The New Year Begins

Workouts:  Sunday (Jan.1) - 3.16 miles treadmill, Monday (Jan.2) - lower body + 1 mile warmup & cooldown

And so it begins......

My gym is having a contest for the New Year - if you work out 21 out of 31 days in January, you could win your membership free for a year.  I'M IN!  Good motivation.  So, today I'm 2days/2days.

Ess and I have set Mondays as our weigh-in day for the new year, with today being our baseline day.  Week 0. I gained several pounds back over the holidays but nothing too demoralizing.  We'll be reporting each week on how we're doing with our individual programs - successes and challenges.

Feeling a little like this - not me, but it could be.

As of this evening, the healthy groceries are bought and the gym schedule is set.  I have 2 new pairs of yoga pants and 3 inexpensive new t-shirts.  I purchased a spare water bottle and invested in a training journal.  No excuses allowed.  Every base is covered.

Sadly, it's back to work tomorrow.  It's been a great 10 days off.  I've read lots, been to the movies, shopped a little, worked out (4 out of 10 days....not bad for the Christmas holidays), cleaned my oven (oh yay!) and spent some time with friends, family and Golden Retriever Barbie.  

And I took some time to read my January horoscope on Astrologyzone.  Have  you read yours yet?  Go ahead, have some fun and see what January holds in store for you.

Stay warm if it's as cold as it is here tonight.
