So it has been one month since new years, although i said i wasn't making a resolution i did want to make a goal for myself. Do more is my new years motto. i feel like i have done well with my goal. Matt has been a big help. he has decided that i am just not going to work out myself so he drags me to the gym with him. it has been really good for a few weeks now. i haven't been as consistent as i want but have gotten there at least 3 times a week. i go by myself and do cardio and then meet up with him to do weights. he has been very supportive in not killing me and letting me work up to his standard of workout. i feel really dumb in the "guys" gym benching a 20 lb bar but i am learning to get over what everyone else thinks and worry about myself and where i am at. Matt has also been embracing eating healthier himself. i made a zuchinni lasagna, a recipe i got from my friend shannon who is an inspiration to me of healthy eating. matt said he did miss the noodles but that it was good. he has been eating less bread and more veggies and wants brown rice now. he has always been in shape and very fit but i am glad he is doing things that are good for your heart, cholesterol etc. we are still trying to get caleb to eat less fast food but he is a teenager and at least eats good at home!
if i can just make it through 11 more months...

Good job and keep up the good work! I just bought a little recipe book (the ones you get at the check out) for healthy eating. The recipes look really good and pretty simple to make. If you want to borrow it or make copies or whatever let me know. If I can help in this department I would love to. It's only 11 more months...you can do it!
kelly- you are doing great! It is motivating to workout with someone, isn't it? That is great Matt is helping you with weight training. I have found weight training really revs up my metabolism. Matt might like the website www.crossfit.com this is the website steve uses for his workouts. they are too hardcore for me, but steve likes to crosstrain with these workouts in the winter.
A few years ago, I saw Matt a couple of times running along Kam Highway almost near Wailua! That is quite a long run from Mililani!
Anyway, congrats! That's great about eating healthy too. I try but I tend to overindulge on the sweets.
When are you at the gym? I'm there in the morning. Just started getting back in to working out after a very long time! Maybe I'll see you guys there sometime. (FYI) You know who else goes?. . . .Kim and Dennis Kamiya. I saw them there too : )
