Im baaaaack!

A New Year...a whole new set of problems! Right? Its the 4th week of January and whose already failed at their resolutions? Be honest, I will admit I've lost track on some of mine already. One of which was keeping up with this blog. The holidays were crazy and there was waaaaay too much eating and not enough exercising going on. I will admit for the first time in 3 years I gained weight :O (thats my shocked face) We all over indulge at the holidays, the hard thing is getting back on track. Get rid of the left over cookies, fudge, brittle and bark. Oh, and eating it does NOT count as getting rid of it!!! Believe me I know that trick. Standing in the kitchen at 10pm saying to myself "if I eat this last piece of Cranberry Almond bark it won't be here to tempt me tomorrow." Yeah, yeah but then tomorrow comes and someone brings you something else delicious and deadly to your diet. For the first time in years I fell to the temptation of holiday baking. I've gained weight and now I'm determined to take it off and reach my dream weight by April!

Go back to setting small goals for yourself, mine today was: "do not get into the jar of peanut butter" and success! I hit the gym and ate very well all day. Go me!! Little goals are the way to go but you also have to have the big dream. You have to have something to work towards. My 3 for the year: a half marathon, my trainer certification and my dream weight (which is 145 lbs for you nosy bloaks ;) ) These are all attainable if I work hard and stick to my guns I can do anything. YOU can to! You just have to ask yourself what do you want to do? Do you want to look in the mirror and be happy with what you see or do you want to spend another year avoiding mirrors and cameras? I know the feeling of hating the mirror and I'm starting to feel that pain again. So I WILL change! I no longer say the word try I just do! (I'm like Nike that way)

I want to be successful in 2012 and I will be! But with every new goal comes hurdles to jump over. There comes side steps and back tracks and days when you want to quit. Those are the days that show you what you're made of. So whose with me? Whose not going to try? Whose going to DO everything they can to be a success in 2012?
Let me know!
Love,
A.
