Happy New Me!

This year I don’t have any resolutions, those seem destined to be broken. I do however, have goals. After what started as a very promising 2011, the last half of the year turned to shit and pretty much puts 2011 in my top 5 worst years of my life. Good news is that things have imporved significantly in the last month and I am very hopeful for 2012. As I venture into this year my health and fitness related goals are…

  1. To keep a complete food diary for all 365 days with calorie & fat information
  2. To drink 160 ounces of water a day, before drinking any other liquid
  3. To limit my diet soda intake to one 12pack case per shopping trip (every 2wks)
  4. To limit daily calories to 1200, with one 1500 day per week
  5. To lose 2 pounds per week
  6. To ulimately weigh 135 pounds
  7. To burn 650 calories per day through workouts to reach 2lb goal
  8. To remember that a calorie limit does not mean I can’t have a treat
  9. To learn that food should not control ones life, it is only essential to live- not to taste
  10. To log progress at least every sunday on 3fc

 I have other goals, but these just seemed the most important. If I obtain my goals then I will have reason to celebrate, if not it doesn’t mean I failed. But if I let food and sloth continue to control me, I have no one to blame but myself.

Calories were 1240, no workout yet, but it’s better than yesterday. Happy New Year to all! Can’t wait to get back in the swing of things in 2012!

Pepa,
Glad to see you on and glad to be back myself. The holidays were mayhem here — but in a good way! I gained a bit, but that is ok. Getting going again now. :D Your goals sound good to me! I didn’t really make any this year except to be overall… better. In everything. I consider myself pretty friendly and helpful, but I am still going to work on it all. Oh, and trying to cuss less. I cuss like a sailor! Anyways, glad that things have been better your way and can’t wait to start seeing more blogs from you. Take care!

Hi Pepa! I’m just getting back into blogging after a long time off and lot of weight gain so I’m checking up with old friends. I’m so sorry to hear about all of the trouble that you’ve been through late last year but also glad to see that you’re feeling better lately. Good for you. Let’s get back on track together.

I decided to make goals this year instead of resolutions as well. Every year for the past six years I had some resolution that involved me losing forty pounds or so. The resolution was just that “lose X amount of weight,” and there was nothing else supporting it.
This year my goals involve taking little steps to be more positive, and take better care of myself. Sure, I still want to lose the weight, but I think I have a healthier perspective on that issue after living in Florida for a year.
I hope this year is kinder to you than last year. You went through some pretty rough patches, but I am glad to see that you are still posting and keeping a positive attitude.
