A Fresh Start!
Jan 01, 2009
Happy New Year! While I have only gained a few pounds, I have not been sticking to either my exercise plan or eating plan. I threw out all of the junk, including homemade bread, petit fours, Chex mix, nuts, and anything else remotely tempting. I have set realistic goals for myself this year that include the following: 1)exercising 6-7 days a week, 2) losing 40 - 50#, 3) becoming more frugal with everything, 4) being more patient with my students, family, and my mom, 5) reading more -- I've enjoyed reading over Christmas, 6) contributing more to OH because it helps with accountability, 7) more intimacy with Danny as we have fallen into the bad habit of being parents rather than partners. All are attainable.This morning, Danny and I talked about our goals for the year. We agreed on everything. Danny would like to lose weight. He says that a lot of his problems, including stress at home and work, revolve around his weight gain. He, too, is worried about money. We have resolved to work together with our goal being "WANT TOs VS. NEED TOs." I really like this and will post it at school, too.
I got up this morning, scrambled eggs with LF cheese and ham for us both, went to the gym and spent 30 minutes on the weights and 65 minutes on the treadmill walking/jogging. We went to the market and bought needed groceries with a meal plan in mind for us both. This afternoon, we'll take the basset hounds for a long walk, which will be good for Danny, Catie, the dogs, and me.
I do better with a plan, and I definitely have one in mind! This will be a good year!
