Dear Social Workout,

Since I'm writing this just after midnight, today is our anniversary and the day before my 30th birthday. Thanks to some due diligence from Sass, and some kind emails from Oliver & Katie, I signed up for Social Workout one year ago today. It's been a beautiful love affair. I had no idea when I started this leeetle "blog" that hot pink lipstick at the gym and Lite FM elliptical Sundays would become a regular part of my life. Not to mention that I would meet all you fine folk, slap your asses, lick your clavicles and smash my face into yours (repeatedly and with the aid of exercise endorphins and whiskey). The world and the gym is a much happier place for me with you all in it. Sure, I've won some prizes, but the biggest prize has been YOU.

Here are some of the things I've done that I never would have tried without the help of Social Workout: The big boyz section, Pilates Reformer (oops I have a 5 class pass I need to use), step class, juice fasts (never again), the Portal to Another World, the mechanical bull, running in Washington Square Park, hula hooping, Pole dancing, restorative yoga (yay naptime!), and high-fiving lady joggers. Ok, so maybe I didn't get Rihanna abs and I'm not running marathons, but I am dedicated to fitness, and like Frank Sinatra, I did it myyyyyyy waaaaaaaaaaaaaayy. Which for a stubborn and sassy Taurean bull princess who just wants to roll in the grass all day and be complimented, that is a huge, huge change. So here I go, charging into my 30's, a wake of lipstick smeared gym towels in my path.

Fitness goals for the new decade:

1) Become addicted to the Pilates reformer so I can show off my power legs on my 40th birthday.

2) Become really, really god at hula hooping. Then hula hoop on roller skates.

3) Try spinning (I'm really, really afraid of this so one of you will have to hold my hand).

4) Finally run a stupid mile. Then run, like, 5 of them or something. Or decide running is not for me and then become a spinner.

5) Master Dancing Shiva yoga pose. Tight quads are for 20 yr olds. Grown Ass Women are bendy.

6) Accomplish fitness goals that aren't even in the realm of possibility for me now.

Let's all sing together now:

Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to meeeee, I'm so fit and beautiful! Happy Birthday to me!

Love,

von Hottie
