Summarizing the Year
Well, in a few days, 2011 will be over. My, what an eventful year this has been.For starters, Rich and I got married! It will be eight months since we have been married. It seems like only yesterday, I was starting my job at Waters Kraus & Paul and getting the final details of the wedding together. I wouldn't trade married life for anything in the world right now.
I have to check to verify this but I ended up gaining weight this year. I managed to fit in my wedding dress (and Ma said I wouldn't!) which was what really mattered this year. I have been hovering around the same two to three pounds in what seems like forever. Just yesterday, the scale moved in the direction I wanted to go: down. It was only 0.2 lbs. A small victory I will take and savor. This has been my catalyst to get back on plan to lose the last 25 lbs that I need to get to goal!
I have to say that I survived nine weeks of boot camp. It was hard in the beginning but I stuck to it, only missing one session with Coach Katie. I had fun and I learned some exercises that I can incorporate when I go to the gym.
Here are my resolutions for the year:
1) Track what I eat on weekends. This is the part where I don't account for in my food journal. I figured that once I do track what I eat on Saturday and Sunday, I will be able to try to normalize my eating patterns. I do a good job here in the office. I want to carry that momentum to my weekends.
2) Run. I slowly want to get back to running again. I really want to do a 5k with Rich in the coming year. I have been going to physical therapy with Curtis for over a year now. My posture has gotten better but I still have a ways to go.
3) Push ups. Last month, I started doing the iPhone application of 100 push ups where in six weeks, you can end up doing 100 good form push ups. I stopped doing it after Thanksgiving. I am going to pick this up again in the new year.
4) Taking time for myself. I don't mean just doing the things that I do for myself now- going to the gym, going to centering prayer, etc. I want to do things in addition to those times I have for myself. Like for example, taking time to journal, taking the occasional bath and mud mask.
I'll leave this list for now. I wish you and yours a very happy and prosperous 2012!
