2011: A Year Of New Beginnings

A new year has begun (well, a couple days ago) and I thought it would be nice if I could be a better blogger. 2010 was a good year overall for me. Like any year, it had its ups and downs. As 2011 begins there’s a lot to look forward to.

I’m blessed to have a great job that I actually enjoy doing (I know not many people can say that). Some goals I have set as a trainer at CrossFit Las Vegas is to better myself when it comes to training and strength. I also want to be able to clean up my diet and stick with it diligently. The most important goal I have for this year is to be a better coach and instructor. Better myself by being harder on the members to push themselves, better myself when it comes to learning about the fitness & health part of CrossFit.

I’ve entered into a great relationship with the man of my dreams, Mitchell McConkie. He has been a huge blessing in my life and I couldn’t have been any luckier or blessed. We got engaged on December 13, 2010 and we are planning on making it official later on during the Summer or Fall of 2011. As I start this new year, I want to work on being a better fiancĂ© by being more understanding, more compassionate, more selfless, more loving, and better at communicating. I should never be the reason for his unhappiness and if that’s the case, I have failed and will need to fix it as soon as I can. I know I’m only human and a perfect relationship will consist of fights and arguments so I’m willing to accept that we will have those moments.

My family has always been a great support to me and I’ve been blessed to have a loving family. This new year, I want to better my relationship with every member of my family. I need to keep in touch with my parents and see how they’re doing. I need to follow up on my siblings and their family to make sure I know what they’ve been up to and how life’s treating them. A good son/brother knows what’s going on in each of their lives and how they’re doing.

As a friend, I have set goals to make time for those that I care and love. I want to make my relationships with my friends stronger and it can’t only be done through Facebooking or texting. I need to be better at setting some time apart to hang out with them or pick up the phone and actually talk to them over the phone. Nothing’s better than to hear a voice of a good friend, right?

When it comes to myself, I have set some goals to help me get out of debt. Yes….that is a huge thing that has been weighing me down for years and I need to buckle down, stop spending money on foolish things and get the important things out of the way. I also want to be able to improve myself physically…..I want to get stronger, add some bulk and tone up my body. With that said, I will have to be more strict on my diet and not have them “cheat days” often as I do. Hahaha!!!

This will be a nice rollercoaster ride in 2011, but I know it will be one filled with a lot of good thrills! I will do my best to be on top of my blog postings as the year goes on. Cheers to this new year and many more to come!
