2010...

...or as I affectionately coined it...TWO-TEN!

Here are my resolutions:

1- post a picture a day on Facebook

2- pay off A LOT of debt

3- do a Pistol on both legs with a 35 lb. Kettlebell

4- pass the RKC Kettlebell Snatch test - 100 snatches with a 35 lb. Kettlebell in 5 minutes

5- do 5 deadhang pull ups - in all three hold positions

6- take 12 editing tutorials on lynda.com

That's it...obviously a lot of physical goals. I started doing Kettlebells consistently back at the beginning of September 2009. Within 2 months, people were asking me what I was doing because my body was changing. Now 4 months in, I am seriously in the best shape of my life and it shows. My muscles have never been so defined. It's kind of ridiculous...I've been working out for years and years to look like this; and much to my surprise, all I needed to do this whole time was swing a kettlebell. Who knew??? Well, now you do. If you want more info about kettlebells...check out this video promo I made for my instructor, Brian Copeland:

Also, if you want to try them out, you can search for a RKC Certified instructor in your area here:

I love kettlebells so much, I am considering getting certified to instruct. But I haven't decided for sure...it's an expensive process and just because I like using kettlbells, doesn't mean I'll enjoy teaching them.

A quick update since I don't blog much: I adore Denver...it grows on me more and more, still. March 4th will be my year anniversary of moving! I do plan to stay for a while longer. Right now I am deeply engrossed in snowboarding. I have a season pass that is good at 5 mountains and BOY am I getting my use out of it! What a sport. I love it. Also, I have some great friends now and have become very social.

Life is good. Real good.
