New Year, New Me

Wow, you know I say this every year. I make a resolution to lose weight, yet, I drop off somewhere between the 1 & 2 day of the year.
This year it is not a resolution to lose weight, its a change of life. A change in my eating habits and exercising more. It's not that I eat too much, its that I eat the wrong things and I don't exercise. I HATE EXERCISE! There I said it. But I don't actually hate it, I hate the thought of it, but at the end of my workout I feel energized and ready for the day!
I wish I had the urge to want to exercise everyday like my friend Julie, but I'm just not there yet, maybe when I start seeing actual results, I'll get there.
I mean every year we go to the lake, its no surprise, and I'm so sick & tired of being overweight, especially at the lake, where only minimal clothing is required.
So, this post is to remind myself how great I feel right now, this very morning, after a nice 30 minute workout, and 2 miles on the treadmill.
It's to make a public declaration of my commitment to this, once & for all, I WILL lose weight while changing my habits.

Happy 2009!!

Mindy - you have to check out my favorite website for fitness and healthy eating. It's called sparkpeople.com and it's totally free and absolutely wonderful! If you get on, look me up. My username is LAURARAZZ. I've been on the site now for a little more than 2 years.

Thanks Laura! I've been there before, I have a hard time staying committed! I need someone to answer to, lol!

Mindy, you have done so well, and look really great! I am trying to lose some baby weight, and I just don't have the motivation to actually work at it as far as eating habits go...I eat way too much junk! This has motivated me to do better!
