1st Workout of 2016!

One small step in exercising, a great leap for becoming a #FITNEWYOU!

Reflections of Another Year - 2015

As 2015 comes to a close, I'm taking time to reflect on these past 365 days. Unfortunately, I haven't reached any of my goals.  No weigh loss (weigh gain, ugh), didn't exercise as much as I wanted to, etc. I stop blogging early in 2015 - I think blogging was a big part of my success in past years. At least I didn't wait to start on my goals for next year.  I joined a gym and worked out the day after Christmas.  I even worked out today, the last day of the year (a 30:00 treadmill run ) - hopefully sparking me to continue in 2016.

I'm not giving up.  We all have setbacks.  It's important that we get back in the game - the sooner, the better.

My manta for  2016!

Hope you'll follow me on my #FITNEWYOU journey!

NEW YEAR, NEW ME!

New Year is a time for reflection and a time for a fresh start.  And with a fresh start comes the opportunity to try a different approach, a different strategy. This time I'm throwing out the resolutions.

Instead of making resolutions (what I want to do), I'm making declarations (WHAT I WILL DO):

5) Try a new sport activity/fitness class each month

I will:

1) Lose 15 lbs by Valentine's Day (Feb. 14th)

2) Lose 25 lbs by Easter (Apr. 5th)

3) Reach goal weight (175 lbs) by Labor Day

4) Finish a marathon

5) Try a different sports activity/fitness class each month

Also, something new for 2015 - a 'Rememberlutions' jar' - probably best described as a mini time capsule for yourself. So I saw a post on Facebook (from buzzfeed.com - Remeberlutions Jars)- It You use any jar and decorate it to your particular style and taste. Each time something good happens in your life (a promotion, a weight loss, a change in your relationship status, etc.), you drop a note or something to commemorate the event in the jar. You shouldn't limit yourself - anything that's important to you should go into the jar. This way you celebrate yourself through the year. Then on the next New Year's Eve, you open the jar and read all the great things that took place in your life over the course of the year,
