Jumpstart the New Year!

Saturday, December 26, 2009

I have been determined - just one thing since before Thanksgiving - to not GAIN weight over the holidays. Just maintain. So far, so good. I have splurged - a total of 3 pumpkin and 2 pecan pie slices over six weeks. And a couple of candy canes - that's it. I've been keeping to a salad for one meal a day.

Well, I'm off work until Monday, January 4, 2010. And I have to decided to jump-start my fitness/diet program by working out every day I'm off. Day two and I feel so much better!

I haven't been to work out since JULY due to a major foot injury. It's funny - I still can't power-walk, but I can jog. My therapist said that's because walking uses the toes and jogging uses the calf muscles.... strange! But so far, it's working! I just have pain when I'm walking to warm up, but once I start to jog, I'm fine. I did 1.5 miles yesterday, 2 today and hope to work back up to 4 miles by 1/4/10.

You go, girl!

Getting in a rountine

Thursday, July 16, 2009

Having finished my first month back at work after a 7-month lay-off, I am finally getting back into a routine! And the weight is starting to come off. I don't sit around all day, munching and thinking about what I can eat next. And I am starting to get up earlier to exercise - starting my day off in a positive mode.

All "good things"!!!! SMILE!
