I'm not one for official resolutions, but I do have some general goals for 2007. They involve being healthier in mind and body. I've been there before and I really want to get back to it, as I feel sooo much better when I'm taking care of myself. Well, duh... who doesn't?
2007 may just be the year of sugar detox for me. Of course, as I type this, I'm savoring a Lindt chocolate reindeer that was in a post-Christmas sale bin at the grocery store. I just started reading this book and there's no doubt that I'm beyond "sweet tooth," and that I'm a full-blown sugar addict. Not only does this create problems with weight control, but sugar is just bad for me. My moods, immune system and general health could benefit from getting off sugar. So I'm reading about this program with a skeptical but hopeful eye. Has anyone else conquered this one? Leave me a comment or send me an e-mail -- I'd love to hear how you're doing with it.
Along with the sugar element, there's the exercise piece. I have my second appointment with a fitness coach this week. I'm comfortable with the cardio equipment and want to move on to the resistance training. And of course there's the issue of getting myself to the gym. I really enjoy it once I'm there, but I have to get past the haul-my-butt-out-the-door challenge to make it happen.
In 2006 I said goodbye to a long-time employer and have moved on to what may end up being a greener pasture. It's too soon to say, but I'm still working out of my house and have plenty of autonomy and flexibility. This fits well with family life, and that's huge for me.
Also in the past year, my husband and I have watched our toddler become a little boy. The little guy does or says something every day that makes me so happy to be his Mom. It probably won't always be that way, but I'm loving it while we're at this amazing age of almost-3.
What does 2007 have up its sleeve? We'll see. Thanks for coming along for the ride! I'm glad my readers keep coming back. Your comments and e-mails are the best part of blogging!
Happy 2007 everyone!
