Well, I've been kicking ass this year on the working out front. Almost every work day, I've been at the gym at least once, sometimes twice! I'm starting hot yoga for a month soon, and after that, it may be onto Lithe or Rowzone to vary my workouts with running, cardio classes, circuit training and weight lifting. I feel like I've done well over the past year building up a repertoire of exercises that will help me get to where I want to be.
On the not so kick ass side of things has been my winter eating habits. I seem to be hungry all the time, no matter how much fiber and protein I try to pack in, and I've been basically eating everything in site! I'm still trying to make healthy choices, but true to form, I haven't really restricted anything from my diet. I am up to 197 pounds as of this morning, which, if you were keeping track, is almost 8 pounds heavier than my lowest weight last year. I think I've really got to make some big changes with how I'm eating if I want to reach my goal of 184 before my birthday this year. I know April seems a ways off, but it always creeps up on me and I've never been this close before! It's actually doable this year! I just need to...you know...do it.
So, on the horizon, continuing to pursue workouts like a champ, snacking on copious amounts of fruit, protein bars, tea and nuts to keep me full during the week and making better choices for what I stuff my face with on the weekends. Practicing mindful eating is something I want to keep at, though it has been hard for me. And I may look into a short fast/cleanse once I get my tax return or yearly bonus from work, just to jumpstart what I know I'm already good at doing for the most part...eating healthy foods!
Stay tuned for next month, where I'll talk about how my month of yoga was, and give an update on where my weight is after trying to reignite my motivation three weeks into the year.
