New Years Day

Well, today is January 1, 2011 and I am, of course, thinking about my goals. Here are my physical goals for 2011. I have three:

1. Resurrect this blog. I seem to do better when I have to check in. Even though nobody reads this, I am more successful at taking care of my body when I write it.

2. If I want to eat it, I have to make it. This goes for everything! It will not only help my figure and my health, but it will help my pocketbook! If I want dessert, I have to make it (from scratch!) If I want french fries, I have to make them (from scratch!) If I want pizza, I have to make it (from scratch!) Well, I guess you get the idea. It will require lots of planning on my part and will result in lots of whining on the part of my children (read "Brenna"), but it is a good change.

3. Exercise! For over a year, I have faithfully walked three miles about 3 times a week with the best walking buddies in the world. Right after Thanksgiving, I got really sick and stopped walking and I haven't started again. Today, I walked about a mile and a half and almost died! I was pathetic! I could barely make it up the hill. Ugh! But I am committed to recommitting! This year my goal is three walking days with my amazing walking buddies and two gym days each week. I CAN DO THIS! I want to learn to love to exercise. My sister, Joyce, and my sister in law, Chelle, and my sister in law, Mickelle, have learned this principal. This year, I will learn it for myself.
