Fitness Goals in 2016

I began to realize about a year ago that my goals were really streamlining themselves into focus.  It came down to my writing and my fitness.
Last year January I joined Planet Fitness and I have been going five days a week since then to work out.  I realized after last summer I was not seeing the results I was wanting.  Now, granted I was seeing some tone develop in my legs and my endurance increase.  But, I want to really see the next 20-25 lbs go away.  That motivated me to sign up a time to meet with a trainer last year October, with hopes I would see a change by December.  Then in January, I decided I needed to make a change to get myself to where I want to be and I began to sign up with the personal trainer on Friday's at 6am to push myself.  I have also been going hiking almost every Saturday since December.  With encouragement from my personal trainer I try to attend a Zumba class at least once if not twice a week.
I want to now pursue a series of fitness challenges as there are several areas I want to focus on and trim up this year.  It consists of FIVE areas, oy!  Abs-especially the lower abs, thighs-inner and outer, butt, back and upper arms.  I want to really tone up all of these areas, shape them up and tone up and I am hoping by June I will see some serious definition and by this December I pray to see a transformation.

Today, I began a 30 day fitness challenge, where I have begun to do squats.  Along with being on the 30 minutes on the treadmill, and a series of ab exercises.  I completed 55 squats today.  I am following a 30 day squat challenge I found on Pinterest.
You are going to help me be accountable as I want to blog about what I do, what I eat and the progress I am making.  I want to prove at 40 I can look incredible and better than ever before!  I also want to prove to myself that I CAN shape up and tone up my lower abs, as they have always been a problem area for me!!
