It is a new year.
2011 was a pretty good year around here, all things considered.
One of the areas where I still need work, however, is my health. I lost about 20 pounds this year (well, really nearly 30, but then gained some back). I'm glad to lose. It's a step in the right direction. But I need to do more. I know I'm not on Biggest Loser, and I don't expect to lose like they do- but if some of those folks can lose 20 pounds in a week, then I damn well can lose more than that in a year. I need to get my butt in gear.
I'm going to make a commitment to myself here. I know every week may not show a loss. I know that- I must be realistic. But at year end, I want to net an average of at least a pound a week. That would be 52+ pounds gone at the end of the year. That is a modest goal. Totally reachable. I can do this.
I go back to work tomorrow, and will be back on plan. I'm going to be logging on sparkpeople and exercising at home using a gazelle, aerobics videos (on demand and DVD) and the Wii.
I can do this!
I must add, I'm working on getting more organized at home as well. Starting small- but making progress there as well. :)
ReplyDeleteLove you just like you are Tina!!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it Tina! Do it while you are young and healthy! I could do it until about 5 years ago and have not, at age 51, been able to get the mindset to do it. Maybe you will encourage me!

You can do it! Sparkpeople is a fantastic site. There are two Sparkpeople routines that I do regularly that make a great difference. Let me know if you are interested. Good luck with your goal and Happy New Year to you and your family!
