A new year has begun (I can hardly believe it)!! Is anyone restarting today, or renewing efforts?

After a couple of weeks being kind of lax in the eating and exercise department, I am back at it, full-force. Who is with me?? I am actually impressed to bits that so many of us continued losing through the holidays (thank you, Karen, for keeping us motivated with the HHMC). But now we can really focus on our goals again. It will feel amazing!

Anyone have any fun last night? I was in bed, fast asleep by 10pm. LOL Yep, that's me, party-girl.

Hugs and best wishes to every one of you this year!! I am proud to call you all my buddies, and my friends.

Good morning Roni!!! Happy New Years to you and all the ladies. I am taking a day to myself. I joined a new gym yesterday (Planet Fitness) only $1 to join and $20 a month and I can bring my Mom or a friend any time I want. So tomorrow I'm back at it in the gym, I will be renewing my workout efforts. I plan to work out 6-7 days a week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday will be 45 minutes of cardio (I will build up from there.) Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday will be 25 minutes of cardio (will add on a little here too) and weight training. Sunday will probably be 30-45 minutes of cardio or the 30 minute fitness circuit that the gym has. I am so amped and ready to do this. I talked to my doctor yesterday and he likes my goal of 140 lbs as a start. He'd like me to lose an additional 20 lbs simple because with my height 140 is still obese. I compromised with 130 lbs. I told him if the additional ten came off so be it, if not then oh well. So now I've given myself until New Years 2010 to lose to 130 and I will be changing my ticker to reflect this. I know the gym will be essential in losing this weight. I am committed, I refuse to be big next year.

Good morning Roni and buddies!

Happy New Year to you all. I hope today is filled with lots of good times and good memories are made.

I am with you Roni. I have this summers swim wear picked out and ready to get into it. For me, today is a new day, a day that is going to set the standard for the rest of the year. It is not going to be a day of laying around on the couch and eating whatevers in the fridge. Its going to be a day filled with love, smiles, laughter and family time. I have got my plan wrote up and I am ready to put it into action.

Last night was a good one. Angel went a party at church and Mike and I watched some of our favorite shows. It was a good time. We got to bed about 1 a.m.

I am proud to call you my buddy and my friend as well Roni. I have come to value all of you and right now really couldnt imagine trying to lose this weight and deal with all they daily struggles by myself. I have attempted that and it doesnt work. So buddies, today is a new day and a new year, lets have a good one. Love you all!

Happy New Year Buddies!

DH and I had probably our best NYE yet! We did nothing. Well, we did some stuff. First we went out trying to run a few errands. I needed arch support inserts for my new shoes and Todd wanted to pick up the newest Guitar Hero among other household stuff. So we went to a Walmart - closed. To Best Buy - closed. Then to Kmart - open! So we got everything we needed there. He wanted to stay in and just have some drinks. I didn't want to have the empty calories, but I guess sometimes you really do just have to live life a little. It made Todd happy that I gave in. And we had a great night just drinking and playing guitar hero and listening to music.

Unfortunately I woke up way up. Like 5 pounds up. So I know it's not all real, but I still want it off pronto! The gym was open today, so I went there. I will admit I was nursing a hangover, so it wasn't easy. But I still managed to run 5 miles in 55 minutes. And I felt better afterward than I did prior to going.

So, I'm ready to take on the new year. I want this to be the year I get to goal! I want my focus to no longer have to be calories! I want to be truly healthy!
