Happy New Year!

Resolutions come when we are ready. I was ready almost 4 months ago.

Over the Christmas break, I slipped and paid for it. Eating sugar isn't for me. It's taken 3 weeks to clean out my system. I am not sure I've got it all out. I've felt lethargic, moody, had an upset stomach, headaches and all around BLAH!

Since going back, I've felt more balanced but still don't feel completely there. It'll come.

Some things I noticed while eating more sugar and carbs.... I was hungrier, I had cravings, I would devour... I felt like an addict. Okay that's harsh but... now the 'neediness' has subsided. If I do get hungry, satiating it isn't greedy. I've even simply NOT felt hungry. An new one for moi! A sense of comfort comes with that. My focus can go to something else.

I know what would help me get over that last hump... exercise. This brings me to...


My friend Di initiated an exercise challenge a while back. While I failed to take it on fully, it was a motivator to do the odd sit up, push up and walk. With the New Year here, I sat down to think HOW to incorporate some stuff into what I do. Cook, clean, getting ready etc... I've come up with a starter plan...

TV sit ups, leg lifts and weights
Bed stretches
Sink push ups
Kitchen calf lifts, squats (also while doing hair)
Running up the stairs

There. Easy peasy.

Hopefully this will get me started. Here's to hoping!

Happy New Year!
