Happy New Year

My weight goal for Christmas was to weigh 170.  I did not accomplish this goal but I do feel good about the work I have accomplished this far.  I also managed not to gain weight on our trip to Arizona.  This morning I got up and weighed in and at first thought it was trickery so I stepped off, let it clear, and stepped back on.  A lovely 172.4.  I feel like I ate what I wanted and amounts that were good.  I did have a night of Thanksgiving proportions but obviously recovered.  I ran four times in Tucson, once in Pima and did the Bob Harper Biggest Loser workout and a Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred on level two in Pima as well.  My sister got me a yoga mat and a yoga dvd so now I can start my goal of doing yoga.  I think that it will build my core muscles and improve my balance, running posture, and endurance.  Proud of last year and happy for a new one.

Well 2012 turned out to be a great year. It started off crummy, gaining 15 to 20 lbs and then ended great because I lost about 50 lbs. I can't believe how well I've done. My initial goal was to get down to 230, which would have been a reasonable weight based on my average over the last 5 years. Today I weighed in at 218.8! and I feel great. I think I still have a few pounds to shed, but overall I'm a lot better off than I was just a few months ago. I can't believe that I used to carry around two of my daughter with me all the time. No wonder I was out of breath and couldn't do anything. Now I'm still not in great shape, but I can move a lot better and I don't feel like I'm near death when I try to run or play a game. This is extra good because I signed up for a city basketball league with some colleagues from work. Here's to 2013, may it be another year healthier than the last on this journey to a bodacious life.
Cheers,
