'Tis the Season to be FIT...

The problem I have with getting in shape isn't running for hours and ending up in the exact same place you started on a treadmill or the crunches that I always seem to lose count of.. it's physically getting me out of bed and TO the gym.

I love the rush I get after a good work-out. -Once I get that feeling, I always promise myself I'm really going to start making this a habit... but soon enough, I find myself taking a 2-month break in between sessions.

Since it's summer, I don't have the lousy excuses of: having to cram for an exam or having sorority events to attend. AND because, in the summer, you have to bare more skin... I've made a promise to myself to GET FIT.

I have two goals:
1. Get back to the body I had PRIOR to the "Freshman 15"
2. Run a 5k. (To some, a 5k might be NBD, but I've had this goal for a while and I still have yet to accomplish it.)

How will I stay motivated? -Shopping, of course. I swear it's the answer to any problem.

Need a reason to go to the gym? -How about getting use out of all of the cute work-out clothes? Ditch the ratty old Gildan T-Shirts from high school and invest in some quality work-out clothes that are comfortable and that will help enhance your work-out.
