Most Likely to Succeed (Part 2)

Isn’t it every girl’s dream to go back to their 10 year high school reunion looking smoking hot!?!? Why does it really matter? I guess because when people go back to their reunions, they go to see who looks good, who got fat, who is bald, etc. Sure we go to see our old friends, but let’s be honest…we are human…we are interested in these things. When I was in high school, I was thin and athletic. NEVER worried about my weight…EVER. Man…to go back to those times! It all changed in college. I gained the freshman 15…and sophomore 20. All of a sudden 4 years later I found myself 40 pounds heavier than when I graduated high school. Of course since I have been looking forward to this reunion for so long…I knew I had to do something. I didn’t want to be the one to go back that they whisper behind my back…”Oh she has packed on a few!”. I know it’s vain…I can’t help it. I want all the guys I had crushes on to think to themselves, “Man…why didn’t I ask her out”. (Side note: EVERY formal I went to…I asked the guy. Except 1. That was my senior year…and a freshman asked me…and I went with him!) And I want all the girls to be jealous. Especially the Homecoming Queen that I clashed with. What is it in us that makes us think this way? I guess we (or I) feel the need to always prove something to someone. I LOVE the movie “Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion”. And YES I have contemplated what my “Post It Note” will be. I want to look smart…I want to look successful…I want to look HOT!

So I have started my regiment. It actually started in January. I feel like I am in a good routine. I am shaping up and counting down the months to the reunion. I am accessing different work out programs to see what will stick. I love to run…so that isn’t going away. I am just trying to figure out how to tone. It is a lot of fun. I love fitness…but as I get older…the harder I have to work for the results. I think I have been so focused on it because I have seen results. Like with my earlier post talking about career…that is completely out of my control. For the most part. I can’t MAKE things happen no matter how hard I try. But with my body…I can for the most part…control it. I feel the need to control something…so I guess this is a good outlet. Hopefully.
So 17 months to my D-Day. I CAN’T WAIT! I don’t know why I’m thinking so much about this…this far in advance. I guess it’s something that motivates me…and something to look forward to. So let’s raise our glasses and toast to Looking Hot and Feeling Confident! Maybe if I say it enough…I will start to believe it.
