Tomorrow

Tomorrow is going to be the real test of strength. I return to work after being home since December 23, 2011! So...with temptation around the corner (fast food and a snack drawer) we'll see if I can keep my hunger in check...ugh!!!

My Virtual Model

I hear it helps to visualize when you want to make a change so I used the website My Virtual Model to 'visualize' the change I want to make this year.

Happy 2012!

I realize that this is completely cliche but I am starting fresh today! I need to get healthy (lower that cholesterol and lose some weight!) and why not start today? I signed up for a class back in November that starts today and I've never been more excited. It combines my need to lose weight and get healthy with my love of scrapbooking. Sadly, the scrapbooking has been lacking in my life lately so this is a really good thing! If you are interested in learning more about the class I'm taking, check out this link: Move More Eat Well 2012. Not sure if you can sign up late, but definitely worth looking into if it is offered in the future!

New Year's Resolutions:

1. Stop the soda! I realize that when I drink soda, I eat. Not a good combo. No soda, no excessive snacking??
2. Drink more water! I need to stay hydrated. I don't hate water, so why don't I drink it? Not sure but that is going to change!!
3. Get moving! I have a FABULOUS treadmill in the basement with a HUGE tv in front of it. No excuses not to get moving! 45 minutes/day. Excessive? Possibly. But for a person with high cholesterol, it is necessary.
