I'm ready to head back to bed myself. Just barely halfway through the work day.... at least I get a lunch break here shortly!
How's everyone doing so far in 2012? So far, so good for me. Most of you know that I'm a habitual weigher, so I know I'm down 4 lbs from Jan 1, but I'm not counting anything until WI Day. (We all know how the weekends can make or break my weight loss....)
So I am not really going with the "resolution" thing this year, just more like... with family history of heart disease and recent reality check with my dad (he just got a pacemaker put in at 65) I'm going back to eating right. I don't care if Chris won't eat right so it costs more to buy double the food. Chris agrees since my dad already is having issues that I probably need to take care of myself, strengthen my heart, etc.
So yeah, eating right for health, not weight loss this year. And forever. I'm not going to lie and say I won't be having an occasional indulgence, but I figure one day of eating off-plan every so often is MUCH better than one day of eating ON-plan every so often. Right?
The other thing I did (and am outright admitting it....) I bought my first pair of compression pants for running, and bought a new pair of running shoes. I thought about it, and EVERY SINGLE ONE of my closest girlfriends runs or is starting to run this year. So, starting next week, I'm going to be running on Tues, Thurs, Sat (and possibly Sun,) and doing workout DVD's on the off days. Here's the other thing. I'll be running OUTSIDE. In the COLD. This is what makes me nervous, but don't want a gym membership, so I suppose I'm going to have to face the elements, suck it up, put on my big girl panties and do it. Anna's mom (I call her my "Baby Mama"
) is going to run with me, and I have another friend that will run with me on weekends that she doesn't have her daughter.
I'm very excited, yet still super scared because I REALLY HATE being cold. Like, if it's cooler than 75 indoors or outdoors, I'm freezing. Chris keeps the heat set at 70 in our house most of the time, and I typically wear a long sleeved shirt with a fleece long sleeved hoodie over it, fleece pants, and socks, and am still cold. Sooooo.... yeah we'll see how it goes. Not making it a resolution, just really going to try because I need to strengthen my heart. I sleep 8-9 hours a night, get up, sit in my car on the way to work, sit on my butt in my cube for 8 hours, sit in my car on the way home, and then sit on my butt all night. There's no reason I can't take an hour out of my evening to take care of myself.
So anyhoozle, I hope everyone else is well. I made all of that public so you all can hold me accountable.... still haven't posted it to FB yet. I'm still afraid.
Have a great OP day!
