so far, not good

Ok... so I haven't exactly kept up with what I said I was going to do this year. It's only been accomplished half way or barely started. In terms of my getting healthy in 09 plan... I started off great and slowly began to decrease in the motivation and work out regimen I had intended to pursue to complete my task. I still work out, but not 5 times a week like I began with. What a disappointment! I've barely worked out once this week and thats because I forced myself to take the dust out of my transfirm stepper and put on one of the FIRM work outs. Although it was only 30 mins of a workout, they surely know how to make every minute of it worthwhile! I surely woke up sore yesterday and kind of happy in knowing it meant I had a good workout. Yesterday was my day off, so I chose to not do much. That included skipping another workout. Today I cannot let myself off the hook and I have to do my aerobics or something. No excuses!

In terms of my eating habits... I've gotten a little bit better. I'm definitely trying to stay off all those no-nos of fast food, extra carbs and unhealthy oils. Yes, I do cheat, but when I do, I don't over indulge. I'm happy to say I'm definitely more aware of what I am eating and trying to still make the healthier choices. One thing I have done is eat more fruit. It satisfies my sweet tooth, but nothing can replace chocolate so I try to at least indulge in having some dark chocolate every now and then. I think if everything is done in moderation, you'll be happy and you'll see results. I definitely just need to step up on my exercise regimen. Exercise doesn't make me too happy to begin with, but once I'm done, it feels good.

Lastly, I did go out and buy some art materials, which made me really happy. However, I have yet to remove the wrapping and make some use of them. I will this week, that's my goal.

Ok, wish me luck in my endevours. I have just a couple months left until my vacation so I want to make an improvement in what I've set out to do for myself.
