New Year, New Me

If you've ever read my blog, you will see that I am STILL in an all-too-familiar place. I have been struggling with my weight and fitness goals for YEARS. This year I am determined to make a change! I am labeling 2012 my "GET FIT" year.

I have set tangible goals for myself this year and I am determined to reach these goals. Fitness is a huge goal. I have signed up for the Warrior Dash in June this year. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this race, it is a 5K combined with an obstacle course! I have never done anything like this in my life- so it will be a challenge!

Another goal is to lose enough weight to be able to stop taking my high blood pressure medication. I have been on it for three years and have had the dosage "upped" twice to keep my B/P where it needs to be. I don't want to take this medication any longer!

The third thing I have put into place for myself is to make time for me. I have a lot of new challenges right now in my life. I want to be able to be at my best to handle everything coming my way. I will be carving out time each day that is just for me, to work on me. I will also spend time with God daily.

I would love for you to follow me on this journey. I would love your support along the way and please feel free to comment. It helps me know people are reading and I'm not just talking to myself...lol.

    Sounds good .. I bought myself a new bath "scrubby" today to be a reminder of my goals .. stop smoking AGAIN .. drink more water .. eat healthy.

    Also, I ran into a co-worker today who is retired also and she now has a dance studio .. tap dance for ladies over 50 .. thinking about giving it a try .. however, I've always had trouble with "right & left" .. who knows.

    Oh, another goal .. and most important .. to thank God every morning for whatever .. even 2 feet of snow.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR .. YOU GO GIRL.
