january resolution: week one....

The pic below pretty much sums up the rest of my week.  My lonely shoes sat on the floor anxiously awaiting a workout that never happened.  So far I am not doing so hot with my first resolution of the year - 2 out of 3 workouts completed in week 1.  Let's hope that week 2 is a bit better!

january's resolution: 2 out of 3....

My second workout this week wasn't as enjoyable as my first.  I found myself obsessed with counting down the minutes and waiting for my workout to be over.  Nevertheless, it finally came after a bit of struggle and I did 33 minutes of high intensity on the elliptical.  Thank God for my friends Lady, Nelly and LMFAO.. they helped me get through it!  Now, only one more to go....     

january's resolution: workout

Yesterday was a gloomy as gloomy can be sort of day - it was pouring rain and a perfect day to cuddle up on the couch with a good book (...if only I didn't have to work and go to the gym...).  It took every ounce of energy and motivation to get me out the door but I did it, I went to the gym and actually had a really good workout.  I did 35 minutes on the elliptical at a good clip and then stretched a little bit.  So far so good on my New Year's Resolution for January.  Now I just need to fit 2 more sessions in this week....

never too late for NYs resolutions

First off.. I am sorry for being absent lately.  Life was crazy hectic last month and this month is turning out to be much of the same.  I promise that I'll be a better blogger this year... pinkie swear!

Speaking of this year, it's January 16th and I am just now thinking of my New Year's Resolution.  Usually I look forward to starting the year fresh with a few resolutions and abide by the resolutions for about 2 months.  To mix it up this year I am going to do a new resolution each month and will make it my year of mini goals (that hopefully stick for more than a month!).  

JANUARY = 3 WORKOUTS A WEEK

So for the rest of January I am committing myself to doing at least 3 workouts a week.  Yes, I know I am jumping on the healthy bandwagon with the rest of the population but this needs to happen.    And these are legitimate go to the gym and sweat workouts, not the "I just cleaned the house so that counts as a workout" workout.  Wish me luck and stay tuned for updates....  Happy 2012!!!
