoo.....
