Meet Tasha!

Contender number 3 for the Spring Break Bikini Challenge!! :) 

Yes, I stole her facebook profile picture. :)

Starting weight: 164lbs

We Aren't Scared Of Sugar: Tell us your favorite motivational quote.

Tasha:  Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. -Mahatma Gandhi

WASOS: Tell us your favorite healthy recipe.

Tasha: Right now my favorite (I know it's not a recipe) is Asparagus. Mostly grilled b/c it's fast, easy and delicious but I will take it in any dish. I used to avoid it because of the canned stuff. I never knew it had such amazing potential!

WASOS: What is your ultimate fitness goal?

Tasha: Overall I would like to see my weight decrease by 10-15lbs but that isn't firm. I am in great physical shape but I want to take some extra pressure off of my joints because I have Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis. The longer I am healthier and mobile with my children and husband the better. I went through a two year period where the disease owned me and now I take each day and give it all I have.

New Years Resolutions

I feel like making resolutions can have positive & negative outcomes. If you set goals, you're more likely to reach them. If you don't, you feel more like a failure.

This year I will reach ALL of my goals. I can SEE myself in these actions, therefore I will DO them. What are your new years resolutions?

1. complete my daily bootycall & afternoon cardio (if you're not sure what a bootycall is, check out TONE IT UP)

2. eat more raw foods & continue to cut refined sugars & starches

3. complete the DIY projects I started in 2011 (kitchen chairs, jelly cabinet)

4. ab definition

5. be able to run 5k by june & 10 miles (or even a half marathon) by december 1, 2012.

6. purge the house & maintain low clutter!

7. try a new food every month (I started to say every week but sometimes we're just SO busy- but we will try more than one a month! Just don't want to set us up for failure before we can even start!)

8. spend more time without electronics!

9. use my camera more. the d7000, not the iphone or point and shoot. I don't really count the nikon as an 'electronic' since I can't use it for social media.

10. attend a weekly exercise class- yoga, spinning, etc.
