Mission Statement

I am an It Girl. I possess all the smarts, sex appeal, and all that certain something that differentiate me from the rest of the pack. An innate, raw "light" that makes me sparkle. However, it is kind of hidden and "rough around the edges" - so my goal for the rest of 2010 is to harbor and expose that light to the world - mainly by new locale: The Cin City, The Queen City, Porkopolis, Cincinnati.

I have several fronts I will be tackling in my It-Girlness: my physical fitness, my academic/career pursuits, my financial saavy, and my dominance of my city. My mantra: I do not want to find myself, but create myself.

1. Construction and Renovation of my sacred Temple.

I want to get into killer shape. Partly because of our vanity obsessed culture, (I love looking at celebrity bikini photos) but mostly - I have never been in shape. Growing up a little girl in the Hoosier state, all my friends were playing basketball, and I was quickly pegged "unathletic" and "fragile". That label has permeated in to my soul and has hung around, and finally at the afe of 22, I am renouncing it. I do not want to be scared of physical assertion and do not want to keep telling myself I can't run a race or play tennis. I want to find adventurous ways to explore fitness.

What is the condition of my temple you may ask? Okay. I love my body, I think I have killer curve. But I don't exercise, I have terrible eating habits, and I am not going to have a twenty year old metabolism forever (wish does not work that great anyway). I am lucky with how I wear my weight (hourglass. yes.) but I would like to lose some of it so my jeans aren't as tight and so I don't have chicken wings. (I would also like to pass the Brazilian - Pencil Butt test with no question).

I like short-term goals. I want to run a 5K this summer - and enjoy it. I want to see a little definition in my arms. I would like to eat at Taco Bell less.
