365 New Things-Day 2

Today was a fairly uneventful day. I spent most of it cleaning and putting my house back together after the new years party. I did however read something that has me excited. My mom gave me a copy of a chapter out of the book 4 Hour Body. The chapter she gave me was, How to Lose 20 Pounds in 30 Days Without Exercise. As I read through it I felt like I finally found a "diet" that seems do able. One that doesn't require you to starve yourself and one where I don't have to put hormones into my body, potentially leading to health problems later on in life. The best part is I have to stick with the meal plan for 6you days at a time and on the last day I get to eat whatever I can think of. Then repeat that 4 more times.

Now when I plan to start something like this I think ahead to any potential days that might get me off track. Right now I can only think of one, my baby's 1st birthday. So I have committed to starting this tomorrow and once I am finished and lighter I'll start the Insanity dvds so ill be nice and fit for when the warm weather comes back.

The other nice thing about this diet is I still can exercise 3-4 times a week. Which is nice since I'm anxious to get my toned muscles back.

So today I learned and researched this new diet and tomorrow i'll be trying some new meals throughout the day.

365 New Things-Day 1

So I have challenged myself to learning or doing something new each day this year.

The thing I learned today was that having a massive hangover and an 11 month old does NOT go together. He may have stayed up later than normal but he still wakes up at 7! Next Year I will be drinking tons of water. Today was hell being so hungover.

I hope tomorrows new thing isn't as painful.

New Years Resolution 2012

I have put a lot of thought into my new years resolution this year. Just like everyoneI else every year it seems I am trying to get fit and lose weight. Well this year I wanted to do something a little more meaningful. I'm pretty excited about what I came up with since I feel that this is an achievible goal.

For my resolution this year I have decided to devote the year of 2012 to learning about new things and experiencing new things. My focus is going to be specifically on service and helping others. I am very selfish of my time and I can be very lazy in the comfort of my home. The first thing I'd like to do is become a volunteer for the children's hospital I just need to find the perfect fit. I'm keeping an open mind so it shouldn't be too hard.

The other part of my goal will be to try and learn one new thing. It might come from an experience or something I read all but I want to try and learn at least 365 new things.

Of course I still have my goal to get back in shape like I was pre-baby. So I've set myself another realistic goal. I want to finish Insanity. 2 months of working out should be easy but when its cold outside I have a hard time convincing myself to do any sort of physical activity that requires me to go outside (I have to workout in our garage). So hopefully starting tomorrow I will be on my way to completing one goal. Wish me luck!

Happy New Years!!!!
