A rare post NYE entry -
The year has begun, and as usual I've made the commitment to get back on track. The New Years pot was all about Ray, so I decided to maybe keep up with my own challenges like I used to years ago. Who knows if I will follow through with it, but I think about 2012 a lot and I look at the things that were helping me, and I think writing crap down was one of them.
Ray and I are doing "no drink January", and getting on the train of a healthier lifestyle in general. Hes not a big drinker anyway so I don't think he will be tempted, and actually right now Im not either, although it really has only been 1 day for me.
I think sometimes I build things up in my head to be bigger than they are, and when I do that , I "borrow trouble" (something my dad used to say) where there is none.
SO instead of focusing on the maybe, Ill do a day by day and focus on the NOW.
NOW I need to go work out. I did lower body yesterday, so today is upper body.
Im 231 lbs and in terrible shape compared to how fit I was at one time, and I want to accomplish that if nothing else. The fitness part.
Im prepared to have trouble getting the weight off, as Im 49 years old and have hit menopause so I know that causes middle-weight gain and all sorts of fun things men done have to deal with. I think focusing on the feeling good, getting fit, and living a more healthy lifestyle is what I need.
Yes I want to be under 200 lbs once in my adult life, but Im not going to kill myself to do it.
I know I need to give up bread, and I am easing into that. Today my focus is working out and no drinking. Both of which I wont have any trouble doing. :)
Good start. Fingers crossed it will click like it has a few times in my life and Ill be back on track.
The biggest difference is I have a partner in it for the first time in my life, and while he cant do it for me, its nice to be with someone thats on the same page and supportive.
I fell happy today, and lucky to be where I am in my life.
Until tomorrow!
