2011

It is a new year...

I have been thinking about what I would like to happen this year, I am avoiding saying "resolutions".

I would like to enjoy my life more. 

I get caught up in the daily nitty-gritty, with all the things that need to get done, and then at the end of the night I melt into my couch.  This is my life and this year I will enjoy and appreciate it more.  I will take time to love on my kids, my husband and my friends. I will make time to play with the people that fill my life with joy.

Running... I will run a marathon or two this year and at a pace that I can feel good about.

Health,  I know that this is the most generic resolution, everyone wants to loose weight in the new year.  But oh well here we go.  My heart and legs are strong but I am not where I want to be physically.  I am active already, I am a regular at the gym, we eat healthy.... hello I just ran a marathon.  But when I look in the mirror or try on clothes I am not seeing any of that.  It is time to make a change.  Starting this week. 

This week I will:

Move more, not just running but in the gym.  I am committing to 5 workouts this week.

Adjust the way I am eating.  I enjoyed the holidays and now I have to make some changes.  This week I am starting by eating breakfast (not just a cup of coffee and a bite or two of the kids food), I not eating sugar or white flour, and I am adding more veggies everything I am eating. 

I will keep you posted on how it is going and tell you about the healthy food I am making and eating, and if you have any great health tips or healthy recipes please share them.

Its a new year,
