Lucky '13 - A New Year & New Goals!

Hey Everyone!!! Cheers to 2013!! Hope ya'll had an amazing holiday season with your family and friends! Celebrating the holidays for us this year was great! We truly enjoyed being around family and friends! Now 2013 is here, and I am ready to ROCK!!

I know I talk about goal setting a lot, but I truly believe in it~ Its the only way to get from where you are, to where you want to be.
My goals for 2013 are as follows:

• Develop plans for our business.
• Compete at least 3x this year
• Place top 5 in each competition
• Do at least 2 fitness photo shoots
• Build a bigger clientele base
• Help others reach their goals
• Create a Brand
• Get certified as a nutritionist
• Get at least B's in school
• Make 45k
• Be more POSITIVE to myself and others :)
• Inspire others

Every year, I create new goals for myself, and I hang them up somewhere that I can see them EVERYDAY! Its a nice reminder to know what I am working so hard to achieve, when I have them there to remind me every morning. Last year, I completed 4 out of 6 of my goals! Sometimes you cant always get what you want, or life may take you in a whole new direction! What's nice is to reflect on what you have accomplished, and where you are going! Don't dwell on what you didn't do- that wont get you anywhere but into a downward spiral of self pity. No one wants to be around people who are always whining- so get over it- and decide the next steps to where you want to be!!

Constantly work on being a BETTER YOU! You are the only person who can change your attitude! Instead of wallowing in a bed of tears, pick yourself up and Every morning tell yourself your beautiful, or say something good about yourself every morning! This is something I will defiantly be working on this year, I am consistently looking at how to improve or what I am unhappy with... I know I need to just look into the mirror sometimes and just say, "Damn, I am sexy!" no matter if I feel like I am or not. The point is to indulge in MYSELF! Too often I feel unworthy, or not good enough- and for NO GOOD REASON! This is why I am sharing this with you all, because I need to work on being a confident woman. I want everyone else to do this too- work on truly loving yourself. Work on truly appreciating yourself. Work on becoming kinder and more positive to yourself! This will not be an easy challenge, humans by nature are negative. It will take a lot of discipline and energy to be positive all the time! When someone says something bad about something or something else, I challenge you to turn that conversation into a positive one! :) Together, we can all be happier, kinder, sexier people in 2013!! :)

So, there are my goals for 2013, its one of the longest lists I have ever made for myself in 1 year, but I am confident in all of my goals for this year! :)

I have my first competition set; I will be competing in the 2013, NPC Grand Prix Natural, in Rockford, IL on May 18th! That puts me at currently 19weeks out! I have a lot of work to do, but I cannot wait to see how much I have improved from last July's show:) This year is all about improving, and although I am in it to win it, as long as I have improved - I am satisfied!

So CHEERS to a Lucky '13 type of YEAR~!!

LETS ROCK IT!

XO- Nina
