Happy New Years!

Overall the holidays were good to me! My travel was easy, I managed to work out (ok only once but hey) and I didn't gain any additional weight! YAY! So I am starting this year off at 156 pounds, three pounds heavier than this time last year.

And today I was back in the gym, bright and early. It wasn't easy - I had gotten used to sleeping in till 8am and starting the morning off slow. Today, I was up at 5:20am (just a little later than I was hoping) and at the gym by 7am. I packed my lunch and bought enough groceries to get me through the week.

I've revamped my goals for this year. Instead of weight loss only goals, I've set up monthly goals that include also include nutrition and fitness. This month, my goal is to work out 1000 minutes. If I get there, my blond hair will be going brown for the winter ;-)

I've also set up some medium and long term goals.

Medium = run a 5k. I signed up for the Race to Wrigley in April.
Long term = lose 20 pounds this year and get myself in shape for my November trip. I found this awesome trip - one full week hiking and kayaking in Hawaii. Add a day or two at the end for some spa treatments and I have a prize worth working towards!!!

All in all, the year is off to a good start. Thanks for sticking with me and as always, for your support!
