Resolutions and the start of a booze free month...

 I have written resolutions pertaining to many aspects of my life.  A few that concern this blog are those in the realms of exercise and culinary.


Culinary
·         Learn to make Kombucha
·         Try 1 new healthy recipe a month – ½ from Furhman
·         Post at least 2x a month in Twisted Sister – especially June –Dec.
·         Try 1 new fruit/veggie every month

Exercise/Weight
·         Lose 12 pounds
·         Don’t gain it back again by Dec.
·         Hike more than 2 miles 3x a week – Set a trail/mountain goal every month to work toward
·         Keep an exercise calendar/log
·         Yoga and/or pilates 5x a week
·         Take yoga teacher training
·         Work out with weights 3x a week

These are ambitious goals and I have tried to include a few references to the bad holiday months when everything falls apart and becomes about discount Halloween candy and baked goods.

Today I started my diet on my quest to lose 12 pounds.  My current weight is 136 and I hope to get down to 124 - I can subtract small numbers anyway.  I have also started a booze free month beginning on Tuesday January 12th.  I will have no drinks until February 13th.  Then I will make his Lordship treat me to a Valentines dinner in celebration of my self control.  Wish me luck.

    Your resolutions are ambitious but you can do it! I'm going to post my resolutions tomorrow. I am with you on the NO BOOZE. I'd like to do a year starting today, but would settle for a month. Let's see how it goes :-)

      I am not missing it nearly as much as I did last March. I think you can do it.

      I started booze free on Sat, 1/16. No cravings yet but I've been off work. The real test will be coming home after a long day at the University. But I'm meditating on being a non-drinker :-). I weigh 140 - help!! Highest ever non-pregnant weight - big sigh. How is the Zone going? I'm just trying to eat right and stop eating when full. No sugar or booze.

      Alright - VERY PROUD OF YOU! The zone is going great - I weigh in tomorrow at 1 week but I feel tons better already. Just a lot less bloated.
