I can't even believe that so much time has passed since I have written! When all is said and done, I have lacked the motivation to do much besides work and sleep. I have realized I am the only one who can make my motivation come back, so tomorrow morning I am starting on a new workout plan. The good news is that I get to start off slow! Tomorrow morning I will push a good cardio workout for 15 minutes. Yes, 15 minutes!
With that said, I AM BACK! I am getting back on track if it kills me! Working out and eating better have to become priority in my life and I am ready to put those things at the top of the list. I have a lot going on in my life (I will get to those in later blogs), but taking care of myself is super important. Therefore, health is numero uno right now.
I can do it! You can do it! I will share more as I get further into this new workout routine. The stress that has been going on lately has gotten to me, but I am going to rise above and live each day to the fullest. Let's get to it!

Holiday Hangover - The Sugar Kind
Wow, it is already 2012! Who knew that 2011 would come and go so quickly? The older we get, the faster time really does seem to move. The end of the year is always filled with fun holidays that allow you to spend time with family and friends, enjoy life, slow down and really be thankful for the blessings that you have. They also give you this idea that it is "okay" to indulge in the tastiest feasts!
Starting with Thanksgiving, I have been enjoying delicious food with no regard for the calories, fat or sodium that I am ingesting. With the Christmas season, I ate plenty of cookies and candies and treats galore! Never once stopping to think about the impact on my body. Oh, and there has been an impact! A full blown holiday hangover have ensued!
It is true that I am getting older, but lately I have been feeling sluggish, stiff and noticing aches and pains here and there. I can guarantee it has more to do with the fact that I have not been eating healthy nor have I been staying active like I have wanted to. It is easy to use the holidays as an excuse, but the truth is that there is no excuse. I make my own decisions on everything that I do in my life. That includes what I do or do not eat and whether I workout or not. I make these decisions about my life just as I make any other decision about how I choose to live. And frankly, I chose to be a lazy holiday bum stuffing my face with sugar coated cookies and honey glazed ham!
You would think with the new year, I would be more motivated than ever to get back on track and really stay on track. I am definitely motivated, but I have this problem. I have a lack of time. I have been struggling to find a nice schedule that works for me when it comes to meal preparation, working out and still having a life outside of all of that on top of work! I am slowly working on it, but know there is still a lot to accomplish so it is more about tackling one thing at a time. Happy to share that I have quit smoking! Not an easy thing to do, but a smart health decision I should have made a long time ago! Now, I am focusing on my eating habits. I will add the workouts within the next two weeks, but I want to get my eating in check! Sounds fair!
So as I close another entry in this blog, I may be losing my mind a little more right now than weight! That will be flipping around very soon. Until next time, stay happy and healthy!
