How cool is this?

WoW, Congrats on all 3 Ali :)

Good for you, Ali
your brain, your heart, your soul all seem so healthy
I love reading your perspective on so many subjects
I'm glad to hear you're taking time to keep your body healthy, too.
You'll be glad you did.
My job is in fitness, I scrapbook for fun.
I wish it was the other way around
But I know I would give up the fitness if I didn't do it for a job!
So, I spend alot more time each day working out than I do scrapbooking
But I'm glad it gives me the energy I need to scrapbook in the evenings
and the energy to survive my teenage kids
It's hard to start up again.
So, I wish you luck and persistence.
I'll tell you what I tell my new members
"It takes 21 times of doing something before it becomes a habit, so don't be surprised if you hate it for at least that long. Just work through the hate and the pain, and before you know it, it will be a habit."

Hey tough girl (or soon to be) Good for you on getting over to the gym - I need to do that, too! That's pretty cool about your new ride - I share your love for the Outback...ever since I got one as a rental one time (it was purple - my favorite!) Sigh...just a minivan for me though! :)

wow that is a great car!! good for you that you are working on your body health as well, you will be one healthy girl from the in and outside this year!

You go girl! I love your blog and am not surprised! Your pics and insight are just awesome! You will love exercise, I promise. I try to get to Yoga at least 2x per week (5:30am comes pretty early!), but it is the only time the little ones are still sleeping.
Good for you for sticking to your NY commitments!

We just bought a new Subaru outback a few weeks ago and we love it! Good choice! I'm throwing a few pennies in your backseat for luck!

Very cool on 3 accounts! Congrats!

Congrats on your blog award-too cool. I also wanted to say that I'll be seeing you in Irvine this weekend, and I'm so excited.
There is nothing better then working out. For me it is the one time of the day that is ALL about me. Not the laundry, or cleaning, or next item on my to do list. Every thing else just melts away. It is about my body and most importantly my mind, which makes me a better wife and mom. I have a feeling it will be the same for you.

great job on the gym thing...inspiration! and yeah on the new vehicle - sounds super!

Congratulations on the award. I love reading your blog. Always something new to think about. I've had the SO for almost 3 years. Love it and can't imagine ever having another car. Good for you to take care of you. You're the only 'you' you will ever have.

Hey Ali! Cool about the car! We're doing the same thing with our Van! Just getting a smaller car! Actually very cool about all 3 things! ;) Have a good one today,
peace

Ali,
Just wanted to give you a little encouragement on your fitness journey. I have lost 58 lbs over the last 2 years (pregnancy weight). There have been rough days, there have been losses and gains along the way, but if I can do it (World's Biggest Couch Potato no more!) then anyone can. No goal is out of reach, go for it!

Congrats on the new car! I had a 1995 Outback (green!) and we drove that thing for 10 years! 280,000 miles on that baby! Awesome car! You'll love it!

way cool! i wanted one of those subaru's also... ha! but more kids= mini van... so maybe someday i'll size back down to that. Congrats on getting it! Good luck with your new workout schedule. :)

That sounds like a good decision with the gym. Trying something like that too. Wish you the strenghth and will to keep it up!!

congrats on your blog award! I love reading it!
and congrats on the new car . . . my aunt has an outback and LOVES it as well!

So jealous about that outback...been wanting one for a while. Hopefully I can trade the minivan in by the end of the year. :)
Good job getting back to the gym! I started two weeks ago and already feel better. Keep with it!

A big Congrats to you on the blog award. Its definitely one I visit daily. And you'll love the Outback. We bought ours in '03 and are thinking of getting a second. They handle like a dream here on the icy roads in Utah!
