Been a long time. . . .

It's been quite a while since I posted. Life has gotten more and more busy it seems. And I think the farther you get out from surgery the less you obsess about it as life becomes more "normal", whatever that is. I think I am getting to comfortable where I am now and need to shake things up a bit. I am up a few pounds to 173...need to get that back down. It's easy to make excuses like it's too cold to walk or too busy to exercise but it's just excuses. So I started back on the treadmill. It is much more fun to walk outside in nice sunny weather, but we just don't have that here in frigid Minnesota so...gotta do what ya gotta do. Treadmill it is. And I need to cut out the carbs and get more protein in again. Back on track and all that. But I do feel good. And I am still below my drs goal (not mine) which is good I guess. I want to get back down around 160.I am heading to Jamaica with the hubby in February...no kids this trip. Looking forward to it. So now I have a little extra incentive to step things up a bit. Wanna strut my stuff on the beach...hahah. I have never had "stuff" to strut. I will settle for enjoying the beach and sand and sun. MMMM. Sounds heavenly on this -20 degree day. I started tanning last night. I know it's not the greatest for a person to buy wrinkes and all that, but there is something about it that just feels indulgent to me. I love it.
I am definitely glad the holidays are over. Too many dang temptations to resist. Cookies and candy everywhere. I know I should just say No thank you....if it were only that easy.
So here are my new goals...
1. exercise...walk on treadmill 1 hr 4 times/week...plus take wellness walk at work with buddies
2. eat more protein...always been a hard one for me. Don't like meat all that much. Don't like milk. Lunch meat and cheese it is. Maybe more yogurt and beans.
3. drink MORE H2O, Crystal Lite. Cut way down on pop. Should cut it out all the way...baby steps, baby steps.
4. journal eating habits...not fun but a great tool
These are all attainable goals for me. It helps to write them down....makes a person more accountable somehow.
So, here's to 2009!!!
Peace.
