Back by popular demand...

...we have the New England Patriots and the NY Football Giants facing off in a rematch of Superbowl XLII in just under two weeks.  I couldn't be more excited to see these two behemoths face off again.  Neither team looked dominant this past Sunday so it's anyone's game.  The Patriots will have to contend with a fearsome pass rush and a potent offense.  The Pats need their secondary to finally show up and play a full game if we are going to try and contain Manning, Nicks, and Cruz.  One thing I know is that Tom Brady will have nothing but ice cold revenge surging through his veins come game time.  Will he get his Inigo Montoya moment or will the Giants yet again snatch that fourth Superbowl victory from his grasp?  I for one can't wait to find out.

Best laid plans...

No matter how much we plan sometimes things just don't go the way we want or expect them to.  For example I have been trying to write this blog post for at least a week now and I just haven't found the time to do it.  Thankfully I have been finding the time to go to the gym.  I was there 4 days last week and have already put in 3 days this week.  My plan for the new year was to go 5 days a week.  Monday, Wednesday, and Friday would be cardio and Tuesday and Thursday would be weight lifting.  I got close to that last week but couldn't get motivated Monday morning hence the 4 days.  This week I am on track for 5 days after a surge of energy at 9:30pm last night had me heading over to the gym for some late night lifting.  All in all I have been putting in some hard work so far this year and I feel better than ever.  What plans did you guys make for the new year?  Now that we are a little over a week in how have those plans worked out so far?  I would love to hear about it in the comments below.

First workout of the new year...

...and in over a week!  I can't believe it has been that long since I have been to the gym.  My body really starts to let me know once I haven't been to the gym for a while.  My knees start to ache and I just get generally sore all over.  When I don't go to the gym that means I don't end up stretching which I think really effects the way I feel.  I was trying to have my first day back be yesterday but that fell by the wayside in lieu of an increased work schedule for the new year.  I'm firing up all engines in 2012 and I WILL reach my goals.  I hope everyone had a very enjoyable holiday and I was so happy to see so many good friends and of course my amazing family.  I couldn't do any of this without all your love and support and I truly appreciate it.
